If you are a successful realtor, you probably spend much of your time in the field with clients, showing homes or prospecting for new business. That's difficult to manage, however, when you are tied to your office PC for Multiple Listing Service information, property tax data or other critical computer records.
Now you can be out of the office and have all that information at your fingertips with Executive Real Estate, a software application for Pocket PC-branded handheld computers. Executive Real Estate allows realtors to obtain property, title, assessment and appraisal information using a single wireless device.
Executive Real Estate was developed by Executive Wireless, a Vancouver, B.C. based provider of applications and services that enable professionals to securely access critical data using any mobile device on a wireless network.
"Real estate professionals measure success by how much time they spend out of their offices meeting with clients, showing properties and closing deals" said Michael Grabham, Executive Wireless COO of U.S. Operations. Executive Real Estate literally places the realtor's office in his or her pocket. That means fewer wasted trips back to the office, more selling time in the field, an enhanced professional image due to the real-time mobile information and the ability to sell more listings.
The software application is currently available in two areas where the company has obtained access to Multiple Listing Services: the Silicon Valley/San Jose area of California and Vancouver, B.C. The company plans to expand quickly throughout California and in other target markets throughout the U.S. and Canada.
What makes Executive Real Estate's technology unique is its ability to present data on a Pocket PC from several legacy databases and web sites in a single proprietary viewer at the same time. Using Executive Real Estate, realtors can quickly and easily search on single-family, multi-family and vacant lot listings and sales by various property characteristics, selecting parameters such as number of bedrooms, baths, square footage and price, and even download a high-resolution color picture of the home.
In addition, Executive Real Estate contains a mortgage calculator and integrates with a mapping function that pinpoints the property for the viewer.
The investment for Executive Real Estate is minimal, involving the cost of the handheld device and wireless service (which many mobile salespeople already have), plus a one-time $200 cost for the software and a $20 per-month Executive Wireless fee. Executive Real Estate also offers a 128K-encryption, closed-loop solution that is the most secure wireless network available.
Executive Real Estate is the first in a line of products being developed by Executive Wireless to benefit mobile sales professionals in many industries, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food and beverage, equipment, insurance, financial services and health care.
