I have been beta testing a new CRM (Client relationship Manager) for SoftRealty, my IDX (Internet Data eXchange… the real estate search utility) supplier for GarageHomesUSA.  You can actually click on “Property Search” on the toolbar above and it will take you right there.  Basically, they are trying to amp up the quality of real estate search tools.

I have played with it and spent some time trying to figure out what the next step could be… and I have a few ideas… but what I really want is feedback from everyone else.

What would make the coolest search site ever?

Would you like to be able to share houses that you are thinking about with your friends through FaceBook or another social networking site?

Would you like to be able to log in at the same time as some of your family or friends and then surf together… like a conference call on the web.

We already have ‘mash-ups’ that combine mapping with the search… what other data would you like to be able to see at the same time to make a better search?  School rating data?  Demographics like income and lot or home sizes?

I can think of a lot of things, but I know that all of you can think of more…  and I want to deliver the best information to my friends at SoftRealty so that they can deliver the coolest search capability back to me… to give to you.

Feel Free…

Feel free to dive into the search at GarageHomesUSA to try it out.  Try out the search, try out the CRM.  Make yourself an account and see what you think.  I will probably be talking with them on Thursday or Friday.  You can email me your thoughts, catch me on chat on the site and let me know what you think or leave a comment.  Whatever is easiest for you works for me.

My goal is to deliver the best experience for all of my clients, and even for those that aren’t my clients, but utilize my site to search.  And I appreciate you being here and helping.
