EUGENE, ORE. – Karen Gaskill with Thorpe Sotheby's International Realty has opted to conjoin with the constantly expanding database of elite rank real estate professionals choosing to incorporate a custom IDX solution into the search function of their websites, providing home seekers with a much more organized, simple and user-friendly online property search experience. Courtesy of this unique IDX Broker software's relationship with Multiple Listing Service (MLS) systems, Gaskill is able to display an infinite amount of the most current and up-to-date property listings, coming directly from the Indian River MLS (IRMLS), onto her site, enabling prospective home buyers in Vero Beach, Florida and its surrounding areas, to find the home of their dreams in the most efficient and hassle-free manner possible.

Gaskill has the ability to decipher which search functionalities will be displayed throughout her website, to best fit both her and her clients wants and needs, in which she has opted to include a basic, an advanced, a map, an address and an MLS listing ID search. The most unique of the search options is the map search. Powered by Google Maps, the map search allows potential home buyers to pinpoint their desired proeprty on an interactive road, satellite or terrain map. Then may then apply this information in judging their closeness to nearby main roads, landmarks, school districts, parks, convenience locations and other cities, to determine if this is truly a neighborhod they could envision themselves residing.

Via her own personal administrative login, Gaskill is given complete control over each and every aspect and detail concerning her website and her online real estate business as a whole. Not only does she have the ability to edit the look, layout, design and format of her site, distributing her own sense of unique brand and personalization throughout of her web pages, but she also has access to helpful utilities, such as: mortgage calculators, daily MLS updates, coming directly from the iRMLS, lead management tools and detailed traffic reporting and statistics, aiding her in managing her online real estate business in the most efficient manner possible.
