CREA has launched a new mobile application of Realtor.ca for Windows Phone 7.

The app provides house hunters with the functionality of Realtor.ca while taking advantage of Windows Phone 7 device features such as GPS.  The app allows users to search for houses and properties across Canada and to connect with Realtors to view, buy or sell a property.  Photos, newly listed properties and open house information are all available.

Using the handheld’s GPS technology, and the Realtor.ca search function, users can search for properties near their location and get driving directions too. Interactive Bing mapping is embedded to allow consumers to focus on specific neighbourhoods.

The Realtor.ca app was developed through a partnership with Microsoft Canada and Navantis. CREA says the app will be available for other handheld devices in the coming weeks.  Plans are currently underway for iPhone and BlackBerry versions.
