When viewed on an iPhone, BlackBerry or other smartphone the Coldwell Banker flagship Web site, coldwellbanker.com has a different look and feel, along with navigation specifically tailored for optimal viewing the mobile device.  This includes property listings search and home value estimator functions.  When a user accesses the site through his or her handset, the Coldwell Banker Web site automatically recognizes that it is being accessed by a mobile device and will serve up that specialized interface.  Users do not need to download any special software to benefit from this enhancement to the Coldwell Banker mobile technology.

"Now consumers in the home buying and selling process can easily search both domestically and internationally using their mobile devices," said Michael Fischer, senior vice president of marketing for Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC.  "Coldwell Banker will continue to find ways to blaze a trail with technology that provides consumers with listings anytime, anywhere."

Those looking for a home both domestically and internationally will be able to search for homes and utilize the brand's home value estimator.  In addition, consumers will be able to enter specific search criteria such as city, state, price as well as optional filters including number of bedrooms and bathrooms.  When a property is selected, users can view all of the specifications for that home and contact an agent directly.

How cool is that? It is just amazing how far we have come as a Profession as well as a Company in a short seven year span. I am not even going back to the days of manually copying listings from competing Brokers to get the inventory:))

very cool! as a fellow CB agent, I love the technological edge that CB gives us. I feel that it really gives us an advantage when competing against other brokers. I use a Samsung Instinct and I can't wait until I have this same technology for my phone. nice post!
