Have you visited www.thegarnergroup.com lately? We've redesigned and relaunched with your needs in mind - it makes finding just the right property in Bend, Oregon even more simple. The site is built around an informative and user-friendly search module that makes it easy for viewers to locate and map all property for sale in Central Oregon.
You'll recognize the familiar slide show of local
scenic views and events on the home page, but the Quick Search feature is brand new! Couple that with the new large buttons that connect to an advanced search, open houses, agentinformation and pages containing builder profiles and information on greenbuilding, and you have a website worth visiting! You can even sign up to receive an email message when new listings
come on the market that meet your specified criteria.
As if that's not enough, you can also navigate to information about market trends,
local information including an active weather report, buying and selling tips
and The Garner Group’s newsletter and blog.
The search mechanism sweeps listing information from the CentralOregon Multiple Listing Service and allows you to choose criteria that
will narrow the search to properties of interest. Selections display in list
form or on an interactive map using Bing mapping technology. You may
choose to show points of interest including schools, health care facilities and
shopping venues.
“There has been a fundamental change in the way people use real
estate web sites,” observed Sandy Garner, the Bend, Oregon real estate company’s president
and CEO. “When our most recent site was designed, emphasis was placed on
creating an attractive billboard for your business. We achieved that with some
pretty advanced graphics for the time.
“Now, site visitors have made it clear that their number one
priority is information about all listings in the area, To be competitive, you
have to provide one-stop shopping. It’s not enough just to feature your own
listings,” Garner said.
While the previous provided an MLS search, “it was pretty primitive
compared with the new technology we have in place now,” Garner said. “People
are a lot more tech-savvy.” The site is compatible with mobile devices,
offering a simplified display that makes it easy to search and find property on
the go.
The new site is hosted by Lone Wolf Real Estate Technologies
Inc., a company that serves over 9,000 real estate offices in the United States
and Canada with software for a variety of business functions including back
office accounting, transaction and contact management, lead tracking, data
storage, information sharing and web site development.

several years,” Garner said. “They specialize exclusively in real estate and
understand our business.”
