HERE ARE THE TOP 10 APPS YOU MUST HAVE ON YOUR PHONE NOW
1) RPR Mobile

Property Reports

We're fairly certain that almost every realtor has this app on their phone right now. If you don't, you should.  RPR Mobile  is the fastest, easiest way to look up property information and send branded property reports to buyers or sellers on the go. Best of all, RPR let's you send "mini reports" that have just the right amount of information for sending information to new leads


2) Waze

Traffic App

Okay, it's not technically real estate software, but if you're stuck in traffic you're not selling houses.  Waze  gives you up-to-the-minute traffic condition reports from other Waze users. It saves you time, frustration, and best of all, gas money. Waze is a must have on any realtor's smartphone.

3) Quik

Video Editor

The problem with many of video app resources is they require a hefty amount of your time to organize, edit, and optimize your recordings. There is one app, however, that does all of the nitty-gritty work for you. All you have to do is upload the photos and videos you want featured in a video montage, select some background music and a scene transition style, and boom - just like that, you have a marketing video you can share on your site. The app in question? Quik, by GoPro. Simply play around with the types of videos you can create and customizations the app provides, and, in a matter of minutes, you can have an amazing-looking real estate video that showcases off your latest listing, a celebration of a closing, or a video of your open house.

4) Tiny Scanner

PDF Mobile Scanner

Tiny Scanner turns your iPhone/iPad into a portable scanner. Scans are saved to your phone as images or PDFs. Name and organize your scans into folders, or share them by:
  • Email
  • Airprint
  • Dropbox, Evernote, Google Drive, or Box
  • Wifi directly to your computer
  • Fax using Tiny Fax

5) DocuSign

Electronic Signature

DocuSign is the easiest and most secure way to sign and get documents signed from your iPhone or iPad. With over 50 million users worldwide, DocuSign is the most widely used eSignature and Digital Transaction Management platform in the world.



6) Dotloop

Real Estate Transaction Management

Dotloop lets you create, capture and store all the paperwork required to close even the most convoluted deal with ease. You can create custom templates, send documents out for esignature, and track, collaborate, and store documents for review and compliance all on one platform. Dotloop cuts down the paperwork, faxing, and in-person signings in your average deal to pretty much zero. Dotloop will become the cornerstone of your collection of the best real estate software.


7) CamCard

Card Scanner

Scan and store business card information from a picture. Exchange e-cards when running out of paper cards. Add notes and reminders to saved contacts. Update contacts by scanning a new card.

8) Adobe Spark

Image/Video/Web Design

With Adobe Spark, you can create unique graphics, animated videos, and pages, each of which can become brand new - and high-performing - real estate marketing collateral for your business. For example you can create an explainer video for your agency, a lengthy infographic about your local market, buying and selling stats you can plaster on images and post to Facebook.

The design possibilities are literally endless with Spark - which, did we mention, is free! That's right: Simply create an Adobe account, and you have access to this top-of-the-line program at no cost. Think of the innovative platform as a means to develop creative collateral that can tell your brand story and even generate and nurture new leads (just be sure to promote the heck out of any assets you create to maximize their effectiveness!).



9) GBoard

Keyboard Shortcut

Instead of having to open up a browser on your phone, enter in your search terms, and try to find the most applicable link to share with your clients, Gboard makes it easy to search within your texting app on your iPhone or Android, meaning you can find the details you need to share with clients and send them their way, all in the matter of a minute.

While you may not save tons of time with Gboard, the convenient app can definitely help position yourself as a local thought leader and authority who can fill in clients and leads about the best stores, venues, entertainment options, and other locales around the community - something that can distinguish you from other agents in your market.


10) Bitly

URL Shortener / Tracker

The solution to prevent any click-through issues from occurring with these links is to use a link shortener, like Bitly, that can transform your 250-character URL into a brief, 40-character version. These link shorteners essentially act as a 301 redirect for your site links, meaning they still direct clickers right to the appropriate page.

While this is the main functionality of Bitly, the link shortening platform now offers a wealth of analytics associated with all of the links you create. So, if you produce an area page for a local neighborhood in your market and create different UTM links (for example, one for Twitter and one for Facebook, so you can see which source generates the most traction) and Bitly them (yup, it's a verb as well as a noun), you can see which link "wins" - that is, which source earned you the most traffic.
