I think it is great that they have developed mobile consumer apps. I would like to see more companies follow suit, as this is a huge opportunity that most are overlooking.

This service is available through my Home Search Website provider as well,
www.proagentwebsites.com
I have many home buyer leads generated from I-Phone access and my search landing pages see below:

By just punching in an address of a home in my local area, home buyers are directed to my website. I can't think of a better way to receive a buyer lead than this.
