NewHomesDirect.com and hotpalm.com are teaming to provide real estate brokers, agents, new home builders and consumers with wireless access to its new home listing and real estate information portal. The company says it is the first to deploy a wireless solution for the new homes market. Newhomesdirect Wireless will be accessible from any Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) enabled and Palm Handheld devices.

Newhomesdirect Wireless gives real estate professionals and consumers the ability to find new homes, builders, and communities via handheld devices based on criteria such as price, area, and number of bedrooms/bathrooms. In addition, users will be able to view details such as address, amenities and local schools plus images of homes and floor plans. Depending on device type, consumers can place a call or send an email to a property agent or homebuilder.

One and a quarter million new homes are sold a year accounting for nearly $200 billion in potential revenue for homebuilders, real estate brokers and agents, according to Newhomesdirect.com. NewHomesDirect Wireless helps homebuilders and their agents capture buyers by placing splash pages and priority listings throughout the new homes search.
