Miami Beach, FL - A real estate for-sale-by-owner (FSBO) site Fizber.com launches a new feature for home buyers; Fizber’s new service allows homebuyers to check what the climate is like in another town or city all year round before they move there. The following feature was designed to help people avoid potential problems when they move to a new town, city or state and make it easier to enjoy a relaxing, stress free life there.

“Climate information is very important to most buyers, for a variety of reasons,” said Julia Foster, Fizber.com PR manager. “If skiing is your favorite thing to do, you shouldn’t move to Florida, perhaps, and if you hate cold weather, you probably will not enjoy moving to a city in Alaska.

When looking for the best place to live, whether you’re retiring, going to school or looking for a fresh start, it’s a good idea to look at a variety of components that go into creating that ideal place - just for you. Along with a detailed description of each property for sale, Fizber.com visitors can view current and average temperature and climate data for each listing (e.g. http://www.fizber.com/197872).

Weather and climate are the most important factors for homebuyers when it comes time to choose the best place to live. It’s one thing to buy a house in one’s own ZIP code. It’s another to look at homes for sale online. When deciding where to live, think about the kind of activities you enjoy and how much weather will affect those activities. What kind of weather can you expect this time of year? Can you still do gardening there? Now real estate for-sale-by-owner (FSBO) site Fizber.com is making it easy to answer those questions.

“Unfortunately, though, real estate Web sites–both traditional and FSBO–rarely show any information about a neighborhood’s weather or climate. Fizber.com makes it simple to get more information about a community before viewing a home in person. We’re sure these features will save homebuyers time and money.”

Once buyers have found a suitable home for sale and done an initial check of the neighborhood via www.Fizber.com, the site provides resources for next steps, including real estate forms and references for real estate appraisers, mortgage lenders and moving companies. Contacting sellers is simple; Fizber.com lists the owner’s complete contact information at the click of a mouse.

Launched in July, Fizber.com has quickly become the FSBO service of choice for its functionality, innovative marketing solutions and affordable pricing. The company was the first to provide a free FSBO blog to each seller to use as a custom marketing tool, and Fizber.com places its listings in over 70 other FSBO and social network Web sites, allowing sellers to maximize their online exposure–all while saving thousands in real estate broker fees.

But Fizber.com is more than just a FSBO site. The company has a blog for homebuyers and sellers, with such topics as FSBO selling and buying tips, selling by owner vs. through a real estate broker, and questions and answers about buying and selling by owner. Fizber.com has also integrated the best Web 2.0 features, including providing map, satellite or hybrid map/satellite images buyers can use to view a neighborhood on the street level or as a way to search for homes in specific areas.

“A home is the largest, most important purchase most people will ever make,” Foster explained. “Fizber.com is committed to providing the necessary information to make the experience as positive as possible.”

Miami Beach, FL — In response to buyer and seller demand for greater access to better information, top-producing Realtor® Kevin Tomlinson of Esslinger Wooten Maxwell announces the re-launch of www.kevintomlinson.com.

Miami Beach real estate specialist Kevin Tomlinson announces his site re-launch, featuring an innovative, automatic tracking function that monitors changes to the original list prices of condominium properties. I’m putting this information right into the hands of the buyer and seller in a user-friendly way that doesn’t require interaction with me.

“There’s an insatiable need out there for a faster way in to real estate information with more depth and detail. My new site is focused on delivering that,” says Tomlinson.

The revamped site, which hosts more than 225 content-rich pages and in excess of 1,000 listings, has noteworthy new features. The most significant of these is the unprecedented ability to automatically track changes in the original list price of a property once it goes on the market.

Tomlinson’s site promotes about 50 Miami Beach-area condo buildings and more than 400 floor plans, from South Beach to Bal Harbour. Site users can monitor the percentage increase or decrease in the first offering price of every unit for sale.

To Tomlinson’s extensive knowledge, no other real estate site in South Florida–or maybe anywhere–has the same ability. “I’m putting this information right into the hands of the buyer and seller in a user-friendly way that doesn’t require interaction with me.”

A unit for which the original list price has dropped shows the percentage change in red, while a condo for which the sale price has increased is noted in green. Tomlinson predicts it’s going to be a while before the market is totally “seeing green” again, but says his new site can help visitors gauge general trends just by noticing the predominant color on the condo pricing pages.

Other enhanced features of the new site include a real-time MLS search, live condo sales data, extensive listing information with pictures and virtual tours, detailed neighborhood content, and more floor plans. The site employs searchable, interactive Google maps that allow visitors to locate condo buildings as well as important local businesses and community services.

Tomlinson’s site also links to his South Beach Condo Blog, where he posts the latest news about the South Beach-Miami Beach condo market.

“It’s a highly customized, comprehensive online resource that tracks information on luxury condominiums all around Miami Beach and provides unparalleled access to vital Miami real estate data and news,” concludes Tomlinson.
