Guenter Group RE/MAX Lets Clients House-Shop on their i-Phones!

Nov. 2, 2009 - PRLog -- Technology is rapidly changing the house hunting landscape. It began with the Internet driving prospective homebuyers to search engines to find the Sarasota homes of their dreams; thus, the Multiple Listing Service was born. Now 90% of real estate clients start their searches online, where they can browse Sarasota real estate properties and Sarasota real estate agents.

Now the Guenter Group of RE/MAX Platinum Realty has revolutionized the downtown Sarasota real estate industry one step further. They realize that more and more homebuyers are going mobile and browsing the web on their cell phones. Currently, the Guenter Group division of RE/MAX is developing a client-exclusive iPhone app, which will combine browsing and texting features for the ultimate home shopper experience.

Bryan Guenter, owner and Certified Real Estate Specialist, explains how the new Sarasota real estate mobile application will work for his clients: “Say you’re driving by a house you like and you want to know the list price. You can simply text that specific address to a number and you’ll receive back all the information on that listing – features, photos, list price, etc.” He adds, “There is another number where you can download all the Sarasota real estate properties for sale near where you’re standing; it runs off the GPS of your phone to automatically show you the closest listings – not just our properties – but all the properties on the MLS in that area.” Long gone are the days of running back and forth across town, when buyers and agents can quickly and efficiently scour an entire area of interest to maximize their time.

Currently, mobile phone users can visit http://www.waterfrontlifestyle.com/mobile/ to quickly search available properties by city, address, subdivision, minimum / maximum price, property type, waterfront view and pool. Downtown Sarasota real estate and Sarasota waterfront real estate browsers can read all the details on properties that meet their search criterion and view photos to let them know if that particular place might meet their needs. The latest Sarasota home offerings for sale will pop up, helping buyers to find high-demand properties in real-time.

“We have a very high-tech way of doing business, which allows us to provide a much better end-user experience for the client,” explains Bryan Guenter. “No other company does this – we give our clients mobile search access, while also looking on a daily basis to find them great deals on short sales, foreclosures and other Sarasota real estate that benefit the buyer.”
