Why would a land developer or their sales representative utilize a MyLotStore Interactive Plat Map in their existing website and Facebook page?

Let's assume a potential lot buyer finds your website or Facebook page. Whether it is a:

• Future homeowner
• Builder looking on that homeowner's behalf or looking for a spec home lot
• Draftsman, Appraiser, Banker, Surveyor or Excavator seeking details needed to perform their job (wouldn't be great if they could get engineering details on their own?)

What are the answers to the following questions?

• What information is available?
• How easy is it to search for lots on your website/Facebook page?
• Is your lot information/availability up-to-date?
• Is it easy to update?
• Is searching intuitive and interactive?
• Does it allow quick and visual drill down search interactivity?
• Can you easily guide a lot shopper around your website/Facebook page when they are looking at a screen at home?
• How about when they are in their car in your development looking at their smartphone or connected device?

If you were to be totally honest, you might admit there is a tendency to get too close to your own product and website promoting it. It might make sense to you on your website because you know it, see it and live it everyday. That typically isn't the case for a potential buyer.

In this day and age of online interactivity there tends to be a desire to research before contacting a human. That means they probably won't call for help navigating your website. If this is the case, it may behoove you to rate your website and Facebook page's ability to offer the information they seek.

How does searching for lots at MyLotStore benefit builders? They are often asked by potential clients "What lots do you have available?" In many case builders don't carry more than a few lots in inventory, if any.

If a builder doesn't own the right lot or any lots, they typically still want to build homes for potential clients. In these situations builders, like homeowners, resort to looking at each individual developer's website for lots. This can be a challenge (see developer section)...until now!

All lots placed in a developer's custom interactive plat map roll up to www.mylotstore.com. That means if every developer in a builder's trade area is a MyLotStore customer, a builder can search all developments by price, type and size. Moreover they have all the engineering detail the developer uploads to their interactive plat map.

So, when a potential custom home client asks a builder "What lots do you have available?" the builder can show lots across all developments in a uniform, easy to use MyLotStore Interactive Plat Map. Life should be so good.

If you are a builder that does purchase and hold prime lots to offer future custom home clients MyLotStore is your best friend. You too can place your inventory on MyLotStore the same way a developer does for the entire world to find.

Like a developer you can embed a custom MyLotStore Interactive Plat Map that showcases just your lots in your website and Facebook page. This strategy will give you an edge in a competitive custom home market.

You will be pleasantly surprised at our low subscription fees. You will be especially pleased when compare your MyLotStore subscription fee to traditional print and online advertising rates. However, a MyLotStore Interactive Plat Map isn't a replacement for your marketing efforts.

Stay the course with your marketing efforts that drive buyers to your website and Facebook page. Once there your MyLotStore Interactive Plat Map will greatly enhance you future client's lot search experience.

Realtors, why would you want to utilize a MyLotStore website/Facebook embeddable Interactive Plat Map in addition to listing lot(s) on your local MLS and affiliate feeds?

• Many MLS vendors don't place much emphasis on making lot shopping a great online interactive experience.
• Most IDX/RETS linked residential lot search criteria include: number of bedrooms, bathrooms and garage spaces.
• Most IDX/RETS linked residential lot searches don't allow quick, visual and interactive filtering by neighborhood/development, price, type and size of lot.
• We are not aware of any IDX/RETS linked residential lot searches that geo locate YOU in an interactive plat map within a neighborhood/development when using a connected device while in a sea of lots.
• Many IDX/RETS linked residential lot searches don't allow you to grab a lot specific link you can email/text to a client that when clicked/tapped puts them on the same MyLotStore Interactive Plat Map as you! (Bye-bye frustration. Hello lot knowledgeable Realtor).
• Many IDX/RETS linked residential lot searches are not document rich. Covenants, plat maps, dimensions, gradient/elevations all at your fingertips. Get your questions answered now vs. waiting for the developer to email you the aforementioned documents.

The all too familiar lot shopping issues stated above are painful enough when lots ARE listed on MLS. In many cases residential land developers sell their lots themselves or require exclusivity/no MLS with a Realtor.

While we wish all lots were on MLS AND used a MyLotStore Interactive Plat Map, we know that will never happen. Why not convince your local lot developers to implement a MyLotStore Inactive Plat Map? Who knows, maybe your recommendation will earn you a listing.

Remember, even if you have only one lot listing, it can be posted to MyLotStore. Get found where people are looking for lots.
