Sawnuck, an online real-estate brokerage in Washington D.C., has created a free app for iPhone and iPad users. The app helps potential homebuyers navigate the San Diego real estate market. Users are able to “check in” to residential properties on the market, and leave notes, photos and videos on their visits. It comes from the same idea as the “Foursquare” application, where people can record visits to restaurants, bars and other places. The businesses often offer promotions for people who “check in” at their establishments and leave comments.
This innovative approach to house-hunting seems to be the natural progression. Today, most people begin their search at home on various listing websites, then go out and view the properties while taking notes. With the Sawbuck app, San Diego homebuyers can use one portable device to search tour, and collect data about homes. The app also allows users to “check in” on Twitter and Facebook, including friends and family in the decision process.
The Sawbuck app offers checklists to help people remember details; you can add photos or videos and rate each home. It also includes a GPS feature to guide you to each property. It has the ability to put you in contact with San Diego agents and set appointments. It has the capability of sorting the properties by price, location and type of property. It also has virtual tours of homes. Currently the app is only available for iPhone and iPad users, but there is a plan for an Android version of the app. The application is available at Apple’s app market.
