Real Estate Search Apps For Vancouver Home Buyers
Search For Vancouver Real Estate on Your iPhone
A few months ago I talked about a lack of mobile real estate search applications for the new breed of cell phones.
Since then I have discovered a pair of applications for the iPhone that allow you to search for Real Estate including filtering by address, price, beds, and baths.
One is now active and other is in the final development stages
The first is from Zoocasa, a website aiming to be the most comprehensive real estate search site in Canada, and allows you to
- Find homes for sale near you by using iPhone’s built in GPS
- Touch quick link to see a description, photo of the home, and agent information
- Get directions to the home you’re viewing from where you are
- Email the details to friends, family, or agent
The second is an iPhone app built by local real estate specific marketing and design firm Debruyn Design.
Debruyn Design has built an app that integrates with their clients websites and allows home buyers to search for real estate on the go from iPhone and view the MLS data and pictures.
It even has an address search so if you are out driving and spot a for sale sign you can learn all about it right there.
I realize that a lot of home buyers don't have an iPhone but those that do now have options, but more importantly in a short time we are seeing progression in mobile real estate search and will hopefully see it progress to blackberry and other devices.
