What’s The Best Real Estate App?

We review the pros and cons of real estate apps and look at the new KW app.

What's The Best Real Estate App

My KW.com app.

Everyone has an App these days.  Banking, social media and even your favorite restaurants all have apps.  They are convenient ways to stay connected and offer many conveniences.  So when it comes to real estate Apps which one is best?

There are many large real estate websites that all have apps.  And most of them work very well.  Apps like Realtor.com, Zillow, Trulia etc.  provide similar home search functions and capabilities.  They are connected to GPS so when you are driving around or walking around you simple open your app and you’ll see all the homes for sale around you.  You’ll also see photos, prices and details.

Here is the biggest problem with these apps… they are not connected to a local agent.  These apps are not connected to a local real estate expert who is looking out for your needs and best interest.  So if you have a question or want more details on a property you may be connected to the listing agent but most of the time you’ll be sent to an agent who has paid to advertise on the app that may know nothing about the property at all.

My app also has a map function where you can draw the area you are interested in and it will pull up all available homes.

So what’s the best real estate app?  Mine of course!  My KW app allows my clients and friends and family to have all the features and benefits of the big name real estate apps with a connection to a local agent who is looking out for your best interest.  My app works nationwide.  And if you’re looking at home outside of my area of coverage I can connect you with a local agent anywhere in the country through our network of over 150,000 highly trained agents.

For 2019 our app will be totally redesigned with direct connection to every Multiple Listing Service in the country we will have the most accurate data for our customers.  If you would like a great real estate app connected with a great real estate agent download my free app now.  When the new version of the app is released your app will automatically be uploaded to the new version.  Click here to download now or Text

New Construction Homes In Egg Harbor Township, NJ Gardenia Estates

New homes starting at $220,000. Up to 4 bed, 2.5 bath, 2 car garage.

I got to tour the building site today of Egg Harbor Township’s newest community Gardenia Estates.  The community is located just off West Jersey Ave not far from English Creek road.  The development is a small community of 25 homes on a cul-de-sac.  The homes are built by DR Horton as “quick delivery” homes.

Gardenia Estates Model Home

The biggest benefit of the community is value.  Homes are priced in the low to mid $200,000 range.  For $210,840 you can purchase a 1,900 square foot home featuring 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths and a two car garage.  Home sizes range from 1,600 square feet ranch homes up to 2,867 square feet 5 bedroom and 3.5 baths.  Homes feature open layouts and 9 foot ceilings.  The home are all built on slabs and basements are not an option.  The “quick delivery” homes means that the builder in most cases has pre-selected options and colors of the homes.   If you are looking to make customization I suggest you contact me now as there may be opportunity to make changes at this stage of the construction process.

If you’re looking to build a home it’s hard to beat the value of what DR Horton is offering.  If you’re looking for a basement, more options and customization this may not be the best community for you. I work with all the area builders and would be happy to consult with you to find a home and community that meets your needs.  Please contact me and I’m happy to help.

Best wishes,

Matt
