Real Estate Mapping, Inc. is a Boston based real estate information service provider. Our
company objective is to bring location analysis and mapping
services to real estate professionals. We do this by utilizing
GIS technologies. Geography Information Systems (GIS) is a field
of computer science that couples data management systems with
computer mapping and digital cartography. The use of GIS in real
estate is a logical application of the technology and is
beginning to be seen as a necessary tool in understanding the
complexities of real estate market statistics.
GIS in Real Estate Our focus in this area of technology provides users with the most
sophisticated and detailed level of computer mapping. This
includes parcel leveling geography or the mapping of individual
property lines complete with building footprints and accurate
street widths. The utilization of GIS lies in the understanding,
that the digital map is more than simply a visualization tool.
By selecting elements from the geography, users can retrieve
valuable information associated to the individual geographic
features. For example, by selecting an individual property on
the digital map, users can find the owner’s name and address,
the assessed property value, the interior square footage of the
building, the price of the most recent sale,
and so on. This method of
accessing and retrieving data is significantly more user
friendly and intuitive than the traditional method of reviewing
and searching data provided in long and difficult to read
listings.
Commitment to Data Accuracy Through our efforts to better understand the market
and the needs of real estate professionals, we
discovered a significant
lapse in the availability of accurate, timely
and relevant data. For this reason, we have made
the collection and processing of accurate
and current data our predominant focus. We combine data from
multiple public information sources. A few of these include: municipal parcel geography, municipal assessing data,
municipal zoning data, US Census Bureau data, county level
registry of deeds data, etc. We provide weekly data updates of
sales transaction information and other regular data updates
delivered to users through our Internet applications.
Real Estate Analysis Tools Another key area in which
we devote specific attention is in the development of
application programs. This is how we make data available and useful
to real estate industry professionals. As described above we
devote significant effort to the collection, clean up and
maintenance of our data, but we realize that for the data to be
truly useful it must be easily and quickly accessible and it
must be delivered in a manner that simplifies the existing
duties of the industry professionals.
Typically, this
involves the development of custom applications for the
industry disciplines that we serve. For example, we have an
array of tools that are custom designed for use by real estate
sales agents and agency offices. This set of tools includes
functions that deliver agent specific comparable market
analysis (CMA) reports. We are constantly expanding our industry
applications. Please browse our site for
more details on the other specific real estate application tools that
we provide.
Customer Attention Real Estate Mapping, Inc.
has evolved from the work of a small group of information
technology consultants with a focused background in GIS.
We have worked
for many businesses creating custom
applications and collecting and consolidating data. From this work
in location based technologies, we have gained an intricate knowledge of the real
estate industry.
As a small company working
with individual clients, we have also come to
know and understand real estate
professionals. We
clearly saw
the requirement for collecting and
integrating accurate data. Also as
importantly, we saw the need and benefits of
accessing this data through applications
that are cost effective and useful.
We strive to maintain this close relationship with our
customers as we expand and add new products
in broader markets. We hope to continue
to develop and implement custom applications for our clients and
will do so with the attentive care and pride in customer satisfaction
that you would expect from a private technical consultant.
