SpatialMatch continues to integrate IDX listings with lifestyle search across the US, including the latest in St. Louis area

Hundreds of brokers and agents continue to add the SpatialMatch® IDX with Lifestyle Search Engine to their websites.

SpatialMatch just integrated the IDX listings in the St. Louis market and the response from real estate agents is very, very positive.

“As soon as I saw it (SpatialMatch), it was a no-brainer,” said Mark Richert, owner of Finding Homes for You. “SpatialMatch immediately made sense to me. It adds another dimension to searching for a home. The content and depth is really rich.”

Finding Homes for You was one of the first companies in the St. Louis market to adapt the map-based, data intense technology. The tool was developed by Home Junction Inc. to give brokers and agents a way to compete with the larger real estate sites for consumer traffic.

Essentially, they are adding a gigantic, hyper-local neighborhood database and information portal to their website, completely integrated with your MLS listings.

Richert prides his company on their ability to innovate quickly. His firm was the first to provide mobile-based home searches in the area.

He recognized the same technology advantage in adding SpatialMatch to his site.

“Traditional home searching is kind of like viewing a regular (2D) movie at the theater. St. Louis Lifestyle Searching is like putting on the 3D glasses and seeing things in new and different dimensions,” he added.

As strictly a buyers’ agent, Richert said this platform is a good fit for their clientele because they get many scientists, doctors and other types who tend to conduct extensive research before they buy a home. Many start months in advance of a move and Richert believes this extensive, hyper-local database will set his company apart with early-stage buyers.

Next,  meet Tom Knittel, another established real estate broker who owns Aquire Realty Group, who also added SpatialMatch to his web site. Knittel has seven years experience in real estate and just opened his own office in February.

He believes adding the lifestyle search application will give him an immediate edge and allow him to offer in-depth research to customers. SpatialMatch is not only a powerful tool for buyers, but also a way to impress sellers that you have the means to market the best qualities of their house, and also the most attractive amenities in their neighborhood.

“It’s a feature that will get prospects and clients coming back on a regular basis, not just to look at real estate but also to look for schools, restaurants, golf courses, etc.,” he said. “Hopefully they will remember you later on by giving them this information.”

Knittel is so excited about the platform, he placed it on his home page, showing local neighborhoods as the opening view.  Users enter and feast on all of their information needs.  Very, very cool.

To both of these new customers, the SpatialMatch Team says “Welcome. We are here to create a fun and engaging, and a personally-relevant user experience for each of your prospects.  Everything that we do is aimed at exceeding your prospects expectation from the moment that they enter your website.

SpatialMatch will increase your prospects ‘time-on-site’ and create prospect loyalty for you.  Thank You and Enjoy.”
