Searching for that perfect home on the SC Property Pros site just got even easier.  If you are reading this on-site, look up at the top and you'll see a new toolbar, which has many useful tools for searching for property.  Now take a look at the search function on the bar-its advanced!  When you enter any sort of address name, subdivision, property class, area, etc., it will automatically search the entire SC Property Pros website for that term, including the entire SC MLS.

Whoa...now that's powerful!  Other functions on the toolbar are pretty cool as well.  The facebook icon will open our facebook fan page right on top of the screen and the same with twitter icon.  Play around with it...

The short answer is Yes.  The long answer is No, not really.

Yes.

We've separated them in such a way that you will be able to see just how connected that they truly are. Just look around you (if you are reading this on site)- we admit it, we were biting off a little more than we could chew when we first began building the SC Property Pros site. Thinking about creating a site which has dedicated MLS search and real estate information packaged together with a full fledged construction company and inspections business is like trying to sell lemon trees at a lemonade stand.

Coming up with the next so-called "Google Killer" may seem an impossible task at the moment, unless of course you are already walking around your house shouting search queries into thin air and actually obtaining results.

Introducing Microsoft's Street Slide-a Possible Google Killer

Briefly, let's talk about what a Google Killer is.  A Google Killer is somewhat of a mythical tool, like He-Man's sword or the magic that seems to reside in Donald Trump's hair.  Its definitely not the Wolfram Alpha search engi...

We originally posted this information on maps of parks in the Charleston area over on the unRealtor blog, which is now 100% devoted to construction and inspection related topics and tips.  With that said, this blog will from here on out will be focused on Charleston area real estate topics.

As we all know, finding the perfect home is no walk in the park.  Finding a "perfect home" in your budget is even more of a challenge!  Luckily, Trulia has given us another great tool for tracking home prices via a nifty heat map that zooooms (found via Google Maps Mania).  

Track Home Prices Anywhere in United States

Trulia uses Google Maps to give users a quick view of the average listing price in every U.S. state. The tabs at the top of the map allow the user to switch between heat maps of the average listing price, the median sales price and Trulia popularity.

If you click on any of the states you can view the total number of homes for sale in the state and the average listing pric...
