Free exposure for your listings via Google Maps

Google Real Estate
Did you know Google Maps now has a specific search engine for finding properties for sale? You may be able to leverage this tool to help generate more free exposure for your properties.

Right now, you can enter in neighborhoods, zip codes, or city/state combinations to find specific data on listings in a targeted geographical area. You can also narrow search criteria such as "For rent / For sale / Foreclosure," the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and square feet.

Try out a few searches here:

How do you get involved? Google offers a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page to help agents and brokers understand how to use the tool to help promote listings, correct information, and give listings more exposure. Questions surrounding legality, broker permission, and how to upload listings through "Google Base."
