Going Mobile: Real Estate Apps for iPhones, Androids, and iPads



In the real estate market, demand continues to trump supply. Homes in Central Ohio are changing hands quicker and, on average, sitting on the market for less than three months. That’s why it’s so important that you have easily accessible tools to help you stay up-to-date in your home search. For 
those of you who have used Realtor.com in your home search, good news—Realtor.com also has apps for iPhones, Androids, and iPads.

iPhone Users: Realtor.com’s iPhone app is free to download and has many of the same capabilities as the website itself. You can customize price range, size, age of home, and even school district among other things. The app also has a feature for open houses and foreclosures. If you’re renting a home, no problem. Realtor.com’s Rentals app allows you to take photos and notes while touring a rental.  It also notifies you when you’re near a rental you’ve saved.

Android Users: Similar to the iPhone apps, Realtor.com has Android apps that serve both buyers and renters. The apps have many of the same features, such as a price change alerts on saved listings and the ability to highlight the area in which you want to search. The Rentals app allows you to tailor your search based on what is most important to you, such as pet and parking policies. It too allows user to take and share their personal pictures and notes.

iPad Users: Realtor.com’s iPad app gives you access to the largest and most frequently updated set of real estate listings available. It offers even more search criteria as well as larger images.

Of course, nothing compares to the guidance you receive when you work with an agent one-on-one. I would love to have the opportunity to earn your business; contact me to see how I can be of help!
