Smartphones and the House Search


The Mercury had an article today about one more way that our tech savvy buyers are using to house hunt. Realtors in the Silicon Valley know that a huge percentage of our buyers use the Internet to search for homes and to check out open houses. That's why we make sure that we cover all the bases ans have quality photos, virtual tours, and detailed information available to them.
Now they have another way to look at what's on the market...their cell phones and wireless devices. How simple it is to see a house you like, get driving directions, and call your agent, all on one gadget. Realtor.com has had a downloadable feature for over a year, and Trulia, recently connected with our Coldwell Banker system, has a search (Trulia Mobile) that will show you open houses and listings nearby without typing in your location.
