PropertyMaps.com Unveils Its Visual Information Technology for BlackBerry Phones
PropertyMaps.com announces it has joined the BlackBerry Developer Alliance and has released the world’s first map-based real estate search for BlackBerry and other Java-based smart phones.
Sarasota based PropertyMaps.com has launched its free JavaME application that combines interactive map-based searching, wireless technology, and legal access to Mutiple Listing Service property listings. PropertyMaps Mobile installs Over-the-Air to Java and Internet-enabled phones simply by pointing the phone’s browser to www.PropertyMaps.com/pmm, where the user is auto-directed to the download page if the phone model is supported.
Currently only BlackBerry phones are supported during the testing phase. Within two months PropertyMaps plans to launch versions compatible with Treos, and later .NET versions compatible with Microsoft enabled phones.
Regular internet cell phones can currently access www.PropertyMaps.mobi, which is the world’s first real estate search site specially developed for the Internet’s new mobile-only top level domain.
About PropertyMaps
PropertyMaps.com develops visual information technology that enables people to quickly search and easily perceive millions of real estate listings by plotting their locations and other market data overlays onto popular aerial mapping tools such as Google Maps and Google Earth. PropertyMaps.com is the first map-based search to provide legal access to the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) databases that are used by millions of Realtors® nationwide. Additionally, PropertyMaps is the first to deliver this technology wirelessly to Internet-enabled phones, PDAs, GPS-enabled and other mobile devices. “We believe that pinpointing the exact location of for-sale listings before investing the time into long driving tours is the future of home buying and selling on the Internet,” states the company President, John M. Beck. All of PropertyMaps software services are made available to the public free of charge.
Sarasota based PropertyMaps, Inc has partnered with Silicon Valley’s Rockbridge Group for consulting and investment brokering services. The company expects to finalize Series A funding by the end of the second quarter of 2007.
