"This post is part of Mashable\u2019s Spark of Genius series, which highlights a unique feature of startups. If you would like to have your startup considered for inclusion, please see the details here.  The series is made possible by Microsoft BizSpark.\nName: ForSaleByTxt.com\nQuick Pitch: ForSaleByTxt.com allows buyers to get the information they want, when they want it.\nGenius Idea: How often do you see for For Sale signs while you're driving in your neighborhood? Most of them have a contact number that you can call for more information, but if you're looking for more immediate information to consume at your convenience, ForSaleByTxt just makes sense. Sellers can use the tool for their big-ticket items \u2014 think boats, cars, houses \u2014 to let potential buyers use SMS to receive more info.\nIt's not the prettiest site, but ForSaleByTxt does offer a service that plenty of buyers want and sellers should want to support \u2014 information made available via SMS message \u2014 and it's pretty painless to use.\n\nSellers sign-up and use ForSaleByTxt to list their items and get the custom SMS information to put on their For Sale sign. Buyers can then text to the number provided to get listing details. Buyers can also reply to received texts to get the URL of the online listing, see listing photos, add their comments, or receive contact info.\nBuyers can also use the website to access the listings they requested information on, review their private text notes, and hopefully get a better idea of their interest in the available property or high-ticket item.\nRight now the service is free for both buyers and sellers, but eventually ForSaleByText will charge sellers a monthly listing fee.\nSponsored by Microsoft BizSpark\nBizSpark is a startup program that gives you three-year access to the latest Microsoft development tools, as well as connecting you to a nationwide network of investors and incubators. There are no upfront costs, so if your business is privately owned, less than three years old, and generates less than U.S.$1 million in annual revenue, you can sign up today."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
