Search for home with your iPhone

Posted in iPhone News by admin. Published October 2nd, 2008

Coldwell Banker Real Estate, a full-service real estate provider, announced Tuesday the new version of its website customized specifically for iPhone users.

The new version shares the same domain as the company’s traditional site but automatically recognizes the iPhone end users to serve up the special iPhone interface. iPhone users just need to go to www.coldwellbanker.com from their iPhone, without having to download or install any special software. The new site offers a very well-laid out look and feel, along with convenient navigation on the iPhone’s screen, especially the property listings search and home value estimator.

You can now search for home on the iPhone just like you would do it on a regular computer, if not more convenient. Once a property is found, you can also contact the agent directly from the phone. You can also use the site to check out the estimated current value of a specific property.

I tried the new site on my iPhone 3G and it worked well, both the home search and the home value calculator. I, too, could also map the address of the property of interest on Google map and get the direction to and from it that way. The new site, however, doesn’t retain the input information, forcing you to re-type everything for each property, which is inconvenient.

While this new version of the site is convenient and cool, it won’t help keep you from feeling depressed seeing the decrease in value of the real estate market.
