All Apps Not Created Equal
The biggest issues with Non-MLS integrated Search Portals is inferior data. About 20-30% of the homes on the market do not display on these apps (accept Realtor.com). If you prefer to have a professional do the searching for your Portland real estate, I’ll learn your preferences and sift through listings every day. Emailing only the best suited listings to your needs. That way your inbox isn’t filled with junk listings.
Urbanvue.com is Mobile Responsive, so without downloading an app you can search all listings from any device. The layout is clean and fluid!
