Realtor.com Real Estate, Homes review

Realtor.com Real Estate, Homes is a must-have tool if you're house hunting, apartment shopping, or just checking out the neighborhood. It automatically finds and displays local listings on a versatile, searchable map view. Listings include interior and exterior photos, descriptions, and useful links.

Pros

Functional interface: While Realtor.com Real Estate, Homes' exterior is plain, its interior is well furnished. Maps, photos, and videos loaded and transitioned smoothly. The Navigation Drawer stays open instead of closing too quickly. There are plenty of options, including access to your Realtor.com account.

Area Scout & Tap for nearby: Buttons jump to nearby listings, schools, rentals, and more on the local map. The optional Area Scout automatically updates as you zoom or scroll.

Versatile maps: The app retrieves and displays listings as you zoom or scroll on the map. We could turn off sold listings via toolbar, draw circles to search, toggle between satellite or map views, and much more.

Agent features: Realtors can access agent-only features, including tools for connecting and collaborating with clients.

Cons

Safe scouting: A warning message makes it clear that the Area Scout is not a navigation app and should never be used as one, especially when you're driving. Let Realtor.com Real Estate, Homes find the place, and let your GPS or navigation app get you there.

Shop around: For houses or hotel rooms, we always recommend checking more than one price-checking app or site. Most have similar results, but great deals can be found by double-checking.

Bottom Line

Realtor.com Real Estate, Homes stays with you from house hunting to house buying. If you're in the market for a new property, start here.
