Mobile Ruhl: Search Listings on Your Cell Phone
NEWS RELEASE Contact: Customer Service Office Telephone: 866-441-1776 CustomerService@RuhlHomes.com Ruhl&Ruhl REALTORS is adding another tool to your property search capabilities – your cell phone. Ruhl&Ruhl is now the first agency in the Quad Cities and surrounding region to offer Mobile Ruhl, a mobile application used to search and provide real estate listing information on your cell phone, powered by Smarter Agent. Mobile Ruhl allows users to view real time property information, displays listings on a map and has GPS capabilities to show properties for sale in the area around the user's location. Consumers are able to search almost every listing in Eastern Iowa, Western Illinois and Southwestern Wisconsin using their personal cell phones, whether it is listed by Ruhl&Ruhl or another company. "This new technology gives our clients the benefit of having all real estate listings right at their finger tips, whether at home, in the office or even in the car," said Caroline Ruhl, President of Ruhl&Ruhl REALTORS. By accessing the Mobile Ruhl cell phone application, the GPS technology pinpoints the location of the user and instantly delivers information on almost any home for sale in that immediate area. In addition, consumers can search by mapping properties, minimum/maximum price, number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms, as well as address, community name, city and zip code. Search results reveal:
- Price
- Total Square Footage
- Square Feet on each Floor
- Large Pictures
- Taxes
- Interior and Exterior Features
- Interactive Map
- Beds/Baths
- Estimated Mortgage
- Property Type
- County
- Amenities
- Appliances
- Fireplace
- Location of Baths
- Parking/Garage
- Heating/Cooling
- Utilities
Users have the ability to connect directly from the application to a phone call with an experienced Ruhl&Ruhl professional who can schedule an appointment to see a specific property. The user can also choose to save the search or share the property. Mobile Ruhl can be downloaded to a cell phone by visiting www.RuhlHomes.com and clicking the "Mobile Ruhl" icon to begin the process. The application works on 95% of cell phones across all U.S. carriers as a fully downloadable application or a premium mobile web version. Mobile Ruhl is free to download on Sprint devices, as well as the iPhone, BlackBerry devices across all carriers and Google's Android G-1. For other carriers and devices, a nominal download fee may apply, similar to the cost of a game or ringtone. The premium mobile web version is free to access."
