House-hunting wireless listing
Dons of real estate looking for a house-selling stranglehold would be wise to opt for NaWire's
Mobilistings Wireless MLS which updates new home listings to wireless devices like BlackBerrys (though that pic at right looks totally fake), Treos and Pocket PCs. Currently only available to real estate professionals, Mobilistings is refreshed every 10 to 15 minutes, and enables realtors to stay on the road to continue their house-showing frenzy instead of heading back to the office for a new house listing printout. It's only available in 5 east coast states and costs $30 per month, but NaWire is looking to launch a consumer-based site for independent house hunters next year. While it might be just as easy for realtors to call the office and get an oral update, the tech could wow the swooning home-buyer, and as salesmen say,
you sell the sizzle, not the steak, right?
