New tool to help home buyers find more information about real estate (Hint: It’s an App)

Walter Mossberg reports in today’s Wall Street Journal that the new HomeSnap App opens a new door for the increasing amount of home buyers who prefer to search for real estate on their own (without relying on a real estate agent for everything).    Among other things, HomeSnap allows you to get information on a certain property that you might be standing in front of simply by taking a picture of it!     Searching for real estate has never been easier, and I suspect more and more Colorado home buyers will be using their phones to facilitate their search in the future.   Who would ever think that if you were driving around Broomfield, Golden, Louisville, Denver, Highlands Ranch, or Boulder that you could just whip out your phone and take a picture of a home to find out how many bedrooms it has and what it might be worth.
