As the first of a suite of real estate searches to be offered by Smarter Agent, Recently Sold Homes retrieves information including last sold price, last sold date, taxes and square footage.

Smarter Agent includes a GPS mapping function. By selecting 'Map It,' the user can see his or her location and all of the recent home sales in the area on the same map. In addition, the user can search by city and state to research multiple areas of interest, save properties to their phone, or call an agent for live support.

Covering 180 of the 200 largest markets in the United States, Smarter Agent allows consumers to conduct unlimited searches for a single monthly fee of $4.99, plus data charges starting at $10 for unlimited access or $0.02 per kilobyte for casual usage.
