HouseQuest AR gives you a new way to explore real estate in the real world. Instead of only searching through flat maps and listing grids, HouseQuest lets you point your phone at homes around you in the real world and instantly reveal property details using augmented reality. Walk or drive through a neighborhood, explore an area you like, or simply look around and discover what’s nearby. HouseQuest brings real estate search out of the browser and into the world around you. In supported areas, homes for sale may include MLS listing information, such as property photos, listing descriptions, price, beds, baths, square footage, property details, and listing agent information. MLS listing availability is currently limited to supported markets, including areas covered by the Arizona Regional Multiple Listing Service (ARMLS). With HouseQuest AR, you can: • Discover homes around you using augmented reality • Point your phone at nearby properties to reveal available details • Explore homes in the context of the actual street, block, and neighborhood • View property information from your mobile device • See MLS listing details where supported • Save homes that interest you • Share homes with others using copyable links • Request more information about properties • Experience a more visual, intuitive, and real-world way to explore real estate HouseQuest is designed for people who want to understand homes where they actually are — not just as pins on a map. Use it while walking or driving through a neighborhood, visiting open houses, touring homes, or exploring a city. When you see a home that catches your eye, HouseQuest helps you learn more about it in the moment. Real estate has always been physical. You notice streets, yards, views, parks, schools, shops, traffic, sunlight, noise, and neighborhood feel by being there. HouseQuest is built around that reality. By combining location-aware property discovery with augmented reality, HouseQuest makes home exploration more natural, more engaging, and more connected to real life. Point your phone. Look around. Discover homes in a whole new way. HouseQuest AR: Real Estate Made Real.
