Check out the MapChoice interactive google map based searching on America’s Choice and 2.5% Real Estate Direct sites.  Start to conduct a search for properties and choose the MapChoice icon.  This tool dramatically cuts down your home search.  Try it.  It is so much better than typing in search criteria in the old systems.  What do you think of the panoramic street views?  Scary technology to say the least.  You really can drive right down streets, make turns, and see the homes all from  your computer.  I was playing with it today and saw a woman exiting her car.
