New SIR Mobile App For House Hunters on the Go

New Hope, Pa. (Dec. 9, 2010): Today Sotheby's International Realty and Smarter Agent launched SIR Mobile, a free app for home buyers that is unique because it works with iPhone, Blackberry, Android, Palm and just about all standard cell phones across all carriers in the U.S. with an international version coming soon.

The SIR Mobile app allows consumers to view U.S. MLS listings and those from the Sotheby’s International Realty network anytime, anywhere. Users have the ability to search all IDX properties based on GPS location, address, city or zip code. The application displays detailed property information, including price, beds/baths, taxes, estimated mortgage, features, maps, high quality photos and more. When the user is ready to see a property, the “Call” feature connects the user directly to a Sotheby’s International Realty sales associate.

"This is a tool that we anticipate will become increasingly popular as more consumers adapt to an increasingly mobile marketplace," said Donald Pearson, chairman, Kurfiss Sotheby's International Realty. "It is extremely simple to download and use and will no doubt be particularly useful for buyers who are new to the area in which they are looking for a home."

To begin using the app, text SIR to 87778 or visit your cell carrier's app catalog and search the term "Sotheby's."
