Homescape Goes Mobile
I'm going home,
And when I want to go home, I'm going mobile.
Well I'm gonna find a home on wheels, see how it feels,
Goin' mobile.
Keep me moving…
— The Who, 'Going Mobile'
There's nothing more liberating than going mobile, footloose and fancy-free, with the (virtual) world at your fingertips. For today's home buyers, that means the convenience of punching up real estate listings on their wireless gizmos. That's pretty cool, seeing that you can do that while sitting on the bus or strolling through a neighborhood looking for open houses.
Here at HomeFinder.com, we've been busy revving up our search engines for home hunters who enjoy doing more on their mobile devices than just playing Pac-Man. HomeFinder.com now offers access to all of our 3 million-plus property listings directly from your iPhone, BlackBerry and similar Web-browsing smartphones.
We've formatted the listings to be easily readable on your phone's display, so don't worry about having to squint. You still get the same quality HomeFinder.com-listing features — in-depth property details, price sorting, multiple photos and open house notices — that you normally get on your computer's browser.
Ready to 'find a home on wheels'? Punch up www.HomeFinder.com/mobile on your phone's Web browser to start viewing HomeFinder.com real estate listings in your area.
Get buyer leads now
We didn't overlook the fact that no one enjoys being on the go more than Realtors. And we realize that when it comes to making a sale, time is of the essence. That's why HomeFinder.com's new mobile goodies also include a service for agents who want to field leads immediately from online buyers.
Our new Text Leads service sends a phone text message to an agent the minute a buyer sends them an e-mail lead from a property listing on www.HomeFinder.com. Sure beats having to run back to the office to check for leads on a computer. Our service, which works on all mobile phones with text messaging, is ideal for independent agents or small brokerages that do not have e-mail-enabled smartphones or their own lead-management service or an office secretary. Even if you do have mobile e-mail, you can use our text service as an extra audio alert, notifying you to check your new lead right away.
For information on how to take advantage of HomeFinder.com's Text Leads, drop us a line at sales@HomeFinder.com.
