This is the map I created by copying and pasting together 90 pages from my map book. It is about four feet by 8 feet.
I have it hanging in my office right in front of my computer. It so easy to plan a home search strategy when you have a nice map like that.
There are some great online maps too that I refer to a lot. Cobb county has some really nice school district maps and many counties have nice online zoning and land use maps. Eventually I’ll get those printed out and hung up some where too.
My map also serves as my battle plan. All those different colored pins represent the subdivisions that I’m working on for my subdivision database. Eventually I want to have information and pictures about all the major subdivisons around metro Atlanta. I’m putting together a network of agents who each will specialize in a small group of neighborhoods. That way you’ll be able to hook up with an agent who really knows the neighborhoods that you are interested in.
Remember, a map is worth a thousand words.
What's happening in the Atlanta real estate market? I'll tell you my humble opinion on things going on in my small part of the world. I'll let you know details about the subdivisions that I specialize in and details about the really nice homes that come on the market.

Microsoft streets and trips helps me out. You can mark your own points of interest and make notes. It’s great for tracking fsbo’s etc..
The visual of having that big map like you do is hard to ignore. I’m not sure I have a wall big enough or more importantly on my wife would let me plaster a big map on.
