Vancouver Sun Business: House hunting goes mobile with new text services

My favourite local real estate columnists, Derrick Penner penned a great new article about what is happening with mobile technology in the real estate industry.  Shopping for a home goes mobile was published on the front page of today’s Business section in the Vancouver Sun.
There are some good quotes from Vancouver Realtor Kye Grace (@KyeGrace) throughout the article. He says “There’s no doubt that mobile is where it’s at… and in all reality, the consumer is going mobile.” I need to talk to him to see what system he is using.
The article mainly talks about old technology, using a call to action on a For Sale sign. This method is over supplied and under utilized by consumers. Realtors tell me all the time that they aren’t getting the traction they were looking for. This is why we focus on MLS search and delivery. We Make Mobile MLS Easy!
The article also mentions an iPhone app. Of course, the App Store is dominating the mobile space and can’t be ignored. 3locations is working on phone apps that combine the MLS with the best practices of social networking.
