Real Estate Search (Free)
Version – 1.0.0
REVIEW – “Take realtor.com with you on your iPhone!”
If you have ever spent any amount of time looking for houses to buy on the internet you
know that one of the largest resources available can be found at Realtor.com. Well thanks to a brand new iPhone app called Real Estate Search, you can take that entire database of houses for sale with you on the road!
Real Estate Search uses a simple, intuitive iPhone interface and at the same time manages to offer pretty much all of the must have features of the Realtor.com website! When you open the app for the first time you will notice the option to log in at the bottom of the screen.
While it is not required to log in to use this app, there are a few features such as “saved listings” and information sharing that are only available if you have an account.
Finding houses in your vicinity has never been easier than with this app. All you have to do is touch the “Nearby Homes for Sale” button and you will immediately be taken to a list of all the houses that are for sale within a mile of your current location. You can then refine that search to include a larger radius, min/max price, age of home, etc. by touching the “Refine” button in the upper right corner.
If you have used Zillow.com or a similar app before you may
want to view all of the houses on a map. This can easily be done by touching the “Street” or “Satellite” buttons at the bottom of the search screen. You can also zoom in and out and change your home results to all of those that currently fit on the screen by touching the “Search in This Area” button in the bottom left corner!
Two great features of this app are the ability to save listings to view later (only available if
you sign up for a free account), and to also browse through your most recently viewed homes. These are both accessed from the main menu of the app and make keeping track of your dream home(s) easier than ever!
Sharing a house’s information is as easy as touching one of the two buttons in the bottom left corner of the house listing. The button on the right will allow you to post a listing directly to Twitter or Facebook. The one on the far left allows you to send a quick email to one of three “Shortcuts” that you can set to whoever under the “Sharing Shortcuts” area of the settings.
I was very impressed with how many ways there are to search through the database of houses for sale, while at the same time retaining the same feeling of simplicity in this app. There have been several good real estate apps released for the iPhone. None of them, in my opinion, come close to both the ease of use, and the depth of features that this app has. Whether you are looking to buy a new or home, or you just like looking at houses all the time, Real Estate Search is an app that you will definitely want to take a look at!
