The best apps for real estate agents
Before helping a client buy or sell a home, real estate agents must first keep their own organizational houses in order. This requires putting in place the infrastructure you need to meet and communicate with clients, help them find and view the home of their dreams and sign on the dotted line.
The best apps for real estate agents will help you check off all these items on your agent to-do list and more. Keep reading to find out which real estate apps make the cut.
Microsoft OneNote
Whether you need to capture on-the-fly questions from clients or a rough drawing of a floor plan, you can easily take down and organize your daily to-dos with OneNote. The app (iOS, Android) acts as a digital notebook that lets you create notes and drawings. When you use the app on a tablet, you can create all of these in a personalized, handwritten format using a wide range of pen colors and options.
When you're finished virtually jotting down your thoughts, search, sort and share them with your business partners or clients. Because the app syncs these files across your other electronic devices, you'll never lose an important document again.
DocuSign
Still making your clients wait days for the paper copy of a buyer's contract or a lease agreement? Speed up sales by incorporating the DocuSign app into your real estate transaction workflow. The app (iOS, Android) lets you and clients create a custom digital signature and then use it to virtually sign any document scanned into the app through your phone's camera or uploaded to the app from the cloud or an email attachment in a variety of popular file formats such as PDF and Microsoft Word. DocuSign digital signatures are as legally binding as a physical signature, but far quicker, more convenient and more secure to capture from anywhere in the world.
