We knew when we were working on our new mobile real estate website that we were going to be the first firm in Northern Michigan to create such a platform. What we didn't realize is that we may very likely be the first independent broker to build a mobile platform for real estate searches anywhere in the United States! In a recent post on "The Future of Real Estate Marketing" newsletter, it was announced that Homes.com has joined Trulia and others in the launch of their mobile version. The article goes on to talk about the ineffectiveness of those sites because they do not pull data directly from local mls boards so the information is often incomplete and inaccurate. m.homewaters.net has no such problems because it is fed directly from four Northern Michigan MLS Boards, so the information provided is always very timely and accurate. Technology has once again proven to be the great field leveler. When a relatively small firm like ours consistently beats the Goliaths of our industry to the punch, it is really satisfying!!! Our agents have found the new site very helpful when we're showing property to clients and we come across a property with a for sale sign in front that we didn't find previously. With just a few clicks, we can see the complete data for that property including all available photos, pricing, description and more. Next time you've got a few minutes, check it out for yourself.

Chad - The site looks great on my iPhone. I bookmarked it for sure! One other mobile real estate site I've seen is mobile.edinarealty.com.
