Property search engine with millions of listings nationwide
The service is using RealBird's technology and data from Oodle.com
For the first time in the industry, it allows you to provide your clients with
access to millions of listings nationwide, including For Sale, For Rent,
Foreclosures, FSBO and more. You can service your local homebuyer prospects and
refer out-of-area leads to other agents in your network, for example on
ActiveRain or other real estate networks. Since all leads from this branded
service are forwarded and belong to you, you have full control over what to
refer out and which propsects to handle yourself.
It's your service: your photo, your contact info, your visitors and leads
Just like with IDX search engines, the RealBird Property Search service runs
under your own name and prospect inquiries are all forwarded to you. Every page
contains your photo, contact information and links to your website, blog and
social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, ActiveRain and MyBlogLog. When a
visitor registers on your site their account is assigned to your profile and
they can save searches and listings in their account. When they forward listing
information to their family, share links on their social network or take the
search engine as a widget onto their own blog, the service retains your private
labeling. You can also add custom widgets to the full screen version including
your blog feed, slideshows, videos or your Twitter updates to further customize
the service.
Ultrafast user interface
The system was designed from the ground up to be one of the fastest property
search engines in order to provide your clients an outstanding user experience.
Search results for any type of queries across this vast database are returned
on the average in less than a second.
Mapping, Google Street View and Google Earth features
Of course, no RealBird service can be without advanced mapping features. The
search results can be instantly mapped on street, satellite, terrain maps and
even with the embedded 3D Google Earth. Property details include large Google
Street View where it is available and regular maps. Nearby school information
is also provided with the listing details.
Unlimited, preconfigured neighborhood and niche searches
You can set up unlimited, special links, widgets and full screen service for
any search criteria. Create preconfigured neighborhood searches for your blog's
and website's neighborhood pages or create niche searches for your vertical
markets. With the powerful keyword filtering option of the search engine, you
can set up for example searches for "ocean view luxury condos", "3 million
dollars+ homes" or even one for current "gas station" listings. The limit is
only your imagination. You can also create and share custom searches for your
existing clients. Use the search configuration tool to create these custom,
predefined search engines and to generate the permalinks and widget codes for
these. It's quick, powerful and fun.
Customizable
Select from 5 color themes, change the header text and add any number of
sidebar modules to the full screen version to enhance the service with your own
content. You can add your featured listings, slideshows, Twitter updates, blog
feed or any other 3rd party service.
Blog and website widgets, same powerful search engine in different sizes
The user interface of the search engine is designed in a way that it can fit to
the available screen space no matter where you deploy it. A sidebar widget is
provided to easily add access to listings on your blog's sidebar, or you can
embed the full-featured version into your web pages or blog posts and it will
automatically resize and hide unnecessary modules, depending on the available
space. You can of course also link your search engine as a full screen
application. Please visit the widget configuration page to generate these
modules.
Web traffic analytics
You can add your own Google Analytics tracking code and get detailed insight
into search visitor statistics.
