Alright, so I’m playing my favorite game, “Words With Friends”, and since I don’t have the paid version on my phone, I get the annoying pop ads like I’m sure many of you do. However, the other day, my phone started making noise. Now, typically I just look away, do whatever until I can hit the continue button and proceed with my game, but this time my phone started playing a Starburst commerical! This was a little bit harder to ignore, and definitely got my attention as I raced to turn down the volume!

Take a look at the screen shot…there is a timer that won’t let you skip the commercial until the ad is finished:

So why/how does this apply to real estate? With marketing going hyperlocal/hypersocial, you may (in the near future) be able to run a quick slide show video of all of your properties based on mobile location! I’m not saying that everyone playing “Words With Friends” will start buying houses from you, but think if Zillow or Trulia implements this type of advertising!
