RMLS™ is combining forces with HomeSpotter to bring an easy-to-use mobile app to RMLS™ subscribers on Monday, September 12th.

Activating the HomeSpotter app will give instant access to RMLSweb listing information to RMLS™ subscribers out in the field. HomeSpotter offers a simple interface for ease of use, and can call up details on a listing in less time than it takes to sign in to RMLSweb.

HOMESPOTTER FEATURES

HomeSpotter can easily find listings by typing in a MLS number, address, city, or ZIP code.

The app can also use location data to display a map of nearby listings that have been on the market over the last year. Zooming in on the map will reveal more listings than can be seen in the top-level view.

If all else fails, HomeSpotter can even use your phone’s camera and location to pinpoint a listing that’s right in front of you! Activate this feature, navigate the screen to the property in question, and HomeSpotter will deliver listing information in a flash.

HomeSpotter’s other tools include a menu item to quickly access your own listings, access to the RMLSweb agent roster to connect with with another RMLS™ subscriber, and a handy mortgage calculator.

SOUND INTERESTING?

Download HomeSpotter on your mobile device through the Apple App Store or Google Play. Activate your account with a unique activation code found on RMLSweb by clicking on “Homespotter” under the Toolkit menu.

Downloading the app and using this service is completely free to RMLS™ subscribers.

JOIN A WEBINAR

HomeSpotter will hold two training webinars next week to give RMLS™ subscribers a guided tour of the app. Sign up for a webinar on Tuesday, September 13th at 2:00pm-2:30pm or Thursday, September 15th from 10:00am-10:30am. HomeSpotter will give a demonstration of the app and then open the floor to questions from the group.

If you’re in need of a friendly mobile option for referring to RMLSweb listings, we hope you’ll find HomeSpotter an invaluable tool.
