HomesDatabase.com, the top consumer real estate site in our market, has gotten even better! MRIS, the largest multiple listing service (MLS) in the country, which serves real estate professionals in Maryland, D.C., Northern Virginia and parts of West Virginia and Pennsylvania, has rebuilt its online real estate website from the ground up. Their mission: To provide you, the consumer, the most compelling, accurate, and complete information about real estate for sale and rent in the Mid-Atlantic region. Search over 100,000 properties of all varieties – condos, colonials, cottages, contemporaries and estates – listed by more than 5,500 local brokerage firms.

The new HomesDatabase.com makes searching for real estate what it should be – a straightforward, intuitive and simple search, free of annoying and distracting advertising and pop-up ads. What you get is plain and simple, just the most accurate and timely real estate information directly from the source used by local real estate professionals, MRIS the area’s MLS. Featured is the entire inventory of residential sales and rentals, lot-land, and multifamily listings as well as all the weekly Open Houses straight from the area’s local brokerages. Listings are enhanced with up to 30 photos, virtual tours, school reports and SAT scores, community information and demographics. Most properties also include a listing of comparable sold properties from the local public records.

You can search “anonymously” without having to register on the website. But to take advantage of some of the site’s special features, such as auto-email alerts when new listings become available, you simply provide an email address to begin your “Saved Favorites” folder. Once you’ve registered and saved properties to your folder, you can email your favorites to friends, spouses, or even your real estate professional! You can also create tours and get driving directions using Microsoft’s powerful Virtual Earth platform.

But what you won’t see is just as important! You won’t see ads for competing products and services or pop-up ads that distract from your housing search. What you won’t find are hidden business agendas, venture investors with click through business models, or spam mail. The site was designed to give you access to the most comprehensive database of real estate listings for sale AND to make it easy for you to contact the real estate professionals, brokers and agents, when you’re ready to find out more about any particular listing.

When you arrive at HomesDatabase.com, you will be treated to an experience like none other. New technologies which allow you to look for homes using simple, common sense descriptions and keywords, maps, aerials, driving directions and compelling photo displays will put the site head and shoulders above the competition.
