Back in the old days without the internet, Blackberries and iPhones, the way to purchase a home was to walk through each and every possibility. This would add up to be an incredibly time consuming and tedious process. Houses that didn’t even come close to matching your guidelines would be on the list of potential homes due to lack of information. Luckily, times have changed. Now it is time to go mobile in your real estate market.
Think of it as batman and his utility belt. Sure he’s good at fighting crime, but how good is he at doing that without his utility belt? Batman’s belt provides all the tools necessary to get the job done as quickly and efficiently as possible. It’s time for homebuyers of new jersey real estate to equip themselves with their version of a utility belt by going mobile. This means grabbing an app for your iPhone to get all the updated information-on the spot-at a moment’s notice.
Sure, if you go home and use your internet, it would do the same thing. The only problem is you have to go home to do that. Nothing about that is mobile. It’s not easy to go back and forth from house to house to get your information and then drive around again for another tour. There are some incredible real estate related apps that can be used with both Blackberries and iPhones to cut your search time in half.
One of the best things about going mobile as you search through your real estate market is that most of the real estate apps are free! Yes, that’s right, I said free. It’s free to have useful, mobile tools and to be able to access the most updated lists of prospects as long as you have a Smartphone of some sort. This will keep you updated and provide you with all of the information necessary to continue your search.
Imagine having mobile applications that give you direct contact information, an auto GPS locator, property search functions, hyper-local information, video, featured listings, MLS access, loan calculators and more. All of these tools are incredibly useful and having them on the go will make shopping for your next home an absolute delight. Indeed, there is no reason not to go mobile in your real estate market.
