Homes.com has released a mobile application allowing consumers to search for your listings on the go! Forrester Research recently reported that 67 percent of smartphone owners browse the mobile Internet at least once per week, and 30 percent do so daily. By releasing mobile apps for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and Blackberry Storm alongside a new mobile website, Homes.com has become the FIRST real estate portal to reach consumers through all major mobile marketing channels. Now home buyers and sellers can easily search over 3 million homes for sale and rent, right from their mobile phones!
Your listings will appear on mobile phones complete with rich property details, Google maps, color photos, driving directions, and agent contact information. Featured listings on Homes.com will also apply to the mobile applications allowing your listings to be highlighted in search results.

The Blackberry Storm application is available from Blackberry World, the iPhone application can be found in the iTunes App Store, and the mobile site can be accessed from any web-enabled phone at mobile.homes.com.

Did you know that your rental listings appear on Homes.com? Consumers can search for rental properties on Homes.com and save the property details just like a traditional home search. Homes.com is optimized to appear prominently in search engine results for rental searches. Your rental listings can also be used with Featured Listing and Premier Listing settings. This is just another great benefit of your AgentAdvantage membership!

Buyers can find your rentals on Homes.com

If your rental listings are being pulled from your MLS, and your board allows listings to be displayed on the Homes.com website, all of your rentals will automatically appear in the Homes for Rent section. If your listings are hand-entered you can make them appear as rentals by logging into the Control Panel and editing your listing in the Listings Manager. Simply change the property type to either “Home for Rent” or “Resort Rental” and your listing will appear on Homes.com as a rental property.
