Search all homes for sale in the Tri-State Area from your personal cell phone.
One of the top real estate agents in the Tri-State Area announced today that cell phones can be turned into the ultimate house-hunting tool. John & Mary Luca with The Luca's Tri-State Team at Prudential Fox & Roach is providing consumers with a mobile application called Homes for Sale that makes it possible to search all local property listings from their phone, regardless of whether it is listed by John Luca or another broker/agent. Homes for Sale can be downloaded to cell phones, iPhones and BlackBerry devices by visiting www.TriStateTeam.com.
With Homes for Sale, consumers can be in any neighborhood and view detailed home information at the touch of a button. The GPS technology in the mobile phone, where available, locates users and pulls up addresses and information on property listings in their immediate area. Sales price, square footage, tax information, beds/baths, interior and exterior features and pictures become available instantly in the palm of their hand.
Consumers can also search by city, zip code, address, or community name when GPS is not available, or if they want to search for real estate in a particular area other than their current location.
The “Call to See” feature within the Homes for Sale application will connect users to John Luca if they have further questions or want to schedule a tour of the property.
"We're all about providing excellent service to our clients by combining the technology they need with our personal market expertise,” said Mary Luca, who is e-Pro Certified.
When downloading the application from John and Mary’s website, www.TriStateTeam.com, consumers will find a "Search for Homes from Your Cell Phone" tool which provides instructions on how to send the application to their personal cell phone. Users simply select their cell phone carrier, the make/model of their device and enter their cell phone number into the downloader tool. Instantly, the application is sent via text message and downloaded to their cell phone just like a game or ringtone.
Homes for Sale is available across every carrier and mobile device via a fully downloadable application or mobile web (WAP) version. The fully downloadable version is live on hundreds of cell phone models on AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile. If your carrier or cell phone model is not listed on the downloader tool, simply select ‘Other’ and download the mobile web (WAP) version. Smarter Agent is also available on BlackBerry devices as well as the iPhone. The fully downloadable version for Windows Mobile devices, as well as other devices and major carriers, will be added over the coming months.
Homes for Sale is free to download on BlackBerry devices across all carriers and the iPhone, in addition to the free WAP version. For other devices, a nominal monthly carrier charge may apply, dependent on device and carrier, billed directly to your carrier statement.
