Real Estate Professionals often ask me, “What are the hottest smartphone apps for my business?” It’s a fair question. Who wouldn’t want the best apps on their phone? Having these apps can help business operate more efficiently and possibly generate more leads.
At the NAR (National Association of Realtors) Conference in Anaheim, CA. this year, I hosted the Top Ten Apps Presentation and this had the biggest audience of my 3 different presentation topics. Secrets of Top Selling Agents recently promoted the same topic and I shared a similiar Top 10 list on that webinar. If you weren’t able to attend NAR or live on the webinar, don’t worry, here are the Top 10 Real Estate Apps to use now:
1. Homes.com Mortgage Calculator App (Free)
The Homes.com Mortgage Calculator app is great for two reasons:
1. It’s free (competing mortgage apps can cost at least $1.99)
2. It offers everything that the competing mortgage apps do, including rent vs buy, monthly payment, and interest rate calculation. This is great for agents and consumers who want to better evaluate their options. As an agent, it’s great to be able to provide answers to clients regarding payments immediately, without having call a mortgage broker. This can help build credibility as an agent and show them how valuble you are to them during this important process.
2. Craigslist (Free)
Craiglist is still extremely popular with consumers because it is free and easy to use. Rental properties seem to be more popular on Craigslist than homes for sale, but for the price, it’s worth posting your listings. There are several techniques that can be used to maximize their exposure on Craigslist, and I will be sharing those soon! (a future blog post). This app makes it much easier to manage your craigslist ads from your smartphone. Why not download the Craigslist app? There are more advanced Craigslist apps that will charge a fee, but the free app is great for managing and posting listings. Read more…
