The Ties That Bind: Work and Home, How Far Do You Drive to Work Every Day?
FSBO Website Fizber.com launched a Job Score service which allows home hunters find their dream house close to their workplace.
Miami Beach, FL (PRWEB) December 5, 2007 - Fizber.com, a website that details residential real estate listings across the country, announces the addition of a Job Score to their FSBO home listings. Similar to a Drive Score, Job Score shows how far it's from your home to your workplace and calculates a Job Score based on the data. This option will enable home buyers make searches with much more confidence.
Jobs-housing "balance" is, apparently, high on most people's agenda. Smart buyers start their home search by checking out potential neighborhoods. Commuting times (e.g., to a workplace) is an important factor to consider when shopping for a home. Before buyers begin looking at homes, they make a list of their priorities - things like location and proximity to their job are usually at the top of the list. Job Score helps house hunters find a home close to their work thus reducing commuting lengths and times.
"Since the location of a house that buyers choose to live in affects the distances they need to travel in order to go to work, to the shops or to take children to school, we added Job Score to each property listing on our website," said Julia Foster, Vice President of Marketing, Fizber.com.
According to Julia Foster:
| | - Job Score calculates the distance between a house and a workplace in miles and minutes.
- Job Score offers driving directions and a detailed map of your journey from home to work.
- Job Score shows statistics on employment and unemployment data for a given state.
- Job Score allows potential buyers to find out about salaries by a job function in a particular state.

"Job Score is a great tool for your house-hunting needs," says Barbara K., a home buyer from Miami, FL. "I used the tool to find a home close to my work, and was able to find a perfect house in 2.5 mi (about 8 mins) from my workplace! My house has a perfect Job Score."
"I was working about 1 hour away from home so we decided to find a new home closer (15-20min to work) using the Job Score tool while browsing property listings on Fizber.com", comments another house hunter Andie P. from LA, CA. "Best thing I ever did. More family time… So worth it."
