IPhone 2.0 Upgrade Brings Location Based Real Estate To Light

Being an engineer in my past life, I am kind of a gadget freak.  My home office is full of technology, greater than the entire building where I work.  I have more fire power in my home than most tech companies around the Tampa Bay Area (trust me I do).  Anyway, I use to think that the Iphone was a toy when I first saw it.  I used my Blackberry and loved it for a long time.  Then my buddy bought me an Iphone (he says so that we can speak the same language...not sure since he is Russian so).  Anyway, my thoughts of toy moved to tool I can't do without.  Don't get me wrong, the Iphone is still a shinny toy, but with the new App store being released, the toy has grown up.

One app I saw, not currently in the App Store, but in conceptual proof, was an app that took real estate listings and presented them to the buyer based on current location and some minor criteria.  The only problem I forsee with this system is ownership of the data.  I found that pretty slick and something I wish I had thought of (although I came up with loading listings in your GPS system about a year ago but never did anything about it, now I saw some company trying to do it in recent weeks). 

Real Estate and technology are merging quickly.  With the improvements to technology such as the Iphone 3g or the first gen Iphone with the 2.0 upgrade, the search for Real Estate is getting easier and easier.  Internet based searches are getting more advanced and are now moving to the mobile sector.  I look forward to these advances and continue to try to be at the leading edge when Real Estate takes the turn onto the fast route.  Today's buyers are getting smarter and smarter about what they want in Real Estate and how they locate it and I plan on being right there with them.  Whether it is Twitter, Youtube, Facebook, LinkedIn, or some other Social Network or Location based Social Network, I am always game for the next big thing!
