Ross – I bet that sign also had a web address. If you use a smart phone, the url kind of works like that.

I would be much more interested in this phone app: I am driving through a neighborhood when I spy a house with a lawn ornament that looks suspciously like a For Sale sign. The plastic box intended to hold flyers is empty, as usual. But on the sign is a secret code: 6K34FCX. I key this code into my phone, and instantly all the info about this listing appears on my phone. I’m so tickled by the instant gratification that escrow closes only 4 weeks later.

Your download worked great! Even down to the friendly voice on the other end after hitting “call”.

This is a sweet app. But, I’m not sure it’s worth sending them money if you are. People can get the app for free they just have to ignore the other random broker info it puts on there.

Jay – You and me both. Thanks for trying.

Jacob – Talk like that will inspire me to taketh back your lattes. The whole idea is for you to download it from my site so I am the call to action, goof. As an alternative, feel free to put my number in your address book.

Yay, starbucks!!!

I installed the app from the iphone app store. It’s free after all. Looks pretty good. A little sluggish, but I’ll definitely be using this next time I’m driving around and curious about listings. The current location search is awesome. I’m in La Jolla right now and I guess it identifies a “Tiffany Torgan” as the local Realtor. Ideally, I would prefer it have the listing agent phone number as the “call now” action, but that’s another debate altogether…

Yes – I think that has to do with your data plan. I am unlimited (for obvious reasons), so I kind of glossed over that part. Guess this means you can’t help?

By the way, Steve owes you a Starbuck’s gift card. I’ll remind him.

It looked fine until this:

“Dependent on your carrier and phone, Homes for Sale ranges from free up to $4.99 per month for unlimited usage, billed directly to your carrier.”
