Mobile Crossing and Pocket Real Estate are teaming up to provide a GPS navigation system with functionality designed for Real Estate Agents. Using technology from Pocket Real Estate, Mobile Crossing’s new WayPoint Pocket Real Estate Edition combines turn-by-turn spoken directions with complete database access to the agent’s multiple listing service out-of-the-box. Does this mean the next time I’m out looking for a house my agent wont get lost? Yep. Actually my agent would never get lost, she’s too good.
This new edition of the WayPoint includes built-in mortgage, loan, home equity, loan balance, rent-versus-own analysis, and loan amortization calculators. The new QuickSearch function can locate properties by MLS number or address. The agent can queue up a number of properties at once and generate driving directions for the complete property tour. Price, location, bed, bath and other data from the MLS are provided on the screen. In addition, complete area maps allows the agent to quickly zoom out and preview an entire neighborhood before the client.
I have seen other attempts at creating a mobile real-estate agent tool with GPS, but this really looks like it bordering on nirvana. It will be interesting to see how the real-estate industry embraces it.
Suggested retail price is $799.99. Mobile Crossing’s products are available at retail outlets or on-line at http://www.mobilecrossing.com
