I do not mean to rain on Coldwell's parade, but I feel obligated to put a plug in for my company.
Three years ago, Nothnagle Realtors saw the growing need for mobile interfaces for home buyers. So in response to this trend, Nothnagle started http://mobile.nothnagle.com
It is an XML interface so it is compatible with any web browsing device. This mobile platform not only features Nothnagle listings but also all other MLS listed properties with information and pictures.
So to all of you out there who want to see what the next big trend will be in real estate, study the company that I work for see what they do. And you will see all of those that follow years later. Think of it as a crystal ball.
Wow, my neck hurts now. My head must have grown a little bigger. (Just kidding!)
