I use that all of the time, and it is supported by most smartphones.</p> <p>The issue that I found is that my customers carrying iPhones actually had better access to data on the surrounding homes than I did. The mobile MLS app did nothing to help me there, especially if the properties have not been recently listed. I can't afford to have my customers be better equipped to analyze the market than I am as a real estate agent.</p> @Vija – I agree that mobile access to our MLS is more important than Zillow.

Thank you very much for the kind words. I agree, as you might expect. I dumped my Blackberry for an iPhone, partly because of the Zillow app.
