Having your smart phone on hand can make your job much easier. You just need to know the possibilities. This week, we are discussing the best real estate apps for iPhones, Androids, and Windows Phone users. Today, we are starting with iPhone apps. Here are the top 10 iPhone apps for real estate that you should have:
Realtor
Price: Free
An extension of Realtor.com, this app separates itself from other real estate search apps because it was developed out of the National Association of Realtors’ standards. It also provides access to MLS data, which has a high accuracy rate.
LoopNet
Price: Free
LoopNet is the cousin of Zillow and Trulia, but this allows you to search for commercial real estate.
Real Estate Calc: Mortgage & Home Loan Qualification Calculator
Price: $0.99
Says what it does. Great news is that this app is only a calculator. It is not cluttered with real estate listing search engines or other deals to take you away from the app.
Open House Manager
Price: $4.99
You can use this app to manage open house attendees. Simply put the attendees in your content management system for easy contact later.
DocuSign
Price: Free
This app allows you to sign documents on-the-go and send to clients. Utilizing this app can even allow you to go paperless!
Apple Maps
It’s already on your phone, which is all the more reason you should still use it. It can easily be used to find a house’s location. You can also use Street View to find the closest bus stop, gas station, and more.
Dropbox
Price: Free
This app is something every person of every career should have, but especially real estate pros. Users can save files on their account and send a link to that file for other people to easily access.
HomeSnap
Price: Free
Users take a picture of a home for sale, then the app matches the image and GPS location to display data from MLS and other sources on price, size, and other features.
Evernote
Price: Free, or $5/month or $45/year, depending on the plan
Use this app to takes notes – however you’d like. Evernote also has its own website where your notes are stored. No more emailing yourself any notes!
Magic Plan
Price: Free, but file export plans start at $2.49/month
Follow the instructions as you take pictures of a room, then the app designs a floor plan specifically for that room, which includes dimensions, doors, and windows. These floor plans can be saved in different files types.
