A possible new media tool that has not yet been created can
be a modified version of the iPhone, or smartphone, application Trulia. This
app deals with the real estate market and displays locations of homes,
commercial property, and land that are being sold. These properties are
displayed on an interactive map, similar to Google Maps. A small green icon
appears on the map, showing the location and price of the property. When you
click an icon, all of the property information comes up, including address, square
footage, taxes, pictures, and the real estate broker/company who is selling the
property. This is a very useful tool when house hunting or searching for
investment properties. What can make this app even better is a feature
involving a discussion board, or user-to-user message function that allows
buyers and real estate brokers to send messages to each other using channels
provided by the application. Also, buyers can talk to other buyers, or comment
on the properties they have seen. For example, a buyer can message a broker
about a specific property. This message from buyer to broker and vis-versa
would be linked to that specific property so the recipient of the messages will
know what property is the topic of discussion. An example of buyer-to-buyer communication
using the app can involve a situation when a home buyer sees a property on the
app that looks interesting. This buyer would be able to view the comments
posted by other buyers who may have already visited the property. The buyer who
is interested in this property can read the comments in order to make the
decision of whether or not it is worth their time to visit the property. The
buyers can also message one another in real time to discuss their personal
perceptions of the properties. I believe that this app would benefit many
property buyers, investors, and brokers, due to the new ability to efficiently
and conveniently communicate and collaborate with one another.
