See homes for sale using Twitter
Home buying can be a time consuming experience. Have you:
- Ever driven by a home for sale but the information box was empty?
- Seen a home for sale in one of our magazines and wanted to see more, right then?
Now, with the help of Twitter, HomesAndLand.com allows you to view more photos and detailed information instantly using your smartphone.
Mobile property
INFO AND PHOTOS
via Twitter
- Make sure your mobile device is already registered with Twitter (see instructions below).
- If you are looking at a home in one of our magazines, you may see the MLS Id in the property description. Look for something that looks like "MLSId: 7396326".
- Text "@homesandland 7396326" to 40404. Remember to replace 7396326 with the MLSId of the property you want to see, and don't include the quotes.
- Shortly you will receive a text message, describing the price, location, the agent to contact and a URL to more information about that property!
HOW TO SEARCH BY ADDRESS
- Make sure your mobile device is already registered with Twitter (see instructions below).
- If you drive by a home for sale, or just happen to know the address, then text the street name and city to @homesandland. The message format would be "@homesandland street, city". You can include the street number if you have it, but if you don't we will send you information about any homes for sale on that street.
- As an example, text "@homesandland elm st, tallahassee" to 40404. Remember to replace "elm st" with street name, and "tallahassee" with the correct city.
- Shortly you will receive a text message, describing the price, location, the agent to contact and a URL to more information about that property.
Registering with Twitter is quick and easy. Just follow these steps:
- From your phone, follow us by texting the following to 40404 (40404 is Twitter's number): "follow homesandland" (without the quotes).
- You will receive a message from Twitter asking you to text a new username (of your choosing) back to phone number 40404. For example, sallyjones.
