Property By Phone....
The market for third-party applications has exploded over the past year, as everyone from Facebook to Apple, Google and MySpace have allowed developers to create applications for their various platforms.
Every new medium needs persistent, informed critical perspectives on its product, and this has been lacking in digital media generally but mobile media specifically. New sites and offerings get thrust onto the market with a press release and a blurb about the company's prospects, but too few journalists actually take a look at the product themselves and render even a cursory evaluation.
We are going to uncover all of the secrets that the ultra successful Realtors are using right now to dominate your market and teach you how to beat them at their own game.

There is a new explosion hitting the market to aid the inactive economy. What's this new monster of the industry? Mobile.
Persistent attempts from developers and from companies needing a new approach for business have combined to create what we fondly know as Mobile. Over 290 million mobile users feed the mouth of the beast with online shopping, social media browsing, text messaging, internet use, ect., ect. And the numbers are only increasing. How does this explosion help you, you're wondering? How can it not. Over the past year the market for third-party applications has dominated the stagnate economy. When business' are at a stand still in every other media, mobile shines through to lead the way for marketing, social connections, small business exposure, online sales, training, and an overall knowledge dump for basically any aspect you may be curious to learn or dive into.
One of the markets hit the hardest, as you might already know, is Real Estate. Unable to avoid the dry spell in home sales, many real estate agents are turning to other means for exposure for their listings AND for themselves. “How can I stay afloat and keep clients interested in buying when consumers are just not spending money?” Asks Debbie Smith from RE/MAX. “In the last 5-10 years we have seen an increasing number of homeowners who must stay at their current location because they just can't sell. They are frustrated and many are falling into foreclosure. I sometimes feel overwhelmed and don't know what tools I can use anymore to help them.”
Many real estate agents have the same problem, not knowing the tools are right at their fingertips. Some are unwilling to learn, don't know where to look, or are too busy trying to swim above the waves of the turbulent market to even consider a new approach for business. When asking agents what type of marketing techniques they use to be successful, they always reply with the same dull answers... “Well I do flyers, I hand out my business card, I do open houses, and of course I always have my real estate sign in-front of the home so clients can call for showings.” Sorry friends, in the world of digital media...you need a bit more to become seen. There are hundreds of companies to help in your need, but which one to choose. They all promise the world, and always under deliver.

Denver company to offer 3D Internet real-estate tool Denver Business Journal - by Paula Moore
AccessU2 Mobile Solutions LLC of Denver has cemented a deal to offer GeoData Technologies Inc.’s SiteSeer3D mapping technology, which allows people who want to buy homes and other real estate to look for properties to tour using a three-dimensional landscape on the Internet.
The Denver company plans to start offering the service in the next few weeks, according to AccessU2 founder and President Kenneth O’Hanlon.
SiteSeer3D “enables a person to go around town, look at any property and locate it by GPS. … You can look at everything you just looked at on a 3D map,” O’Hanlon said.
PropertyByPhone is basically an electronic version of the paper flyers offered in boxes attached to for-sale signs in front of homes.
With the product, AccessU2 offers prospective homebuyers information about a home — via text, still photos and streaming video — on their cell phones and PDAs. A PropertyByPhone sign attached to a for-sale sign includes a toll-free phone number for prospective buyers to call, and an access code for the home they want information about.
Home shoppers can also set up an appointment with an agent to see a home on the phone.
Subscribers to PropertyByPhone’s service include real estate professionals such as sales agents, brokers, property managers and homebuilders.
GeoData of Sandpoint, Idaho, is a provider of 3D property search software; the company launched SiteSeer3D last November.
