E035: Searching for your dream home

On this episode of the Selling St Pete podcast, I share why I am a fan of the Homesnap app.  This mobile application can be downloaded on mobile phones or can also be accessed via the web at www.homesnap.com.  Outlined below and in this episode are all the reasons I am a fan of the Homesnap app. Homenap offers a national search portal  Homesnap is syndicated with all of the multiple listing services and will immediately alert you to new listings, price changes, and any other market updates in the zip codes you want to watch.   Homesnap allows you to search by a variety of filters including but not limited to: by a specific school district, school ratings, scheduled open houses, property type, property features, listing date, lot size, HOA fees, number of stories  On certain mobile phones, the Homesnap app allows you to walk the property lines via augmented reality. You can message directly with me or the real estate agent you are working with directly in the app.  If you would like to connect with me, you can do so via this link: homesnap.com/Nicole-Saunches Homesnap's in-app messaging allows you to share homes with friends, family and your real estate agent, even if they aren't on Homesnap and their reply will go right back into the app so you can find and discuss homes all in one place. The app has a built-in mortgage calculator and net sheet so buyers can estimate their mortgage and sellers can estimate their net profit when selling their home The app allows you to draw on the map and narrow down the search to the area you want. The app allows you to type in up to five addresses and will compute an estimated commute time for the distance from the address to the property you are looking at. You can even take a photo of a property and get details, which is how the app got its name in the first place.  For homes that are actively listed in an MLS, you will be delivered a property card with all of the details and for homes that are not actively listed in an MLS you will get data from public records. I highly recommend connecting to the Selling St Pete Facebook page so you can see the corresponding video walk-through. You can do so here.  And, thanks for tuning in!
