Bravo Launches New Real Estate Search Portal for SW Florida Market

Sarasota, FL (PRWEB) July 8, 2007 -- Bravo Brokers, Inc., the leading next generation Real Estate firm located in Sarasota, FL, announced today the completion of a 7 month development project and subsequent launch of its new and completely redesigned website at www.BravoBrokers.com.

Bravo's new website has been created drawing on cutting edge mapping technology and extensive custom MLS/IDX data integration featuring multiple IDX and MLS data feeds. Bravo's site is introducing a number of core functionalities that are not found in any competing broker websites in Bravo's market area, including

- Full Zillow API Integration. Bravo's new website tightly integrates Zillow's Zestimates and comparable sales data via the recently released Zillow API. When looking at a property detail page, registered users will also see a value estimation based on current comparable sales, as well as a clickable list of recent comparable sales.

- Visual Map Searches. Users are able to navigate a local map, moving around and zooming in/out, with properties being displayed on the map. This allows for a visual map driven search for available properties, as opposed to searching by price range as is common on broker websites.

- Simple Text Box search interface. Visitors can simply enter a ZIP code, MLS number, street name, city name, or name of a neighborhood or community and Bravo's proprietary search engine will search all available properties for matches and then display matches on a map.

- Multi-MLS Search Engine with integrated Rebate calculator. Users can search multiple MLS systems from the simple search interface and search results displayed automatically show the amount of Bravo's cash rebate paid to buyers.

- Ability to create complex custom searches, including searches based on the age of a listing. This unique feature allows investors for example to search for properties that have been on the market for a certain amount of time.

- myBravo Backoffice. Registered users will be able to save searches, create automatic updates, schedule showings or submit an offer using various tools located in the myBravo backoffice.

In announcing today's release and launch of the Bravo website Thomas Heimann, Bravo's President and CEO comments: "We are extremely proud of our new website which includes a number of industry-first features. After 7 months of development efforts I believe we have created the most sophisticated, yet user friendly real estate search tool in our market place. Our focus has been from the start to deliver the largest possible amount of property information combined with an extremely easy to use, intuitive interface, and I believe we have succeeded at doing so".
