Great Site For Real Estate Showings!
CyberStar(r) Carol Pease
I was talking with CyberStar(r) Carol Pease of Keller Williams Realty, Austin, TX, today, wishing her a Happy Birthday. Carol and her husband, Ernie, are two of my favorite people, and it’s always a pleasure talking with her.
Towards the end of our conversation, Carol told me of a site she recently discovered: Driving Route Planner. If you have not yet used it with your buying prospects, give it a try…you’ll be sold on it!
Driving Route Planner will:
- Let you enter up to 8 different addresses for one trip, i.e. 8 different properties for them to view
- Estimate the minutes spent at each stop so that you can calculate the total time of the trip
- Choose between shortest & quickest routes
- Choose the sequence of stops during the trip
- Enter departure time so that you can estimate your arrival time at each stop
- Give you a printout complete with times, miles and carbon footprint for the trip
Carol uses Driving Route Planner all the time, presenting her buyers with a printout of their house tour and finds it to be a valuable free tool for her business. Give it a try and let me know what you think!
It’s a great day here on the lake in Reston…hope it’s a great day wherever you are, too!

I have an MLS program that integrates Microsoft Streets & Trips which has similar functionallity. And it does not require an internet connection. The program feeds all the addresses into S&T. I have used it for cross country trips as well.
We are using it to create the directions and maps for the tours for our national garden railway convention here in Denver in July (www.2009ngrc.com). And fairly easy to use.

I am still an avid fan of Microsoft’s Streets and Trips! Just about wore it out Friday showing 29 foreclosures to our local Habitat affiliate who is renovating foreclosures to put new homeowners in them…I keyed in all the addresses and it will route you as well… even has a GPS that you can stick into your laptop and off you go!
Shows the map with all your listings pinpointed so you can see which ones are closest then use your car GPS or use the software in the laptop to narrate directions… I have used it going through Atlanta with the DOT website open as well to avoid accidents in rush hour when I was on my way home from Raleigh…. AMAZING SOFTWARE!
