RadiusMapperReal Estate Route Planner
Plan the optimal real estate showing route
Multi-stop driving order, computed in seconds
Drop in up to 12 property addresses (11 in round-trip mode) and RadiusMapper finds the most efficient driving order across every stop. Built for realtors planning a day of showings, house hunters mapping out an open-house weekend, and relocation services building tours for incoming clients.
Real estate showing route map
What is a real estate route optimization?
Multi-stop routing that takes a list of property addresses and computes the most efficient driving order across every showing — typically saving 15–30% of total drive time vs. visiting in list order.
- Up to 12 addresses per route (11 in round-trip mode), with the first stop locked as the origin so your office stays the start.
- Real traveling-salesperson optimization on the road network — not as-the-crow-flies distance.
- Optional 'return to start' for loop tours and open-house weekends; turn it off for one-way trips.
- Bulk paste mode accepts one address per line for fast import from MLS or buyer's-tour spreadsheets.
- Every route generates a short shareable /route/<id> URL — send to a buyer or coworker without an account.
The planner does not pull live traffic — driving times are typical-traffic estimates. Build a small buffer per stop on heavy-traffic days.
Built for the realtor showing-day workflow
Realtors planning a day of showings
Paste the day's MLS addresses, lock your office as the start, and get a drive-optimized tour you can send to clients in advance. Saves 30–60 minutes on a typical 6-stop showing day.
Open-house weekend planning
Hit more open houses by visiting them in driving order, not listing order. Drop in every address you want to see, turn on Return to start for a loop, and the planner orders the stops to minimize zig-zags.
Relocation tours
Build a property tour for an out-of-town buyer with the stops a relo client actually cares about — neighborhood viewings, schools, commute anchor — visited in the most time-efficient order.
How to plan an optimal real estate viewing route
Drop in your addresses
Add up to 12 property addresses (11 with round-trip enabled) one by one, or paste a line-separated list in the bulk paste tab. The planner geocodes each one and places it on the map.
Set start and return options
The first address is locked as the origin. Toggle 'Return to start' if you want a loop tour, or leave it off for a one-way trip ending at the last property.
Optimize and share
Click Optimize route. The planner reorders the stops with a traveling-salesperson solver and renders the driving route. Copy the share link to send the tour to your client.
Real estate route planner vs Google My Maps
Google My Maps shows pins, not order
My Maps lets you drop pins for each property, but it doesn't compute the optimal driving order across them. You either tour them in the order you added them, or you eyeball the map and guess. On a 6+ stop day, that costs real time.
RadiusMapper solves the order
The planner sends every coordinate to a real traveling-salesperson solver and returns the shortest visit order on the road network. The result is a single map and itinerary you can send to a buyer in one link.

How the real estate route planner works
Enter a starting point — typically your office, your home, or your first showing — followed by every property you plan to visit. Up to 12 addresses one-way, or 11 in round-trip mode (the loop adds one stop back to the origin). You can type each address one by one with autocomplete, or paste a line-separated list and let the planner geocode the whole batch.
When you click Optimize, every coordinate is sent to a traveling-salesperson solver running over the road network. It finds the shortest sequence of driving legs that visits every stop exactly once, accounting for one-way streets, freeway access, and typical traffic. The first address stays locked as the origin so your office is always the start; if you turn on Return to start, the route ends back at the origin for a loop tour.
The result is the actual driving route between properties, plus per-leg distance and duration. The map renders the route on a clean interactive base layer, with numbered markers for each property in visit order. The left rail shows the optimized itinerary, drive-leg-by-drive-leg, so you know exactly how long each hop will take.
Every successful optimization gets a short, shareable URL — typically /route/<id> once the itinerary is persisted on the server, with a query-string fallback if persistence is unavailable. Click Copy share link and send the URL to a buyer or coworker — they'll see the same map and stop list with no signup or app to install.
Real Estate Route Planner FAQs
How many properties can I plan in one route?
Up to 12 addresses one-way, or 11 in round-trip mode — the loop reserves one slot for the return back to your origin. That covers a typical realtor showing day (4–8 properties) and most open-house weekend tours. For a longer route, split the day into a morning and afternoon route.
Does the optimizer always start at my office?
Yes — the first address is locked as the origin so your starting point doesn't move during optimization. If you turn on Return to start, the optimizer also locks the final stop back to your origin for a loop tour.
Can I share the route with a client?
Yes. Every optimized route gets a short shareable /route/<id> URL pointing at the saved itinerary on RadiusMapper. Click Copy share link and send the URL — your buyer sees the same map and visit order without an account or login.
Does it account for live traffic?
Drive times reflect typical-traffic averages for the time-of-day, not live conditions. For showing-day scheduling, build a 5–10 minute buffer between properties on top of the listed leg duration.
What happens if an address doesn't geocode?
If an address can't be matched to a coordinate, the planner returns an error pointing to the offending entry. Fix it (try adding the city or ZIP) and re-optimize. The most common cause is a unit number or apartment letter — drop the # and re-submit.
Is this an open-source alternative to Sphere or HomeJab routing?
RadiusMapper isn't a CRM — it's a focused routing tool. It's free, has no signup, and produces a shareable URL realtor teams use as a quick alternative when they don't need a full showing-tour app.
Can house hunters use this without a realtor?
Yes. Drop in every address from your saved-listings list, optimize, and you've got a self-guided tour. The share link makes it easy to coordinate with a partner driving in a separate car.
Is it free?
Free, no signup, no account. Built on the same routing and mapping infrastructure as the rest of our tools at RadiusMapper.com.
