Client Journey
As Homefacts Site is mostly depends on data, Homefacts team together came up with the plan of adding one of the functionality and major change has been incorporated within HomeFacts when it introduces ‘HomeAlerts functionality.
HomeAlerts functionality facilitate the user by sending free alert e-mails which notify about changes in neighborhood that could impact safety and the value of home, including changes in home value and nearby criminal offenders.
Team also came up with the plan of adding Google Maps, Bing Maps, Google Street View (Panorama and Static), Aerial Map View, and Birds Eye Map for all properties. In addition to this, there were multiple more things to be implemented.
There were a few confinements in Old website, another major was Search, as Search result were not that precise. After proper planning, search flow has been changed which provides precise search results for Full address Search, Partial address search, City, County, State and ZIP.
There are 30 different modules on Homefacts showing properties as well as neighborhood data. Data and design of modules are evolved over the period of the time. As per changing requirements of clients, business team focuses on updating of latest data and restructuring the design of modules and these changes get incorporated with Homefacts successfully.
