Map overlays that make
your market make sense.
GenieLayers™ renders neighborhood borders, pollen levels, air quality, flood zones, and parcel boundaries directly on your listing maps — automatically, the moment a buyer searches any area.
Everything buyers want to know about a location — on the map
Four overlay types, boundary packages for every market, and a layer panel that buyers control themselves.
Neighborhood Boundaries
Precise neighborhood polygon overlays rendered from pre-built boundary packs. Buyers see exactly which neighborhood a listing falls in — no ambiguity.
Flood Zone Overlays
FEMA flood zone designations rendered as distinct polygon layers. Buyers can instantly see whether a property sits in a high-risk zone before asking their agent.
Pollen & Air Quality
Real-time pollen count and air quality index overlaid on listing maps. Especially valuable for buyers with allergies or respiratory conditions evaluating a neighbourhood.
Parcel Data
Individual parcel boundaries and APN data overlaid on the map. Useful for buyers evaluating lot size, neighboring parcels, or development potential.
Boundary Packs
Pre-built .mlsgpack boundary packages for your market area — uploaded by your admin once, active on every listing page instantly. No drawing required.
Buyer-Controlled Layer Panel
A sleek layer panel on every map lets buyers toggle individual overlays on and off themselves — no agent involvement needed to explore the data.
Upload once. Active on every listing — instantly.
Your admin uploads a pre-built .mlsgpack boundary file for your market area once. GenieLayers™ automatically detects which neighborhood or zone each listing falls in and renders the correct overlay on the map — no per-listing configuration, ever.
.mlsgpack fileBuyers explore. Agents get fewer questions.
When a buyer selects a neighborhood or draws a search area, the relevant boundary overlay renders automatically. They can toggle layers on and off to check flood zones, air quality and pollen levels, or see parcel lines — all without calling their agent.

Pre-built .mlsgpack boundary files for your market area. Buy once, active forever. Priced by complexity — a simple single-layer neighbourhood pack costs less than a large metro with multiple overlay types.
“Our buyers used to ask us about air quality, pollen, and parcel lines on every single showing. GenieLayers put that data right on the listing map. Calls dropped by half and our site engagement doubled because buyers stay longer exploring the layers.”
GenieLayers™ questions answered
What boundary data does GenieLayers™ use?
GenieLayers™ uses US Census TIGER/Line data as the primary source for neighbourhood and county boundaries. Neighbourhood boundaries are also sourced from Overpass API and Nominatim as fallbacks. Commercial boundary packs use curated GeoJSON boundaries for specific market areas.
Do boundary overlays appear automatically on listing pages?
Yes. Once GenieLayers™ is activated, overlays render automatically on every listing detail page without any per-page configuration. The layers relevant to that listing's location are detected and displayed.
Can I get boundaries for my specific market area?
Yes. In addition to the standard GenieLayers™ base pack, we offer commercial boundary packs for specific regions. The Big Bear AOR pack is currently available. Additional regional packs can be commissioned.
Are boundary packs domain-locked?
Yes. All commercial boundary packs use HMAC-SHA256 licence keys that are locked to your domain. They cannot be transferred to another site or used on a staging URL without a separate licence.
Does GenieLayers™ work with Houzez and other themes?
Yes. GenieLayers™ integrates with the property detail page on any WordPress theme that uses standard listing post types. It is fully compatible with Houzez, RealHomes, and most IDX themes.
