About the Realist Map
The Realist Map enhances your searches by allowing you to visually see the results of your search and zoom in to actual views of the property and its surrounding location. Search results appear on the Map as push pins. When you click a push pin, a hover box opens giving you an overview of the property and the ability to zoom in on the Map or run reports.
Interact with map push pins to view initial property overview metrics.

Use the Quick Identify feature to find details on unselected properties.
When you click any area of the Map, Quick Identify will show you the parcel boundary (if boundaries are not on by default) and will also bring up the Property Detail hover box so you can get more information on the property.

Review metrics surface data points inside the Property Detail and Quick Identify hover boxes.
The informational popups capture a complete overview of the selected parcel, featuring the following elements:
- Address: Displays the complete street routing details for the lot.
- Owner: Lists current listed ownership records.
- APN/Folio/Tax ID: Displays public tax classification numbers.
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms: Structural layout totals.
- Last sale date: Historical sales documentation.
- Quick Zoom link: Click this to zoom to a close-up, best view zoom level of the property location.
- View Report link: Click this link to bring up the Report window for the property to view the Property Detail, Comparables, Market Trends, Neighbors, and Neighborhood Profile reports and when available an Assessor Map, property images, and a Foreclosure report.
Leverage the seamless synchronization between Mapped Properties and the Search Results Grid.
The interface updates dynamically in real-time across components: clicking a search result row in the grid automatically pans and zooms the map view to that localized lot. Conversely, choosing an isolated map push pin selects the identical property record row inside your active Search Results Grid view.

Deploy specialized spatial interaction methods to enhance default workflows.
The Realist Map can be used to enhance searches you’ve already completed using My Search, or you may choose to start your search right from the Map. Core workflow examples include:
- Bird's-Eye Analysis: Check out found properties using a bird's-eye view to virtually “walk around” the property boundaries and review external structural conditions.
- Custom Shape Boundaries: Isolate targets within a specific group of streets by drawing an arbitrary shape to perform searches within the perimeter.
- Targeted Mailings: Following a recent localized transaction, use the rectangle tool to box the surrounding neighborhood blocks, trigger a shape search, and instantly generate custom mailing labels.
- Radial Proximity Queries: Find points of interest on the map (such as a school), select it, and use the circle tool to return all criteria-matching properties within an exact 1-mile radius.
