New Look. New Rules.

Today marks a new chapter in AustinHomeListings.com’s history.  Great Austin Properties, an Austin residential real estate company, created AustinHomeListings.com to provide users with the easiest to use Austin home search tool for finding properties and reviewing neighborhoods.  You’ve probably noticed that we’ve made some changes to the site today in terms of appearance and functionality. In addition to the new site look and feel, we are now asking all visitors to create a free personal profile in exchange for access to the listings data. By registering you will also benefit from the following free tools:

1. Favorites Folder - This tool allows you to save listings to your “Favorites Folder” so you can conveniently manage and view your favorite listings at any time.  When you find a listing that you would like to add to your Favorites Folder, click the “Add to Favorites” link in the Tools box. Once you’re logged in, you can manage your Favorites (add, remove, view, email, etc.) without having to reenter your login information. Additionally, you can recall your Favorite Listings from any page using the “Favorites” tab at the top of the page.

2. Search Saver - This tool allows you to save searches to your “SearchSaver” folder so you can conveniently manage and view your searches at any time and receive email notification when new listings that fit your search criteria become available. When you run a search that you would like to add to your “SearchSaver” click the tab located on the top of the page that says “Email me when new listings match this criteria”. Once you’re logged in, you can manage your “SearchSaver” (add, remove, view, email, etc.) without having to reenter your login information.  Once you run an initial search, you may opt to refine your search. This will narrow your search results to fit your new criteria, such as price range, minimum square footage and more. Anytime you receive search results, you will have the option to “Save This Search” and receive an email notification when new listings that fit your search become available.

Thank you for using Austin Homes Listings. If you have any questions or thoughts about our new data access policy, please feel free to call me direct at 512-600-1800 or post a comment below.  I’ll be happy to answer all your questions. Rest assured, Great Austin Properties will NEVER sell, rent or release your personal information outside of our company.

Lakeway TX Neighborhoods

September 22, 2008 on 2:46 pm | In Austin Home Listings News | No Comments

Lakeway, Texas is a growing city just northwest of Austin. Once known as a lakeside retirement community, Lakeway is now home to a number of young families. Thanks to its close proximity to Austin, the great schools in the Lake Travis School District, growth of business in the area (nearby shopping in Bee Cave, TX at the Hill Country Galleria, new banks, new retail in Lakeway proper), and the variety of outdoor recreation in the area, families are flocking to Lakeway.

If you are considering a move to a Lakeway Texas neighborhood or just want to learn more about the area, be sure to read about our Lakway neighborhoods in our Austin Neighboroods Guide. We’ve just added five Lakeway TX neighborhoods to our website: The Preserve at Lakeway, The Courtyard at the Preserve, The Terrace at the PreserveThe Canyons at Cardinal Hills, and Yaupon Creek - and we plan to add more soon - so keep checking back.

To learn more about the Lakeway area or to see Lakeway Texas Real Estate, please call your Lakeway area experts at Great Austin Properties. You can reach us at 512.600.1800 or email us. Or search Lakeway Homes for Sale.
