To App, or not to App!!!

With the rave of Smartphone revolution, the word App has now become part of most everyone's vocabulary. Being a real estate trainer on technology, and an avid user of ANY device to make me more productive, I wanted to share with you some helpful APPS for the Iphone REALTORS out there!!!

Here are my favorite apps on my Iphone for real estate!

1. Dropbox for Iphone - This app lets you store all your files in a secure location, and access them from your Iphone. Imagine needing to get a signed purchase agreement to the lender, and having to return to the office just to do so...now you can. You can email any document in the form of a link. Another good app that is similar is SugarSync. Check them both out. They are both great!

2. Mail2Group - This app allow me (non-MAC user) to send emails to a group of people at once. To save me time, I put all the people involved in a transaction in one group. To provide updates to everyone throughout the transaction, just Mail2Group. A great time saver.

3. Maildash - This app is a template based email program. It allows me to set up email templates for the most common tasks that we deal with during a real estate transaction. In other words, I have a template for a new listing, home inspection, final walkthru, etc. Whenever I take a new listing, before I leave the home, I send the homeowners a thank you email for listing their home with me. I didn't have to type a thing, because it was already set up in a template for emailing.

4. Q-Checklists - This is basically a to-do list for your Iphone. This to-do app lets you create a template as well, so I developed one specifically regarding my marketing for sellers. Once everything is complete, I check it off, and send to the seller to keep them informed. A great time saver as well.

5. DaVinci - This app will sketch the measurements for the home, thus calculating living area square foot. You can then, email that information if needed, and keep in the folder for reference.

These are my top five apps. I'd love to hear from you if you liked this post, and I'll be sending my next top five as well. Hope you enjoyed my first post on ActiveRain!
