Four Great Apps For Finding Properties And Commercial Listings
Whether you are a first-time home buyer or a firm that is in pursuit of premium down town office space, the search for a new property can often take time, energy and money that few of us wish to expend. Between open houses, closing costs and bank approvals, it can take months for any offer to be accepted and work its way through the system. Fortunately, those who have had difficulties finding the best properties for their needs will no longer have to struggle or waste time, thanks to mobile technology. Below, we will discuss four apps and what each can offer in terms of convenience, saved time and avoided frustrations.
Property Finder
The Property Finder application for Android devices will empower users who are currently in the market for a new property – whether that be residential or commercial. Users can search by keyword phrase or browse properties in their immediate area via the GPS function. A variety of filters are included to allow filtered results, which can be sorted by price, number of bedrooms, square footage, acreage and much more. With options for list and map views, anyone can display a variety of results according to their tastes. The Property Finder app is free and can be downloaded via the Android Marketplace.

Commercial Properties
Anyone who needs to find a great deal on commercial properties will appreciate the aptly-name app, Commercial Properties. This tool combines listings from hundreds of different sites and services across the country in order to display an unprecedented number of commercial listings in one location. Users will be able to filter results by ZIP code, state or city – with a radius option to further expand select searches – and can view properties based on a variety of features such as price, size and date listed. Any interesting listings can be shared via social media and lists of properties can be quickly stored within the app for future reference.
