August 5th, 2009

new-flyer

Yesterday, we rolled out the new version of the PMZ Property Detail Flyer. This update adds several features that our clients have been asking for: the ability to get driving directions to the property, local amenities around subject property and information on local area schools and community organizations.

Driving Directions

driving-directionsJust type in your current location into the box, click ‘Go’ and a new window complete with information about the property, a map and turn-by-turn directions appear.  If you’re a MyPMZ client, we’ve made this even easier by pre-loading your current address automatically into the driving directions box.

Nearby Amenities

nearby-amenities

Now you can view what is around a property you are interested in.  We’ve preloaded 8 buttons that include:  Gas Stations, Restaurants, Grocery Stores, Retail Outlets, Gyms, Libraries, Schools and Movie Theatres. Clicking on any one of those buttons will put place marks on the map with more detailed information.  You can also use the search box on the map to find even more nearby amenities not listed.

School and Area Information

area-informationNow finding nearby schools and city information is easier.  PMZ agents have collected a vast database of city and educational level resources to further assist our clients in making the right move. Links are provided to the organization, city, county and school websites when available.

We hope you enjoy this new enhanced version of our flyer page.  Please let us know in the comments about any thoughts, concerns or suggestions you may have! View a property flyer right now: 2505 Albatross Drive, Modesto, CA 95355.
