Maxsell Real Estate serves the I-575 Corridor of Northwest Atlanta, including Cobb, Cherokee, Pickens and Gilmer counties. We are active in many sectors of the real estate industry including residential, commercial, industrial and land brokerage. From office buildings to shopping centers to industrial warehouses, from single lots to large undeveloped tracts, and from first-time homebuyers to executive housing Maxsell Real Estate possesses a unique combination of talent and expertise.
Our new website http://maxsell.net offers an engaging user experience that is easy to use and loaded with useful information and tools. www.maxsell.net uses WordPress for the infrastructure of the site and third party vendors such as iHomefinder.com and LoopNet.com provide quality data services and MLS searches. The guys (Jim & Jason) over at Real Estate Tomato helped with the design and thanks are owed to Greg Swann at BloodhoundBlog for encouraging me to create a WordPress real estate site to begin with.
1. Quick Search: Users can search for properties immediately from most every page on the site by using our new Quick Search feature located in the sidebar. We also offer a detailed “search” feature.
2. Property Organizer: Users can save their search criteria and be automatically emailed the moment a new listing hits the market that meets their saved search criteria. Users can also login from anywhere to review, revise or delete their saved searches via the property organizer.
3. Blog: Users can now stay up to date on our local real estate market by subscribing to our blog feed. Our Maxsell agents will be posting local events, restaurant reviews, real estate market insight, buyer and seller tips, technology tools and general information that will prove invaluable to anyone wanting honest information about the I-575 real estate corridor of Northwest Atlanta.
4. Tools: Users now have free access to Mortgage Calculators, How Much can I afford Calculators and valuable commercial real estate tools such as Traffic Counts.
5. Knowledge: Users will benefit most from the knowledge shared openly and freely from our real estate experts. At Maxsell Real Estate we believe Knowledge is Power and we believe sharing our market knowledge empowers everyone to make better decisions and obtain better results. The blog, buy, sell and learn links all provide valuable knowledge to anyone who visits www.maxsell.net.
We are now redirecting all traffic from www.maxsellrealestate.com to www.maxsell.net.
Please update all of your links to point to http://maxsell.net

I recently stumbled across a great video over at the Harper Team blog about how technology is changing our world. It reminds me of one of the best books I have ever read: The World is Flat.

MyTechOpinion.com recently covered HouseFront’s offering by stating…
"I found the HouseFront service easy to use and it provided a quick turnaround of property information. With today’s younger consumers and real estate agents growing up with text messaging this type of technology is sure to be a part of tomorrow’s core essentials. I’m also interested to see how real estate agents who walk their geographic farm area will start using HouseFront and similar tools to access information as they need it!"
Most real estate agents in Metro Atlanta use Realist to obtain tax records and general property info. It is a great place to start researching property you intend to list or sell. Now the same information found on Realist can be obtained from your cell phone using HouseFront. Here is what they have to say about their product…
"At HouseFront, we’re taking the power of text messaging and applying it to real estate. We’re bringing accurate, immediate, easy residential real estate values directly to your mobile phone. And, with our extensive databases, we compile accurate value estimates as well as specific property details for over 75 million U.S. homes. Imagine the possibilities!
Whether you’re a home buyer or seller, real estate professional, or just plain curious about real estate, we’ve got a great addition to your mobile contact list.
Incredibly simple — all you have to do is text the address of any home (ie: 123 Main St., San Francisco, CA) to HOUSE (46783) and in just seconds you’ll know the scoop on that great mansion in the city or the cozy cottage next door, all for FREE!
You’ll get all this info about the address you text to us:
- Estimated Value (that house is worth what?!)
- Number of Bedrooms (where will Aunt Irma sleep?)
- Number of Bathrooms (less sibling fights?)
- Square Footage (yep, enough room for the pool table too)
- Lot Size (Man’s Best Friend will appreciate it)
- Year Built (Do more creaks in the floor mean more ‘character?’)
So what are you waiting for? Try it right now…
Plus, all of your previous address texts will be saved on our website under your mobile phone number. So feel free to take your cell for a walk around the block and then check out all the houses again from home on our website, where they’ll be patiently waiting for you – neatly displayed on one page. It’s that easy.
Dying to know more? You can access detailed info, including comparables pulled to derive values, transaction history, and interactive maps all on our website at www.HouseFront.com."
