There's an App for That!
More than 100,000 people have already downloaded CREA's REALTOR.ca app... It of course gives smartphone users access to an average of 350,000 properties for sale on REALTOR.ca. Using a smartphone's built-in GPS feature, the app lets users search for houses available near their current location or a specific address, providing them with photos, listing details and contact information to get in touch with the REALTOR®.
It was launched on the Windows 7 Phone platform last November and then in December CREA issued a version compatible with Apple's iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices. Other versions for BlackBerry OS and Google's Android OS are coming in the next few months. GO TO crea.ca to download the version you want.
And a couple of other apps that you might find helpful...
MoveTools (free)...designed for the iPad. Users can use this app to customize a weekly moving checklist. Waiting to pack the printer last would also be a good idea, as this app also lets users create and print "smart labels" with digital QR codes, which can be read by any smartphone with a QR code scanning application to display what each smart-labelled box contains.
Dream Home ($5)... designed for the iPhone (and the Dream Home HD app for the iPad). This helps new home owners plan/visualize major renovations or redecorations. Users can select from a wide range of design ideas for every room in their house based on either room type, colour or style.
