Raleigh, NC (September 3, 2010) – RealUp.com, the leader in commercial real estate listings, released the best mobile application for commercial property searching available for the iPhone. The RealUp iPhone app, which is also compatible with the iPod Touch and iPad, was designed for iOS4 and includes augmented reality. Now available as a free download from iTunes, this app allows users to search, locate and access 300,000 available properties nationwide from their mobile devices.
"We are excited to be able to provide yet another free service to the commercial real estate industry," said Brian Randy Funk, President of RealUp.com. "The RealUp iPhone app puts property listings at your fingertips and is a great tool for searching commercial real estate on the go."
The RealUp iPhone app was developed with TouchCentric, a top rated mobile application developer out of Raleigh, NC. TouchCentric created many of the core features including augmented reality which utilizes the phone's compass and GPS to show digital content overlaid on real time locations. The mobile application is powered by the RealUp API which allows the search, insert, and export of property data.
"RealUp really utilized all of the capabilities of the iPhone and the result is a cutting-edge app that is just terrific," said Rob Terrell, Founder of TouchCentric. "This is an iPhone app that integrates a massive property database using a robust API to create an amazing experience for the user."
Commercial property can be searched based on multiple criteria, such as property type, price range, building size and more. Search results can be displayed in three different map views (street map, satellite/aerial, and hybrid) as well as a list view and augmented reality. The app uses the built-in GPS capabilities of the iPhone to automatically return results of the current physical location, although there is also the option to enter locations of anywhere in the nation.
Property listings in the RealUp iPhone app include all the same information found on the RealUp.com website. Listings provide detailed descriptions, multiple property photos, and access to attachments. The added benefit for listing agents and owners is that prospective buyers using the RealUp app can immediately call or email through the iPhone with just a press of a button.
