Realtor.com for Android: Mini Review

by Jesse Bauer

Realtor.com

If you’ve ever thought of buying or renting property, you know it can be a painful, time-sucking vortex from which you may never return. Although, searching for Real Estate has become easier and faster as the real estate market moves its way to the web. There’s been a lot of technological advances into deciding if you’re ready to buy, only then having to go through the painful task of meeting and viewing homes with a Realtor.

Thankfully, that process is becoming shorter and shorter for anyone considering a Real Estate purchase. With information at our fingertips, we can make the move to “serious” buyer, without the personal aid of a Realtor.

The new Realtor.com app for Android is turning the benefits of online information into a mobile bonus. This app will allow you to search for houses for sale or rent in any area within the US, utilizing the powerful Google mapping engine, with street view included! It can GPS your location and give you searches from 1 to 20 miles from where you are, making it easier to see places within a neighborhood you may have driven by and admired, or just to save time in driving to open-houses.

Also included is the ability to email listings from within the app, and keep your favorite listings synced with Realtor.com (account registration required for this feature).

If you are thinking of buying or renting, this app can help you stay on top of the Real Estate market, and make a good, informed decision before contacting your local Realtor to discuss your plans.

    zillow and realtor.com take listings and generally show them to consumers. Smarter Agent is another Android that is used more by Realtors, but consumers can use it too.
