Search ALL homes for sale in St. Augustine from your personal cell phone.
July 26, 2006 (St. Augustine, FL)—One of the top real estate agents in St. Augustine, Florida announced today that cell phones can be turned into the ultimate house-hunting tool. Marjorie Taylor with Watson Realty Corp. St. Augustine Beach is providing consumers with a mobile application called Smarter Agent that Marjorie calls MLS By Phone that makes it possible to search all local property listings from their mobile device, regardless of whether it is listed by Marjorie or another broker/agent. MLS By Phone can be downloaded to virtually any cell phone by visiting www.MarjorieTaylor.net.
With MLS By Phone, consumers can be in any neighborhood and view detailed home information at the touch of a button. The GPS technology in the mobile phone, when available, locates users and pulls up addresses and information on property listings in their immediate area. Sales price, square footage, tax information, beds/baths, interior and exterior features and pictures become available instantly in the palm of their hand.
Consumers can also search by address, community, city or zip code when GPS is not available, or if they want to search for real estate in a particular area other than their current location.
The “Call to See” feature within the application will connect users to Marjorie if they have further questions or want to schedule a tour of the property.
"Shopping for homes up until now has been an online experience dependent on a PC or laptop. This application gives homebuyer’s the freedom to break away from the computer and have access to St. Augustine real estate information on their phone while they are away from the home and office. I am excited that my home buyers can now drive up to a home and by using their phone find out the details on that property and the homes around them instantly." said Taylor.
When downloading the application from Taylor’s website, MarjorieTaylor.net, consumers will find the MLS By Phone tab which provides instructions on how to send the application to their personal cell phone.
MLS By Phone is available to 95% of cell phones. The fully downloadable application is free to download on Sprint devices, BlackBerry devices across all carriers, the iPhone, and Google's Android G-1. The premium mobile web version is free to access.
