Realtor.com® Enhances Popular Real Estate App for iOS and Android

SAN JOSE, Calif., July 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, realtor.com^®, the leader in online real estate, operated by Move, Inc. (NASDAQ: MOVE), announced version 5.0 of its free realtor.com^® real estate app for iOS and Android. The latest version features several key enhancements to offer users a more interactive, enjoyable and seamless house-hunting experience. Users can now view larger, higher resolution photos and share listings for the first time on social media channels including Facebook and Twitter.

In addition to sharing listings on social networks and viewing listings with larger, higher resolution photos, users will be able to quickly access shortcuts using a new shortcuts menu. iPhone and Android users will be able to view listings in a new photo gallery tab and see photos of listings without leaving search results, which will create a more visual experience to aid in the home buying process.

"The house hunting process can be cumbersome on its own," said Errol Samuelson, chief strategy officer of Move, Inc. and president of realtor.com^®. "With every new offering from realtor.com^®, we make that process easier with new tools and capabilities. We are continuing to improve and enhance our customers' experiences, and this update is another step to put consumers first and help people love where they live."

The realtor.com^® real estate app already boasts search-enhancing features including search-by-school functionality, which was added in April, and the ability to draw and create a custom search grid directly on mobile devices. Real estate agents can also use the app to connect and search with clients to help everyone stay connected while looking for a home to buy or sell.

"Our world is constantly becoming more connected, so being able to add a social element to our app for users to share their real estate journey with friends and family was an absolute must in our development," said Scott Boecker, chief product officer at Move, Inc. "The realtor.com^® app allows users to share the experience of buying and selling a home and get feedback they desire while easily navigating the market."
