Review: Real Estate App for House Hunting

Looking for the best real estate app for finding a new home?

The New York Times in the article Quickly Zeroing In on New Places to Call Home, reviewed the leading apps at that time, Real Estate by Zillow and Zillow Real Estate, Real Estate by Trulia, and Redfin Real Estate.

We have just released a brand-new app. If you would like to use your mobile device for house-hunting, would you download it and try it out? I’d love to hear how you think it compares.

The listings are more accurate and current than Zillow and Trulia, and it is GPS-enabled, so you can see every home for sale wherever you are located.

To get the app, on your smartphone or iPad, go to http://carlynlowery.exprealty.com/app.php. Be sure to use this link, so that any messages you send will go directly to me, automatically, rather than some unknown agent or advertiser.

By the way, who do you know who could benefit from this app and my services? Please share this article and invite them to try it out!

Looking forward to your feedback, and of course, your questions about any of the homes on the market.

P.S. Considering a move? Please call for a confidential chat. Your personal needs, wants, and finances are my priority and my passion and my specialties run from waterfront luxury estates to distressed properties.

Call me today for your Annapolis real estate needs, or for an introduction to a great real estate agent anywhere.

Annapolis waterfront home sales are picking up, with sales up 19% this year so far, compared to this time last year!

We recently listed a great property on the waterfront near the marina in Hillsmere. The views are amazing, the construction quality outstanding, and the community amenities are some of the best in the area.

This 3,607 square-foot home has expansive views of the Chesapeake Bay, and on a clear day you can see Poplar Island on the Eastern Shore. The great room, bar and fabulous chef’s kitchen are open and perfect for everyday living, and especially impressive for entertaining.

The master bedroom is conveniently located on the first floor, along with another bedroom. On the lower level is the third bedroom or office, and an additional bonus room that can also serve as an office.

Annapolis Boat Shows and Homes for Rent

Annapolis Boat Show 2011

The boat shows were such fun, not only seeing the boats, also getting together with friends and clients! Shopping for water front and water privileged homes around Annapolis, we found some nice buys.

I also really enjoyed touring the yachts including some of my favorites… Hinckleys, Shannons, Nordic Tugs, and Vicems!

What was your favorite?

Annapolis Boat Shows and Annapolis Waterfront Homes

The Annapolis Sailboat Show is coming up this weekend, and the Annapolis Powerboat Show will be next weekend. The Annapolis Harbor and Spa Creek are already filling up with a variety of beautiful yachts, and the anticipation is building!

The official web site for United States Yacht Shows calls these “The United States Sailboat Show” and “The United States Powerboat Show.” Fancy names for what we locals usually just call “the boat show”. We will be welcoming about 150,000 guests to historic Annapolis over the next two weeks for these boat shows. These shows offer a fun and easy way to explore a tremendous variety of yachts, have experts answer all your questions, and perhaps make a deal on the boat of your dreams.

For the sailboat show, trade, press, and VIP day is this Thursday October 6, 2011, 10-6, and general admission is Friday, Saturday and Sunday 10-630, and Monday 10-5. When the show ends, don’t miss the tear-down party at Pussers Caribbean Grill at the Marriott Annapolis Waterfront, as the crews race to clear out the harbor as fast as possible, so that the powerboats can enter!

Then the powerboat show begins on Thursday October 13, 2011, for trade, press, and VIP day from 10-6, and then general admission Friday and Saturday 10-630, and Sunday 10-600.

And by the way, why stop with the dream yacht? Beautiful jewelry and luxurious waterfront homes are also to be found!

Waterfront Homes for Sale in Annapolis Maryland

Dreaming of a waterfront home in Annapolis Maryland? It’s that time of year when the Chesapeake Bay calls, drawing those who love the water to find a way out, by canoe or kayak, sailboat or powerboat, cruising or fishing, and quite often, enjoying a sunset cocktail.

And sooner or later, the idea dawns, “Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a home on the water?”

In addition to being a wonderful weekend destination, Annapolis is also a wonderful place to live. Being close to Washington, DC, and Baltimore, Annapolis residents enjoy all the resources that those cities provide. At the same time, Annapolis is a small historic town sited on the Severn River on the shore of the Chesapeake Bay, with a rich cultural heritage and lively activities.

Annapolis is the state capital of Maryland, home to the United States Naval Academy and St. Johns College, the National Sailing Hall of Fame, and more. Annapolis is known as the “Sailing Capital of America.”

In 2000, the U.S. Census Bureau reported a population of 35,838 (not including 4,264 residents at the Naval Academy or students at St. John’s College). (We are eagerly awaiting the 2010 data; the city has grown!) More than 4.5 million people visit Annapolis each year.

Annapolis is located in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. The county harkens back to the 1600’s, and is very closely tied to the water as it borders on the Chesapeake Bay. In fact, the county has 437 miles of waterfront. The county is also blessed with historical sites in abundance.

From Annapolis, it is easy to reach Washington, DC, Baltimore, Baltimore-Washington International Airport (BWI), or almost any destination in the Washington, DC Metro area.

Here are some waterfront homes in different price ranges, to help you dream and explore…
