Those looking to buy a new house will soon be able to do so with the help of of their smartphone camera. Just simply taking a photo with a point and a tap, they will be able to discover new houses for sale on-the-go.
You’re walking down the street and happen to see a condominium you may be interested in renting or buying. Unfortunately, you don’t know the name or spelling of the property which makes it tough to find out more details.
