Beverly Joins the Web 2.0 World

Welcome to my new and improved real estate website, which now includes awesome maps, chat capabilities, my blog, and virtual/video tours. My new website will have a blue/gray background versus burgundy. If you are not seeing this, then the transfer just isn’t complete yet, check back soon!

I’ve chosen/designed this website with care and have added items that I believe will help bring the site into the Web 2.0 age and provide a value-added service to you. Based on comments I’ve received from clients and research presented at the C.A.R. (California Association of REALTORS) conference in October 2007, I’ve included a chat section where my clients and customers can “chat” with me via the Internet without having to wait for me to check my email (while I’m online). There are also easy links to my featured properties where you can choose to view a virtual tour or video of my listings. There is also a blog summary that links to this blog.

You’ll also find that looking for a property is a much easier and pleasant experience. Generally, you’ll be able to look at the map and see where the home is located visually on a map. If you are looking for land listings though, they may not show on the map correctly as far as location if they have not been “geo-coded” when the listing agent submitted his or her listing.

A feature you will find soon on my site is a foreclosure/real estate owned (REO) properties search feature. This should be available before April 1, 2008.

I love feedback. Let me know what you think of this new site: www.oakhurstrealestate.net.
