As the race to build a national MLS rages on, MLS Maps takes a shortcut to the problem and offers visitors links to local real estate web sites that provides free access to MLS listings which are displayed on local maps. As a result, at it’s launch, MLS Maps, http://www.MLSmaps.com, provides visitors with access to over 1.2 million listings all searchable on local maps, and they expect to grow the number of listings to over 2 million by year end.
Working with agents who are using WolfNet Technologies MapTracksSM search solution, MLS Maps is able to provide visitors with the best in map search technology, without having to invest heavily in IT development, which helps keep this an affordable marketing program for local agents who want to capture the lions share of people searching for a home on the internets.
Unlike many internet marketing sites which sells agents small geographic territories like zip codes, or single suburbs, MLS Maps allows agents to own entire metro areas for less than what a zip code might cost at some of the other sites.
Horst, founder of Agentopolis, a national directory of real estate agents, said MLS Maps benefits from a simple user interface and fast connections to homes for sale in most major metropolitan areas.
In addition to listings, MLS Maps also provides users with access to school information, city, county and federal statistical information for all 50 states as well as three different ways to get a value for your home.
Participation is open to any licensed real estate agent providing map based search in their local area and is only available to one agent per market. Agents can also acquire MapTracksSM through MLS Maps and it’s partnership with WolfNet Technologies.
