A Real Estate Tool to Better Market Homes Online
Miami Beach, FL (PRWEB) January 14 2008 -- Fizber.com has just released a new feature that allows real estate agents rate properties for sale based on the driving distance of businesses and civic destinations from a given address using Google Maps data.
Julia Foster comments on the new widget, "In addition to Drive Score (http://drivescore.fizber.com/), we provide the Drive Score Real Estate Widget (http://www.fizber.com/sale-by-owner-home-services/drive-score-widget.html), which is simple to integrate into online real estate listings or a website. If you're a real estate agent interested in showing off your properties' Drive Score, you can add the Drive Score widget to your site or blog."
With Drive Score, buyers can see how close establishments are by car. Drive Score shows a map of what establishments are in a property's neighborhood and calculates a Drive Score based on the number of places within a convenient driving distance. Drive Score Widget allows real estate professionals to embed elements of Drive Score functionality directly on their websites, social networking sites, or blogs by simply copying and pasting HTML code.
"I work in real estate and I know that buyers want it all within a convenient driving distance", says Kelly M., Agent. "It's simple to add the Drive Score widget to your real estate website, and home buyers can easily see a map of what's nearby."
Americans don't want to walk regardless of what public health experts urge. Three-quarters of short trips, a mile or less, are made by car, federal studies show. For decades, cities, towns and suburbs have been developed on the assumption that every trip will be made by car. That has all but eliminated walking from daily life for people in most parts of the country. Americans make fewer than 6% of their daily trips on foot, according to studies by the Federal Highway Administration.
The addition of a Drive Score Widget to real estate home listings will make it even easier for buyers to find the home (http://www.fizber.com/home-by-owner/index.html) they want in an area they like.

My Third Real Estate Investing Deal, Another True Nothing Down Deal.
My third deal as a real estate investor involved almost no money out of pocket for me at all. The home was in good shape and had only been built about 14 months earlier. The home is in a neighborhood where several builders had unsold homes on the street making it very difficult to sell a used home. The seller had an unusual motivation for wanting to be rid of the house: he wanted to forget an ex-girlfriend as he had bought the house to get married and for them to live there. The seller contacted me through an online lead site and looking over the deal I knew it was in an area that isn?t very good for retailing homes right now due to over building in the area. So what I did was offer to lease option the property from him. Like many sel...
