I have a relatively new website myself as it is only 4 months old. ryanwardrealestate.com. The site ranks very well and I feel like I am loosing potential clients because the home search feature I have does not include maps of the properties. The slow load times are exactly why I have not implemented a map feature yet. This is a good article and I will take a look at some of the maps available that may be a little faster to load.

We recently launched the beacham.com site. Beacham and Company is a local Atlanta luxury real estate company and we used the Microsoft Virtual Earth maps and birds-eye view. It\’s been pretty quick in loading and the bird\’s-eye view is pretty amazing. We added AJAX to make the search criteria process more dynamic.

I was frustrated in my own experience in searching for homes on major real estate web sites because I\’d find a property that I liked and had no idea where the street was. We implemented a map view after searching for a property and drilling down to the property details. Additionally generating driving directions.

We\’ve had great feedback so far and I\’d be curious to see what everyone here thought.

I think you make some valid points and one of the things we struggle with at Trulia is how to best serve all of our users. We recently launched some new view types:
1. list + map (default)
2. photos + map
3. list + details
4. map only

These view options can be found on the search results page right above the listings, for example (http://www.trulia.com/CA/San_Francisco/). Check out the list + details and let us know what you think (no map). We also default to your last view type, so if you like it and do another search that is what you will see.

Most of the new sites in real estate have the maps in mash up form. Buying a home is a lot easier when you can see a map of the area, besides if you begin with just a home spec form- the results get displayed but then at that point want to see them on a map anyway. Blueroof.com just started in Utah also and it has a map and I think all of these sites make it easier for buyers.
