REALTOR® Mobile Search Tool – Goomzee

by on Apr 13, 2011 | Careers and Training, Real Estate News, Technology

REALTORS® now have access to a new mobile search tool powered by Goomzee.  Last week at Technopalooza I got a chance to talk with the reps and they informed me that all ARMLS subscribers have been “turned on”. That means you now have free access to their mobile search tool.

Why would I use Goomzee?

One reason is that it works with phones that most REALTORS® use; Android, iPhone, and Blackberry. Another is that it automatically finds my GPS location and displays active listings within a quarter mile from where I’m standing. (GPS set-up instructions, page 2-3) Last but not least, the welcome screen couldn’t be simpler.

Goomzee vs other mobile search tools

REALTOR.com, Trulia, and Zillow all have apps that provide the public with tons of listing information. Why would a REALTOR® use goomzee instead of one of these? Simple. All these big dogs are focused on attracting the public; home buyers and home sellers. Goomzee is a free tool for agents. This means when you use your flexmls ID to access, you get access to REALTOR® only fields like Private Remarks and Showing Instructions.

How do I access Goomzee?

Bookmark armls.goomzee.com. Use your flexmls ID and password to login. The site is designed for your mobile phone, but you can check it out from your lap/desktop too. So far Goomzee has been met with welcome words from fellow users.

After attending Technopalooza last month, I started to write an article about using the Blackberry.  Well, I finally finished it and it’s been published… on AAR’s blog.  It has some short-cuts and phone maintenance tips to help REALTORS® better use their blackberry devices. Click here to read the article.

The presenter of the class, William James, has an awesome website where he shares tips and tricks for lots of smart phones, not just the blackberry.  You can find his site here.

BlackBerry® eKeys are Coming!

by on Aug 24, 2008 | Technology


Straight from the flyer (h/t @drubloomfield)…

By the end of 2008, Supra eKey software will be available for the BlackBerry Pearl, BlackBerry Curve, and BlackBerry 8800 series smartphones.  BlackBerry devotees will soon join thousands of real estate professionals already enjoying the timesaving benefits of eKey service on their Palm and Windows Mobile smartphones.

We double checked with the local Supra office and they confirmed BlackBerry’s should double as lockbox keys by the end of the year.
