Weichert, Realtors Introduces Apple iPhone Application

Weichert, Realtors recently launched an iPhone application for all consumers who have the capability of connecting to the company website through an iPhone. The new application provides an improved online experience for home buyers and sellers, and offers key functionality, a range of convenient features based on GPS and greater ease-of-use at the touch of a screen. 

One of the unique features of Weichert, Realtors’ iPhone application is the user-friendly myWorkbook functionality. The myWorkbook feature lets the user group properties any way he/she would like, allowing notes and listings to be added during any search.  Users can share listings and photos via e-mail, Twitter or Facebook. Workbooks created on the iPhone are also viewable on Weichert’s website.  Once users register with a myWeichert account on Weichert.com, possibilities are endless.  Features of the myWeichert account include saving listings and search criteria, adding notes, uploading photos and rating properties. 

Another advantage of Weichert’s iPhone application is its GPS-based features. Users on the go can search for all homes for sale, or Open Houses within two miles of his/her location.  Driving directions between locations are easily accessible and several views of a particular property can be selected. 

“The majority of people today are turning to the Internet when beginning a property search.  The most important thing one seeks from an iPhone application is quick access to listings and detailed property information at any time from anywhere,” said Michael Montsko, president of the Weichert Lead Network, the Internet marketing arm for Weichert, Realtors. “I am confident that homebuyers will find the Weichert iPhone app and the real-time integration with Weichert.com to be an invaluable tool during their home search.” 

Consumers can download the Weichert iPhone application from the main screen on their iPhones by selecting the “App Store” application. Weichert’s application can be found by simply searching “Weichert” in the search browser.  Download the application and it is ready for use.
