It’s practically impossible to remain unchanged in the fast -evolving partnership of business and technology. From social media campaigns to company app development, nearly every business has adapted to technology changes in some capacity and the benefits from technology are endless for many different professions.
Even the real estate industry has been impacted by app development. With many options available, realtors can improve their efficiency, gain loyal clients, and rack up a multitude of referrals with a few key apps.
Let’s take a look at 5 of the best apps for realtors:
1. Zillow
Because Zillow is free, there is no excuse why any realtor wouldn’t download it. Managing and locating properties is made simple through this well-designed real estate app. Although the features on this app are very similar to Trulia and Realtor.com, the reliability of Zillow trumps the other. Referring clients to a listing on Zillow simplifies the agent’s job and provides an excellent resource for the client as well.
2. Dropbox
This app is a great asset for any career, but real estate agents certainly can benefit from Dropbox as well. Since realtors spend a large part of their day showing properties to their clients, having instant access to important documents away from the office is essential for success. From emailing contracts to accessing a listing agreement, Dropbox makes it possible to access information on the go.
3. Scanner Pro
Paperwork is a substantial part of a real estate agent’s job. With Scanner Pro, sending signed documents to the appropriate places becomes easy. The app scans the document, saves it as a file, and allows the person to quickly send the information in the right direction. Stay up to speed by using Scanner Pro and throw out that old fax machine.
4. Fantastical 2
Because real estate agents typically work independently, downloading this app is like gaining a built-in personal assistant that goes with you everywhere. Much of the job involves making appointments, attending showings, and going to closings. With this type of busy schedule, an agent needs a simple way to access his or her schedule in order to arive punctual and organized.
5. Mortgage Calculator
Realtors can offer an important service to each client by quickly calculating the details of a potential mortgage. This app will combine every factor of the mortgage to provide accurate details concerning monthly payments, interest rates, and more. It also can give a payoff prediction, which gives prospective buyers motivation to stay committed to their payments.
The most important part of the real estate industry is putting the client first. Apps simply help to achieve this goal, whether it means making the meeting on time or helping clients find their dream home. Investing in a few apps can greatly improve the success of a realtor.
