Heat maps - what are they and why to use them?

In this internet technology era customer service has been brought to a new level and not reaching that level dooms.

When it comes to real estate heat maps are the feature that pretty few companies offer to potential clients' view. The advantage of heat maps is that they will help you focus your attention on the locations of your desired area with least crime level, most schools, population of immigrants or locals, the safest climate, etc. And of course we know that any buyer will seek the homes in the safest and most convenient locations. To help find the best location there are heat maps. That's what there is this really helpful website, www.movety.com. Compared to other MLS listings' search engines, it offers heat map view of any particular area in the Greater Vancouver area. Those can be found by viewing properties "by map".

This is one example of a heat map depicting with green where the area with the least crime level is.

Everyone has heard stories of people who buy homes in what they think is a safe neighborhood, only to find out there are serious problems, such as drugs, high crime rates and schools that are less than desirable for their children. Worried about moving next door to a drug house? With the latest data from Stats Can and the BC RCMP, homebuyers will know the crime rates in any neighborhood, as it relates to drugs, break-ins, and more.

The website works to eliminate those problems. Now, people can see exactly what is going on in their desired neighborhood.

One very big concern for parents is schools. They may find their dream home in a particular neighborhood but if the school within the catchment is not desirable, this could deter parents from buying. Only on Movety you can find 655 Lower Mainland public schools with service (catchment) areas PLUS all private schools. The website has a very comprehensive rating system using same source data as Fraser Institute so parents can rest assured that they are getting the most accurate data possible. Homebuyers now can search for properties by desired school catchment area. People just need to click on the heat map and find everything they need to know about the school that their children would potentially go to. Please see the listings filtered by the good school catchments area below

Daycares information can also be found, with ratings and recent inspection data from Fraser Health . A list of licensed daycare facilities is available for all neighbourhoods in the lower mainland area.

As we can see, the more modern features are involved the more effective client's search will turn out and the more clients flow to companies.

Isn't this tool just amazing?!
