At AcreValue, we constantly strive to improve our platform and offer tools that meet the specific needs of our diverse user base. We’re excited to introduce our latest feature, search by radius, which enhances your property search experience by allowing you to define a specific radius and center point on the map.
This powerful tool returns all properties or sale records within the specified area, making it easier than ever to find exactly what you're looking for. Whether you're a farmer, property owner, realtor, or commercial developer, this feature offers tailored solutions to streamline your research and decision-making process.
Why Search by Radius is a Game-Changer
The search by radius feature offers unparalleled precision and convenience for users who need detailed, location-specific information. Here’s why this new feature is incredibly beneficial:
- Targeted Searches: Focus your search on a specific geographic area to find relevant properties or sales.
- Customizable: Adjust the radius and center point to fit your exact requirements.
- Efficient: Combine with other search criteria such as soil quality, crop history, and ownership details for highly refined results.
How Different Users Can Benefit from the Search by Radius Feature
Farmers
Farmers often look for land within a manageable distance from their home property to minimize the challenges of transporting heavy equipment. With the Search by Radius feature, farmers can set their home property as the center point and define a radius that aligns with their logistical preferences. For instance, if a farmer wants to find land within a 20-mile radius of their home, this feature will quickly identify all relevant properties within that area, saving time and effort.
Property Owners and Realtors
For property owners and realtors, proximity to certain areas can be crucial for marketing and sales strategies. Imagine a realtor wanting to advertise a new property listing to nearby residents. By using the Search by Radius feature, they can set the center point at the property’s location and define a radius that covers the neighboring areas. This allows them to identify and reach out to potential buyers who are most likely to be interested.
Commercial and Energy Developers
Commercial developers and energy developers often need to find properties near specific infrastructure like electrical transmission lines or substations. For example, an energy developer can use the Search by Radius feature to set the center point near a substation and define a radius that covers the surrounding area. This helps identify properties suitable for development within the desired proximity to critical infrastructure.
