Missoula, Montana – October 11th, 2010 – Continuing to expand its MLS footprint in the US real estate marketplace, Goomzee®, a leading provider of mobile technology solutions that connects buyers and sellers, today announced it has agreed with the Arizona Regional MLS (ARMLS) to provide its product, Realty Mobile, to their members and revolutionize how Arizona homebuyers and sellers receive real estate listing information on their cell phone.
By utilizing Goomzee’s proprietary mobile technology, the nearly 32,000 ARMLS real estate agents and their clients will be allowed to search the MLS for homes using any phone with a browser and Internet connection. For agent users, the service brings the MLS data to their cell phone and allows them to stay connected while away from their desk. MLS members can perform quick searches, advanced searches, or map searches and contact the listing agent with a single click on their phone. They can also access private information such as showing instructions, original list price, days on market, and agent remarks.
Goomzee’s Realty Mobile enables agents to also provide a branded mobile listing search tool to their clients and perspective buyers so they can search and access listing information on their own using a cell phone. The potential buyer receives an invitation link from the agent to use the application. When clicked from their phone, the link guides them through creating their mobile search account. They can then search for active listings on a map or by specific search criteria. When they find listings they like, they can save them, add them to a favorites list, make notes for future reference, and even share them with a friend.
“This is an exciting tool for all Realtors® on ARMLS. It will allow our agents to deliver instant information to potential buyers using cutting edge mobile technology," says Bob Bemis, CEO for Arizona Regional MLS. "ARMLS’ goal is to provide Realtors® with the best tools and information available in the industry. We are proud to create a relationship with Goomzee that will increase our members' efficiency, professionalism, and value."
The most recent agreement increased Goomzee’s market share beyond 20 MLS organizations and 41 REALTOR associations throughout the United States.
Goomzee CEO, Mike Sparr noted, "Progressive organizations like ARMLS and their members can use our technology to help connect with today's mobile consumers. We are excited to be chosen by ARMLS and look forward to adding further value and efficiency to their members.”
“Realty Mobile gives brokers and agents a tool to further strengthen their client relationships and improves productivity when out of the office,” said Sparr. “By offering consumers a branded mobile real estate search experience, agents can cement their position as the trusted source of information and reduce the risk of buyers going to another agent when they are ready to make an offer.” About Arizona Multiple Listing Service Arizona Regional Multiple Listing Service (ARMLS) was incorporated in 1982 to consolidate the property listing efforts of autonomous boards across the Valley into a single system.
