Recently our team switched mobile phones from the old Palm Centros to the lastest Droid phones from Verizon. We love them so far, and they work great to sync email, contacts and more. Not to mention all the great apps that are available.

It also got us to thinking about using them to help home buyers search for homes. With the larger screens, they are much better for browsing websites that are made for them. So I took a few days and put together a mobile optimized website that I think would be great for buyers to use while they’re out driving around looking at houses. It should work on almost all the phones that have Internet access, including the Iphone, Blackberry and Droid phones. You can view photos, get details and view the home on a map complete with driving directions. This works especially great if you have the Google Maps app on your phone.

You can select from several ways to find homes, from doing a basic price range search, or by a particular neighborhood, or by the address. But the neatest way is by using your phone’s built-in GPS to find the homes that are closest to your current location.

Imaging driving by a house that you’re interested in. Just whip out your phone, access our website at www.CallElizabeth.com, and you can quickly find that house and the 9 homes that are for sale closest to it. Instantly get pictures and details about them all. And it automatically updates as you drive around, always showing the 10 closest homes for sale as you move around. (Just be sure and keep an eye on the road!)

The official mobile website is m.callelizabeth.com (no www), but if you visit www.callelizabeth.com on your phone, you should be automatically redirected to the mobile site.

So please take a look with whatever Internet phone you have, and please let me know what you think. I would love to hear how it works on different phones. Leave a comment or email me at Tom@CallElizabeth.com
