Shack Prices launches new Seattle area real estate search site and brokerage

Picture

ShackPrices, a long-promised real estate search website, has debuted in the Pacific Northwest as a brokerage licensed with the state and a member of the Northwest Multiple Listing Service.

ShackPrices is a Google maps-based real estate search site that augments each real estate listing with data about what is nearby, including the distances to nearby landmarks, nearby schools and nearby bus stops. It also attempts to help home buyers learn about cities and neighborhoods through reviews, statistics and photos. Home buyers can search for shacks (shabby to chic) across all of Western Washington.

Other features that differentiate ShackPrices.com from other real estate website searches, include information about what is nearby every listing and Suggested Shacks, which predicts houses home buyers might be interested in if they like any of the 20,000+ houses for sale that come up in their search.

Being a brokerage, the company will make money by referring buyers and sellers to agents who will then pay them a percentage of any commissions earned by the purchase or sale of a property.

Wow! What a cool site. It took me a second to figure out that if I clicked on the icon all kinds small pictures popped up and then you can scroll left to right through all the pictures.
