Where’s the Search Box? Bring Back The Search Box!

Good Lord! Change is good Y’all!

What’s our name? CHANGINGstreets.com. Not STAYTHESAME.com! Right? Right! We’re constantly evolving – not just changing WITH the market but AHEAD of the market. The same is true for our website. I get it – you loved our old one. So did we. But it wasn’t working for us anymore. We were limited with what we could do for you and we don’t like limits. Or being told what we can and cannot do for you. The new website gives us more freedom and gives you more services. It’s GOOD I promise!

Here’s the deal – my favorite feature of the old website was being able to simply plug in an address or partial address into the search box and being able to quickly find info on a specific property. Guess what I found out – that was your favorite feature too. Buyers, Realtors, and Loan Officers are all yelling at me. My own family is yelling at me! “I can’t find anything! I miss that search box!”

To them I say, “Hellloooo. It’s right there under your nose.”

So there’s your homepage right? Click ADVANCED SEARCH. In about the middle of that page is a little box that says “address/zip”. Plug in the address and voila! The improvement in this case, new site vs. old, is that NOW in addition to school district and area, you can search by MAP and SUBDIVISION! That’s huge!

I remember one day walking into Target and EVERYTHING was different. I was ticked! I knew Target like the back of my hand and shopped blind folded on auto pilot. The new layout made me think and I hated it. That was years ago and now I love it! I got used to the new arrangement and things make sense to me there. Oh no doubt they will eventually change again and I’ll be irritated all over again. But we will get used to it and understand it in the long run.

So stop yelling at me y’all! If there were no change, you wouldn’t be able to look at a map on our website and see all the houses for sale in a certain area. And you wouldn’t be able to buy milk and refrigerated items at Target.

What do you miss about the old site? What would you change about the new one if you had the chance?
