AUSTIN, TX (August 8, 2013) - Keller Williams Realty, the largest real estate franchise company in the United States, announced today the release of a mobile app customized for each of its 88,000 associates. The company is the first real estate franchise to offer every agent and office an individually branded real estate search app. 
Agents receive a unique URL and text code to share with consumers. When consumers use the app, they can easily search and compare properties and connect directly with their agent of choice about the listings they want to see.
"At Keller Williams, we're agent-centric and consumer-centric at the same time," CEO Mark Willis said. "By being the first to provide our associates with their own branded app, we are empowering them to achieve extraordinary results and deliver exceptional client service. And by providing consumers with an easy-to-use app filled with helpful features, we're putting the home search process where consumers want it most - in the palm of their hand."
 The app - which is provided at no cost to real estate agents or consumers - is available for Apple and Android platforms.
  Features for agents include: 
  • Advanced lead capture capabilities with leads from all MLS listings going directly into eEdge in accordance with Keller Williams Realty's "My Listings, My Leads" philosophy;
  • Individually branded app with the associate, team or market center name and contact information;
  • Fully integrated with Keller Williams Realty's proprietary listing database, as well as IDX where available in the U.S. and Canada; and
  • Listings appear to homebuyers searching in the area.
    Features for consumers include: 

  • The ability to search for homes based on criteria or by custom drawing on an interactive map;
  • GPS localized data displays homes in a given area that match the consumer's price range;
  • The ability to easily swipe through galleries of photos to decide whether a home fits one's needs and then add it to saved searches for convenient reference on the app or via the agent's website, where the saved searches are synced;
  • The ability to save notes on properties for future reference; and
  • Faster communication between agents and consumers via call, text or email.

    • "The Keller Williams app is a powerful tool for our associates to serve their communities," President Mary Tennant said. "We passionately believe that real estate is a local service business and our app reflects that philosophy. We are honored to be in business with associates who continue to lead the way in creating win-win experiences for consumers."

To keep it simple, it means it’s still a seller’s market. Here’s how it works: A  neutral market  is when supply and demand is balanced.

When that happens, buyers have more negotiation power because sellers are willing to make compromises to close the deal. In a buyer’s market, sellers may have to do price cuts to re-ignite interest in their home, and prices may go down. But we haven’t seen th...

  Finding Your Perfect Home in a Fixer Upper If you’re trying to  buy a home  and are having a hard time finding one you can afford, it may be time to consider a fixer-upper. That’s a house that needs a little elbow grease or some updates, but has good bones. Fixer-uppers can be a really great option if you’re looking to  break into  the housing market or want to stretch your budget further.  According  to  NerdWallet : “Buying a fixer-upper can provide a path to homeownership for first-time home buyers or a way for repeat buyers to afford a larger home or a better neighborhood.  With the relatively low inventory of homes for sale these days, a move-in ready home can be hard to find, especially if you’re on a budget.” Basically, since the number of homes for sale is still so low, if you’re only willing to tour homes that have all your dream features, you may be cutting down your options too much and making it harder on yourself than necessary...
