My newest project has been the construction of an IDX system for Manor Realty in Chester California. I have been working for the broker / owner Alan Savage for several years now and constructed a few websites and IDX systems for him.
About two years ago I built the first version of the Plumas County IDX search system for Manor Realty and somehow between then and now it got disconnected from the IDX system. Since then I have refined some techniques and SEO for IDX projects to include higher level Google Map API functionality to give a feeling like most of the high end real estate search companies use (Trulia, Zillow).
Plumas County is north east of Sacramento and West of Reno NV. In the Sierra Nevada mountains it is a great location for skiing, biking and other recreational activities in their season. At the center of Plumas County is Lake Almanor a beautiful lake with great fishing, boating, and water sports.
There are almost 2000 listings in the Plumas County MLS today, mostly single family homes and lots but a few ranches and commercial property scattered in different cities. Some believe Lake Almanor to be the next Lake Tahoe as developers find the area and begin to build ski resorts and other attractions. Only time will tell but already many investors have found this area to be exploding with new real estate growth.
Almost all the local brokerages contribute their listings to this system, so unlike other web sites that only show you a portion of the listings, or perhaps only their listings alone, this brings you the entire multiple listing service. Franchise brokerages such as Coldwell Banker, Re/Max, Century 21, London Properties Lake Almanor, United Country, Plumas Properties, and Prudential. Other local agencies who contribute to this service include Almanor Busy Bee Realty, Baumann Realty, Bailey Creek Properties, Mountain properties and others.
Manor Realty is located on the north west side of Lake Almanor in Chester CA at 289 Main Street and was the brokerage for Foxwood at Lake Almanor for a during its early stages of development.
