Another first for the real estate innovative leader, Coldwell Banker has once again raised the bar for the industry by partnering with Apple to create and release a new iPad app that puts our listings on center stage!

The iPad remains one of the most utilized technology devices on the market today. Coldwell Banker is now tapping into the millions of iPad users by developing an iPad app that allows users to easily search for property listings, agents and local Coldwell Banker offices.

But what really makes the app unique is its ability to take advantage of the iPad's Multi-Touch interface and large display that will allow agents to showcase our videos and deliver a great experience.

Other highlights of the app include integrated Yelp data; social media sharing capabilities; and more! To watch a promotional video of the app's functionality, click here. Users can download the app for free from the App Store on iPad, or from iTunes.

From my perspective, the answer is a resounding YES!
