Home Search Merges with Google Maps

Searching for a home or ranch in San Antonio? This is the homesearch site you have been waiting for. Check out the San Antonio MLS Search site www.satxmls.com. Users need not complete any online registration or jump through hoops of any sort… all you have to do is click on the San Antonio MLS Homesearch.

This MLS home search merges the features of all real property listings of the San Antonio Board of Realtors with Google Maps. First impressions are Wow! Why hadn't someone done this before?

Maps used to be buried several clicks away from the listings. Now, the listings are plotted for you on Google maps first up front. You pick the area on the map you are interested in looking to buy a home and then drill down to find the house that meets your needs in those areas.

The way it works is really pretty easy … go to the site www.satxmls.com. You will see the Google Map. The red pins indicate the city, the green pins indicate the individual listing details. Hover your mouse over the red pin to see how many listings are available in each town/city. Click on the red pin to see the individual listings. Click on the green pins and you will be able to see the "More Details".

If the pins are too close together, simply change the view by clicking on "Zoom Out" or "Zoom In". Click on the area of the map you are interested in looking to re-center the map.

You may find it useful to select the desired "Search Criteria" in the box to the right of the map. The more information you can narrow the search down with the better. It's best to start with a narrow search and then broaden your search to find more results.

As you select the "Search Criteria" remember to click the "Redraw Map" button to automatically update the map to match your search. Clicking on the green pins will instantly open a thumbnail summary of the listings. Click on the summary information for complete property details.

Although, you don't have to sign up, register or jump through hoops of any sort to use the San Antonio MLS Home Search, you may register for a free San Antonio HomeScanner account so that you can keep track of your search, or get automated email alerts on new or updated listings that match your criteria.
