Looking to buy or sell a home? There's an app for that

I love looking at houses. I often stop at open houses on a whim (even though I’m not in the market), and one of my favorite warm-weather activities is cruising around at night, catching glimpses into people’s homes through open windows.

The window-peeping is all very innocent, I assure you; my interest is done from street-level in my car, and my intent is totally research. I check out the colors people are painting their rooms, and I get landscaping ideas from green-thumbed homeowners in my community.

As well as inspiring projects at my own home, like lots of people I also love knowing the asking prices of houses, especially those in my neighborhood. In these days of tumbling home valuations, it’s good to keep an eye on what the market is doing.

The Realtor.com app I just downloaded from Realtor.com is a great one for house junkies like me, and it’s sure to become one of my favorites.

Welcome to RE/MAX Platinum Online, the future of real estate sales

RE/MAX Platinum is poised to go where no real estate firm has gone before, which is full-tilt into the digital age with a new website featuring information, trend stories, personality profiles and agent blogs.

The new site — Platinum Online — is unlike any other real estate website. Rather than just a place for customers to get mortgage rates and view listings, the site will serve as a clearinghouse and virtual place for anyone wanting to network, share information, meet people, ask questions and get answers, and gain perspective about all things real estate.

As social media site Facebook explodes, and information gets transmitted instantaneously via Twitter, Joe DeKroub, the principal owner of RE/MAX Platinum, sees great energy and potential in cyberspace.

“It’s like a cocktail party,” he said. “It’s a place to get information, not to sell inventory. It’s a place to socialize, and ask and answer questions.”

The new website, which has been under development for several months, will bring together customers, agents and information in an effort to serve and generate sales leads.

“When you go into the Internet world and type...
