“My friends all laughed when I said I was a real estate expert. Then I told them about all the current listed homes - and what similar properties have sold for in our town. Now my friends think I am the next Donald Trump. They call me to help them do research, ask me who are the best real estate agent’s in town, and marvel when I tell them how to use Smarter Agent to become a savvy home buyer. It’s not a secret anymore - I was a beta tester for Smarter Agent! And now you can get all the information I can — because Smarter Agent is letting anyone use their revolutionary products and real estate services!”

“Smarter Agent takes location-based services in a new direction, delivering location-relevant content. The company’s initial application — real estate — empowers homebuyers. As compelling as that application is, the company was selected to be a part of this event because the Smarter Agent architecture could open a new and exciting variety of place-based mobile content services."

“Technology for Smarter Consumers: Smarter Agent – a real estate brokerage component and a technology component – is developing property-search technology with a consumer focus. The service provides details about property listings – all thanks to a geographic positioning system (GPS) based technology that pinpoint’s the consumer’s location, searches and locates nearby properties, and acquires and transmits up-to-date information about those properties. The new wireless technology is a ready match for the growing group of tech savvy consumers. Perhaps they should call it: Smarter Consumer.”

“Back when I was still racing bikes, I used to love looking at real estate. Give me a slice of the Multi-List, a couple of good maps, a few bottles of water and half a day to kill and I'd ride through the mountains near my old hometown of Boulder, Colorado checking out the "totally inaccessible" properties that I was partial to when reporting to work meant throwing a leg over the saddle.
By the time I bought my first house, I'd logged hundreds of miles up down and around the mountains and canyons of Boulder and had probably spent more than 200 hours in pursuit of the ideal abode. Conservatively, I must have ridden by 60 homes in the process, nearly costing myself my marriage and my broker his sanity in the process.
Today, I'm no less picky but I am much busier. What's more, I don't get paid to peddle these days so I can't afford to idly cycle around for a month checking out homes. If you've ever done the newspaper road show, you'll appreciate SmarterAgent as much as I did.
Built by licensed real estate agents who clearly know the pain of serving a client like me, their new service, particularly their wireless agent allows you to find out just about anything you want to know about any house, even if it's not for sale.
According to their DEMOfall demo, not only can they find out what your neighbor paid for his house and what the comps are in a given area, the service can help you find a famous neighbor, a district with the smartest kids or even a house with a un-secured 3 meg WiFi next door...okay maybe that last was wishful thinking but you get the idea.
It's hard to do justice to this service in works, I strongly recommend you take a moment to check out their animated demo to get a firsthand look at what their application is like. If the features and function are as comprehensive as the demonstration leads up to believe it will be, searching for real estate will never be the same."

“Never again will I have to be trapped in the backseat of my real estate agent’s car! The Smarter Agent wireless product is fantastic! I want to look for real estate on my schedule. I’m happy to use Smarter Agent to get information and then have them connect me to a top agent as they value my time.”
Response Time is Great
“I can’t tell you how many times I don’t
get an immediate call back from an agent. What a great concept.
Give me information and tools to learn about real estate, and let
the pros at Smarter Agent pre-qualify agents who are tech savvy
and responsive to my needs. I’d pay for that any day!”
[Note from Smarter Agent: You don’t have to pay! Just use
our pre-qualified Realtors™ when you are ready to schedule
an appointment.]
