We are excited about delivering a new type of mobile solution that will be fully available from within your existing website.<\/p>\n<p>Your clients will have a seamless home search experience, from Desktop to Tablet to Mobile phone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But to take advantage of this, your website must be HTML5.<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li>If you have a website from us (e.g. a Blue Fire Group WordPress website) then there\u2019s nothing for you to do.<\/li>\n<li>If you have a WordPress website hosted elsewhere then you should also be fine.<\/li>\n<li>If you have a different type of website you will need to contact your webmaster to find out if your website is HTML5.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Buying Buddy mobile application is a new widget that is automatically loaded into your site. It will be aware of the User&#8217;s device and dynamically adjust the presentation of search etc, and the MBB application to fit the environment.<\/p>\n<p>There will be no need for your clients to download special Apps. All they do is <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>always<\/strong><\/span> go to YOUR website regardless of the device they are using (desktop, mobile, tablet).<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s nothing you need to do apart from ensuring that you have a HTML5 compliant website!<\/p>\n<p>For most of you this is a non-issue as you use WordPress or have sites from Blue Fire Group. However, if you have an older site then you may need to get it updated, so speak to your Webmaster soon.<\/p>\n<p>The mobile application interface is designed to be extremely easy to use by maximizing touch screen options and minimizing any keyboard use.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here are some screenshots of what the new mobile app looks like:<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>1) Home Screen<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mbbsupport.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/home-page-MBB-mobile-app.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3849\" alt=\"home-page-MBB-mobile-app\" src=\"https:\/\/mbbsupport.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/home-page-MBB-mobile-app-168x300.png\" width=\"168\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This shows the home page of the mobile services .<\/p>\n<p>This can display your own branding (e.g. this shows Charlie Smith).<\/p>\n<p>You can also include a selection of your own custom quick searches for your clients (e.g. searches in evergreen, conifer etc).<\/p>\n<p>You will be able to configure these options in your LAC account.<\/p>\n<h3>2) Search Panel<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mbbsupport.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/search-panel-MBB-mobile-app.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3851\" alt=\"search-panel-MBB-mobile-app\" src=\"https:\/\/mbbsupport.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/search-panel-MBB-mobile-app-168x300.png\" width=\"168\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This shows the search panel.<\/p>\n<p>Clicking on any item shows a popup panel with the criteria to select.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00a03) Search Criteria<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mbbsupport.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/choose-criteria-MBB-mobile-app.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3848\" alt=\"choose-criteria-MBB-mobile-app\" src=\"https:\/\/mbbsupport.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/choose-criteria-MBB-mobile-app-168x300.png\" width=\"168\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is an example of a popup panel for choosing search criteria.<\/p>\n<p>There are a wide variety of criteria that your Users can select for their search.<\/p>\n<h3>4) Search Results<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mbbsupport.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/search-results-MBB-mobile-app.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3852\" alt=\"search-results-MBB-mobile-app\" src=\"https:\/\/mbbsupport.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/search-results-MBB-mobile-app-169x300.png\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This shows the list of search results with additional options to flip to map-view too.<\/p>\n<h3>5) Property Details<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mbbsupport.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/property-details-MBB-mobile-app.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3850\" alt=\"property-details-MBB-mobile-app\" src=\"https:\/\/mbbsupport.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/property-details-MBB-mobile-app-169x300.png\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here you can see the Property Details panel.<\/p>\n<p>As you scroll down, property details are all shown along with all the property photos.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stay tuned for more on the brand new Buying Buddy mobile application!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Buying Buddy&#8217;s mobile app solution is in its final stages of development and we hope to have this live very soon.
