Crea APPS FOR iPHONE

The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) released its REALTOR.ca app
for the Apple® iPhone®.   The free REALTOR.ca app is provided at no cost to
consumers by Canada’s 100,000 REALTORS® and more than 100 real estate
Boards and Associations.
The app provides users with the features and functionality of REALTOR.ca
and takes advantage of Apple iPhone device features, such as:
• Properties Near Me – get up-to-date property information, photos and
driving directions;
• New Listings Near Me – recent listings in the area you’re visiting;
• Open Houses Near Me – find open houses near your present location;
• My Agent – Contact either your agent(s), or the listing agent for more
information about a specific property;
• Property Search – Search for houses and properties across Canada, and
connect with REALTORS® to view, buy or sell a property;
• Personalized settings allowing the user to set default language, unit of
measure, how properties are displayed, and search radius for “Near Me”
searches;
• Interactive BING mapping is embedded to allow focus on specific neighbourhoods;  
• Scheduled Open Houses can be added to the device’s calendar.
With the addition of the Apple iPhone app, REALTOR.ca is now available for
two of the most popular handheld device operating systems, as the Windows Phone 7® version was released in November. A BlackBerry app will be
released in February 2011.
A setup guide has been posted online at www.crea.ca.
