Kombrink Team Brings Home Searching to Your Cell Phone

November 14, 2006 — The Kombrink Team at RE/MAX Excels in Geneva, Illinois is on the cutting edge once again by offering home buyers the chance to search Chicagoland homes right from their cell phone.

Recognizing that home buyers in this digital age prefer to remain anonymous, this service allows them to get information on virtually any home they may drive by, or see in the local paper.  The Kombrink Team has made home searching easier by delivering the information home buyers want – on demand.

Using their web enabled cell phone, home buyers can look up price, status, room count and more for thousands of homes in Northern Illinois.  This service is absolutely free of charge to the consumer and works with many models including Motorola, LG, Samsung, Kyocera, Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Palm and Blackberry.

Home buyers wishing to search Chicagoland homes from their cell phone simply register at http://kombrink.signscout.com.  All they need to provide is a valid e-mail address so they can get a validation link to verify their free account.  Then, every time they see a home, they simply enter the house number and street name for complete details.
