LoopNet’s iPhone App is “Awesome”

This year at ICSC RECon 2010, we got the pleasure of talking to Jim Rufus from Sperry Van Ness. Jim is one of thousands of LoopNet iPhone App users and in this short video, he describes the iPhone App as “awesome”.



How are other people using the iPhone App? Here are a few stories that were recently shared with us at ICSC RECon:

Information On-the-Go
One member was recently golfing with a client. The client spotted a property for lease nearby and remarked that he would like to know the asking rent. The broker told his client to finish his putt while he pulled out his iPhone and started the LoopNet App. The LoopNet App immediately recognized the broker’s location via GPS and up came the property for lease. The broker told his client the property was on the market for $24/SF. His client was floored that his broker found the information so quickly.

Be the First to Know
A member was showing her friend all the multifamily properties for sale near Lake Travis, TX. While looking at multifamily properties, she came across a land parcel that was priced at $7,500. For the market she was in, this surely must have been a mistake. She called the listing broker immediately from her iPhone, discovered it was a listing that had JUST been posted and immediately bought the property. As soon as the deal was done she re-listed it on LoopNet for $45,000.

How are you using your iPhone App? We'd love to hear your stories.

Get the App on iTunes

how about an app for Android??

This is great. When will a similar app be available for the Android or BlackBerry platforms?

FlaPropertyFinder said...

Is there an Android App for those of us who don't have AT&T?

Does loop net have an app for the Android? This seems like an incredibly useful tool, but a lot of agents are not on the iphone system.

I saw the post and watched the video, and I can't believe that everyone is saying the same thing. I have the HTC Incredible, which is basically the droid, and I couldn't find this app in the market. If verizon had the iphone, I'd happily check it out, but ATT just doesnt have the service that I need. Well anyways, just like everyone else, wish that it was on the droid. Thanks for making us aware of whats out there.

Cool to know... will have to go grab it. Seems much more widely usable than a residential based app like Trulia/Zillow because of the wandering do-a-deal anywhere that makes sense nature of most investors...

This is a wonderful opinion. The things mentioned are unanimous and needs to be appreciated by everyone.

Cool app...

Like the other posters, I would like to have the same for Blackberry...any chance it is in the works?

Or maybe this is just another excuse I am looking for to switch to the iPhone :-).

No way!!! That is so awesome! I agree with the others (loosers like me who still don't have an iPhone) it should be made for other platforms too. That really is a great piece of technology.

android phones said...

very cool app, but it should be also for Android mobiles and BlackBerry too

mike said...

so I take it that the answer is 'no' to being android friendly?

Kelly - Marketing Team said...

"no" is never a good response Mike! We're looking into it and will keep our members informed of any new developments on this.
