What a difference a boundary makes – use tools to show them
“You need boundaries…even in our material creations, boundaries mark the most beautiful of places, between the ocean and the shore, between the mountains and the plains, where the canyon meets the river.” – Wm. Paul Young
Borders are important. Borders have impact. And borders are everywhere.
Home buyers would be smart to research the boundaries surrounding any property they may consider.
One tool real estate brokers and agents can use to assist their clients in this search is the geo-spatial neighborhood map tool SpatialMatch.
And a real estate professional can use borders to help close a sale or create a marketing campaign.
Naturally, borders for school districts are crucial. Parents want to know the district that is best for their children and as you know, will base their entire home buying plans based just on the quality of the school district.
SpatialMatch not only shows the district borders, it also integrate School Data into its search tool so buyers can see enrollment size, number of teachers, website, etc.
But what about other boundaries of importance:
- Municipal Boundaries
- Home Owner Associations
- Restrictive Covenants
- Zoning
- Architectural Control Committees
- Special Assessments
- Flood Plains
- Planned Unit Developments
All of these can have an adverse or positive effect on buyers.
Maybe taxes are higher over there than here.
Perhaps this area requires flood insurance, but that area doesn’t.
Maybe you can’t make changes to your property here, but you can here.
With a geo-based platform integrated into a real estate website, an agent or broker can point out various boundaries or even draw various boundaries and post it alongside the properties under consideration.
That’s powerful.
That’s highly professional.
That’s displaying not only local and market knowledge, but state-of-the-art resources that are sure to impress buyers and possibly generate referrals.
Sure, no one will argue whether boundaries are important. What is just as important, especially to a broker or agent, is the ability to point out those boundaries and provide critical insight into how this relates to their clients.
