14 DAY TRIAL // ZipRealty, one of the leaders in real estate brokerage has just announced that it has updated its Android application with a new set of features.
The application now allows users to search the company's real estate database while on the move.
In addition, it allows users to sync up their home search with the mobile search feature for homes in over 5,000 cities and neighborhoods in 23 major metro areas in the United States.
[ADAMRK=1]Unfortunately, it appears that the updated version of the application has yet to be published on Android Market, along with its change log.
According to ZipRealty, the new updated application provides all available MLS listings of homes 'for sale' and more complete MLS data on each home.
A new action bar has been introduced, which allows users to request a visit, ask a question, contact their ZipRealty agent, as well as save any home they are interested in from every home details screen within the app.
“Providing a high-quality mobile app that mirrors the same excellent user experience our customers have on our website is important because the home buying process is extensively a mobile one – driving streets, touring open houses, walking neighborhoods, and looking at schools,” said Lanny Baker, CEO of ZipRealty.
Other new features included with the latest version of ZipRealty include:
- The option to log in using Facebook Connect; - Share home details with friends and family via Facebook or email; - Home estimates from HomeGain and eppraisal from each home details screen; - Create a ZipRealty account from within the app; - Upgraded, visually rich map search results with embedded 'for sale' and recently sold prices.
ZipRealty for Android is available as a free download from Android Market and is compatible with all devices running Android 1.6 and up.
