Two associations of REALTORS offer REALTOR iPhone application through customized My AOR app
LOS ANGELES, CA – January 14, 2010 – (RealEstateRama) — Real Estate Mobile Technologies LLC (REMT), the New Jersey Association of REALTORS® (NJAR), and the North-Shore Barrington Association of REALTORS® (NSBAR) today announced the launch of NJAR and NSBAR Stats, the localized versions of My AOR. My AOR is the first native iPhone application developed for REALTOR® associations nationwide. The mobile application is available at no charge for members of NJAR and NSBAR. Designed for the iPhone/iTouch, My AOR features: Current loan information; association resources; the ability to search for education courses; hot item news alerts; and links to information that may be of interest to association directors.
“NJAR is excited to offer our members information on a mobile platform developed specifically for REALTORS®,” said NJAR President Judy Appleby. ”The easy customization of the My AOR app allows us to prioritize which sections are most valuable to our members when they are on the go.
“The customizable app also features consumer data, such as current loan information, enabling REALTORS® to help educate their clients about the current market and initiate conversations about lender guidelines and the availability of credit,” added NSBAR Chairperson Darla Terrell.
NJAR and NSBAR Stats can be downloaded directly from the Apple iTunes store for free, by searching for the keywords “NJAR” or “NSBAR Stats” in the Applications section. NSBAR members can acquire a members-only access code by visiting the association Web site. The access code is then entered in the “REALTOR® ID” field that exists on the application’s user profile page, providing additional application functionality.
“The customizable My AOR mobile app is a valuable business tool that helps establish connections between REALTORS® and clients,” said 2010 REMT Chairman Robert Bailey.
Application updates are distributed through iTunes. iPhones and iTouches automatically will notify users when such updates are available for installation. Additional smartphone platform capabilities also are under development.
The My AOR interface is a scalable, data-driven application that can be licensed and branded by other local and state associations from REMT.
