Nearly five years ago, entrepreneuer and http://76realty.com owner/broker Mike Cooper commissioned me to lead the web development project that you’re looking at now.

Cooper’s intention was to bring best of breed technology to the consumer. At the time Geographic Information Systems (GIS) web integration was in its infancy.

It was clear that integrating geo-location data into web applications promised Internet users would have greater access to real world data.

The project involved a team of local and overseas participants. It required the work of web developers, engineers and business professionals.

Since the project’s conception much has changed. Both Google, Yahoo and a host of web companies have invested millions of dollars into developing real estate technology.

And though seemingly hundreds of companies have now integrated mapping into their display of Multi-List-Service (MLS) data, few made new contributions to the way real estate is displayed on the Internet.

A few months ago, 76Realty.com broker Mike Cooper asked for my assistance to revamp and assist in marketing the website we created together many years ago.

As the website was ported to new servers and a new engineering team was deployed to create a new site - we discovered something. The 76realty.com website remained best of breed. After a month working with a team in California (we choose to employ domestic engineering talent this time) we realized that most of the hard work had already been accomplished.

Our competitors never advanced the offering, in fact, our competitors never really caught up. We decided to stop the project and help our customers understand the tools and give them an opportunity to make requests before we move to the next phase of developing best of breed tools for our customers.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be discussing and demonstrating our unique custom search technology. While most companies now provide access to the MLS listings, there aren’t any companies in the area that integrate data not found in the standard listings.

We’re still the only company in the Branson Real Estate market that offers the offender database overlay with real estate listings. This may be unpopular to some, but, we believe that an informed buyer is a satisfied buyer.

We’ll be tracking segments of the real estate market and evaluate market trends. Feel free to contact us with concerns or information you think is valuable as you navigate the real estate market.

There are unique properties and tools on this website that aren’t available anywhere else online. In fact, we have listings that aren’t in the MLS and aren’t available anywhere else on the web.

We have services available on this website that other real estate brokers and agents use to evaluate and understand the market.

Whether you’re planning on buying now or just want to see whats on the market, We’re here to help by web or phone. All feedback is appreciated, 76realty.com is the Branson Area Real Estate investors choice and we want to keep it that way
