Mobile Search Is Live --- Let's Hit The Road! |
|
 Have you ever driven by a house for sale and wondered about the price or size of the home? In the past, if brochures weren't available by the curb, you would have likely tried to memorize the street address, or jotted it down somewhere to look up the details online when you returned home, or to the office. You no longer have to wait --- you can have instant gratification! Inspired by Verizon Wireless's recent expansion of their EVDO network, I spent some time this past weekend building a mobile search platform. On a web-enabled mobile phone, you can now quickly access the details of a property-for-sale, searching by street address, subdivision, or agent name. Are you ready to start prowling your favorite neighborhoods? Just bookmark this address: http://m.scottprogers.com (My URL preceded by a "m." for mobile). From having talked to many of my clients about this over the past few months, I think I have covered the top few search terms that would be necessary to pinpoint a property --- and I think I have some helpful information displayed when you view a property result. However, feel free to let me know if you have an idea for another helpful way to search while on the road. | |

Who Is This Scott Rogers Person?? |

Do I know you? It has been great to have e-mails and comments on my blog from people that I know --- and also from people that I don't know at all. My intent for my real estate blog is to provide a place for real estate related issues and trends to be discussed in our community. So . . . even if I don't know you, feel free to e-mail me a question, or add a question or thought in the comments section of this, or any other post. Do you know me? Some of you do --- others have never met me. Hopefully, this blog allows you to feel like you are getting to know me better --- and to know what I think and feel about our local real estate market, parts of the real estate transaction, etc. To take it one step further, I added two videos to my web site today (introducing the site, as well as the searching section of my site). You'll find these videos embedded below, as well, and I welcome your feedback. They are, perhaps, a bit on the "serious and professional" side --- so in future videos, I'll try to let a little more of my personality shine through. Despite their imperfections, I hope these videos allow you to get to know me a little better. And, as the name of my blog implies, if you'd like to get together for "Coffee with Scott" some day, just drop me an e-mail, or call me at 540-578-0102. All About My Web Site . . .

The Most Popular Properties --- At Least Online . . . |
|
 If you're reading my blog in a browser, as opposed to in a rss reader, you'll always see a property in the upper right corner of my blog. It is labeled as a "Top Property" with a number beside it --- and several of my blog readers have asked what this is all about. Now you'll know . . .Coldwell Banker Funkhouser Realtors operates over 60 web sites with property listings --- this includes our company web site, and a web site for each agent in our company. Each day, consumers perform thousands of property searches on all of these sites combined. We keep track of which properties are being viewed, and each night we sort through all of the properties on the market to find the 100 properties that consumers have viewed most frequently in the most recent 30 days. Curious to see how these properties rank? Visit my blog, and click on the  button next to the "Top Property" section. You'll be able to see a list of the top 100 most viewed properties. Enjoy! | |
