Being a realtor is no easy feat. It means having to manage hundreds (and even thousands) of contacts, location tours left and right not to mention the paperwork that comes with every transaction. There’s just so much that needs to get done on a daily basis. 

Thankfully, technology is here to save the day! There are numerous apps and software in the market designed to make every realtor’s life a breeze. But you need to make sure that your apps would actually help and not simply add more work and clutter for you. Instead, take a look at our recommended apps to help you do more (in no particular order):

Google Maps 

Google Maps is an invaluable tool for real estate agents. It offers an array of functionalities that will make your life easier. One of which is the map builder which lets you create custom map that you can share with your customers, which showcases all the listings or location they are interested in. Another cool feature of Google Maps is the Street View which provides the customers a different perspective of the property apart from the official photos on your website or property listing.

Microsoft OneNote

Keep track of all your notes and to-do lists in one app. With Microsoft OneNote, you can connect your smartphone to your computer and it automatically syncs all notes, saved web pages/links, articles and even photos on all your device. It also allows file-sharing which means you can send your documents by email through the app.
