Coldwell Banker has launched international home search applications for iPhone and Android-powered smartphones.

The Coldwell Banker Real Estate mobile app enables users to earch for property listings and recent home sales in 28 countries in North America, Europe, Central America, Caribbean, Australia and South America.  The results of these searches as well as the search itself can be saved in a personalized 'My Coldwell Banker' account newly created from the user's smartphone or added to an existing account with coldwellbanker.com by logging into the site directly from the handheld device. 

Searches that are saved to an app-created 'My Coldwell Banker' account will automatically generate notifications of new properties and open houses, alerting the user to updated results right on the device's homepage. 
 
Features of the new application include:

• GPS-based search to locate nearby homes for sale, open houses and recent homes sold.
• Ability  to sort recently sold properties by location, price and sale date.
• Option to view search results in list form or on a variety of maps including street, hybrid and satellite that are marked with "clickable" Coldwell Banker Real Estate icons.
  
• Detailed property listings that include images and a slideshow view.
• Direct dial and e-mail functions from the user's mobile handset to the local Coldwell Banker Real Estate listing agent associated with each property.
• Real-time notifications of new properties and open houses identified through the user's customized saved searches.
