With HomeBuyDB prospective home buyers can track details of homes in a personalized fashion, easily enter home features with pop-up menus and check boxes, store pictures, take their own notes, schedule visits with iCal, make financial calculations, budget improvements, compare neighborhood home values, keep their realtors up to date, and much more.
HomeBuyDB is available as a stand-alone database for Mac OS X. A Windows version will be released at a later date.
If the buyer owns FileMaker Pro, the data file can be used directly on either platform, though it is not yet optimized for Windows. He/she may use FileMaker Instant Web Publishing in order to publish his/her database on the internet or on a LAN.
If he or she owns FileMaker Mobile, he or she can synchronize the database to a Palm OS device, thus making it easy to take notes on-the-fly during property walk throughs, and later synchronize back to the desktop database.
