Then there's the built in Camera and Video and Audio recorder for “self-notes”, the list just goes on and on. It can almost replace my laptop, but not just yet.

You are all right! For today, for 2010, and possibly for 2011, but what about beyond that? If you are going to be a Realtor in 2012 (and beyond), you must begin to look at who your client will be then…Our Kids, that's who! and I can assure you that they will live in a “Mobile World”, they already do. It's not about “What you get for it right now”? it's about what it will mean for your business down the road…”Invest in Your Future”. Think of all the comments about Blogging and Social Networking just 3 short years ago…”it's a waste of time”, “How much business am I getting from it now anyway”? ect, ect, ect…Ask some “Super Agents” those same questions today…Kris and Steve Berg, Jay Thompson, half of the writers on GEB…..”I'm not sayin, I'm just sayin”!

Our team here in Minnesota lives, breathes and dies with our mobile technology. I really not imagine doing this business without all of the great mobile tools that are out there. I am huge Blackberry fan with all of the awesome apps!!

In fairness, I do think that an individual agent can rock an app really well, but if every agent has an app and they simply throw it in the app catalogue and forget it, it's useless. I think there will be some indies that will shine in this category because they'll market it well. So, we'll see!

Brad – I can't post the ones I want to show you since they aren't publicly announced yet. Please send me your email address and I can share the URLs with you privately. You can reach me at . I'd happy to discuss with your clients as well.

Great Comment ManhattenRE – I think any business can benefit from the use of Mobile Technology. I use it personally for email, phone calls, GPS, searching the web, running and maintaining Social Networks, and I use mobile apps like Taxi, Yelp, Twitter and Facebook to share and collect information through-out the day when I'm on the road. Then there's the built in Camera and Video and Audio recorder for “self-notes”, the list just goes on and on. It can almost replace my laptop, but not just yet.

Love the “automatically morph services” concept Dev, would really enjoy seeing some samples or examples. Can you post a few links that I can access from my iPhone? If not appropriate here, could you email me a few? I may already have some clients to refer to you if interested. Thanks.

Brad – I agree with you. I think other industries will drive mobile services and convergence that RE can use to its benefit. However, I do believe that the mobile web will be the nucleus of all mobile marketing since it solves the issue with marketing mobile. Marketing is the biggest issue and RE professionals need an easy way to drive mobile traffic. Leveraging their website will help drive traffic to their mobileSite and from there they can link other mobile services. Also, remember that the mobile web doesn't have to just mean a viewable version of the website… it can also be a fully functional application that automatically morphs services, content, and functionality based on handset. We've done it for some of our clients already and can be a very powerful way to engage users.
