2. You will be sent an email (to the address that you entered while registering) with a link. Click on that link. That activates your account. Login using your user id and password.

3. Create a property by entering it’s address. Aroundpoint will loacte it on a map.You may use an MLS# if you have one or use any ID (aroundpoint will ensure that it is unique).

4. Click “Add Points of Interest to Map” and then “Show me the Points”. Select a category of Points and supply a search radius.  AroundPoint will find the points around your property.

5. Click “Select All” to include the points.

6. Click on the points to personalie! That’s the big advantage. Tell your potential buyers why YOU think that proximity to this point of interest is a great asset.

7. Optionally add your own points of Interest and personalize.

8. Youre done! Now you can tell your friends about your personalized surrounding tour at aroundpoint .com. All they have to do is visit www.aroundpoint.com and enter your mls#  (or unique id) in the upper left box of the home page.

Interesting surroundings

April 28th, 2009

We know that more 80% of home buyers initially use the internet to begin their home search. With ubiquitous mapping solutions, there are tons of sites that will tell you what is around the property that is being considered for purchase. However, the personalizing of those surroundings is aroundpoint’s value propostion.

For instance:

Where does the school bus stop? Can I see it from my kitchen window? That can be an important fact to know if I end up driving my child to the bus-stop two houses down on snowy days.

I love dancing… is there a dance studio in the neighborhood of the property? If so, what’s it like? How much does it cost?

And baby-sitting! Are there enough baby-sitters in the area for my toddler when I want that much needed breather?

And tons more… Here’s a sample!

Thoughts anyone?
