Long Foster introduces VoicePad technology

---

Mark S. Holloway, vice president and Eastern Shore regional manager for Long & Foster Real Estate Inc., announced the Eastern Shore region of Long & Foster Real Estate Inc. is introducing VoicePad Mobile IDX Audio Search technology. The technology allows home buyers immediate access to the entire local homes-for-sale inventory from any telephone.

Homebuyers need only call the local number provided on Long & Foster "For Sale" signs or from real estate ads and enter the house street number to immediately hear details on any area home for sale.

VoicePad Mobile IDX is a new way of delivering property information. The description of the property is delivered via telephone in an easy-to-understand sentence format in English and Spanish 24 hours a day, seven days a week

The technology also notifies the Realtor with the listed property that there has been an inquiry and provides sellers with reports detailing the interest their home receives from potential buyers.

"We are pleased to offer such an innovative new technology to clients, customers, potential buyers and literally all parties involved in the real estate transaction," said Jeffrey S. Detwiler, president and chief operating officer of the Long & Foster Companies. "Homebuyers can now receive up-to-the-minute, automated information on their telephone about homes they are interested in by calling the VoicePad system."

Home buyers then have the option to connect directly with the agent and schedule an appointment to see the home. They may also call the Long & Foster information line and receive the estimated mortgage payment or a text message with the home's features sent directly to their cell phone or handheld device.
