There has been a lot of buzz surrounding the release of lifestyle search on Enterprise Network members’ sites and we’re proud to announce that it’s finally time to launch our first lifestyle search engine! Through Active Website’s technology and data provided by Onboard Informatics, members now have access to the latest technology revolutionizing our industry.
The first member to adopt this feature is Residential Properties Ltd. Based in Providence, RI, Residential Properties has been serving the Rhode Island Real Estate market for over 30 years and was a great first candidate for the launch of this product. Working closely with Tom Flanagan, Residential’s IT Director and one of our most forward thinking members, we were able to implement a well-polished search engine that will meet the needs of their customers.
Customers visiting ResidentialProperties.com are now able to search for homes that match their unique lifestyle ranging from family-friendly neighborhoods with great schools to communities close to shopping, golfing, night life and more. By ranking criteria most important to them, customers can find their ideal home quicker and more efficiently than ever before. As an early adopter of this new technology, Residential Properties is able to further enrich the user experience and gain yet another advantage over the competition.
So without further adieu, check out the very first lifestyle search engine implemented for The Enterprise Network by visiting Residential Properties at www.residentialproperties.com/lifestyle_search. (more…)

In the Real Estate Industry, it’s all about location, location, location. However, most search options on a real estate website are restricted by parameters set by the MLS boards. To remedy this issue, The Active Enterprise Network has partnered with Onboard Informatics to provide a lifestyle search engine that allows customers to search for homes based on criteria that meets their specific needs. Removing the limitations of only being able to search for homes based on number of beds and baths, square footage and price range, this innovative search tool will allow customers to search for neighborhoods that best match their lifestyle.
From family-friendly areas to homes close to restaurants, bars or highly rated schools, customers are given the option to choose what is most important to them and what is not. With convenience in mind, the lifestyle search engine provides a targeted list of homes that accurately reflect the user’s ideal neighborhood – further enhancing the customer’s online search experience.
This trend towards personalization is revolutionizing the way we think about connecting with our customers. Because 90% of online searches begin online, it’s important to provide top-notch service in order to win a customer’s business. By granting access to highly usable technology not available on a competitor’s site, members are able to increase the likelihood that a customer will buy or sell a home from them in the future. Remaining on the cutting edge of technology, we can move our industry forward by providing the next level of service to our customers through lifestyle search.
