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.

It’s an amazing app that will remember the store you loved or the great idea you came up with

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 Mortgage Calculator App (Free) The Homes 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.

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). 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.

Evernote is your one stop shop for remembering everything. You can make lists, goals, voice memos, and more with this easy-to-use app. Best of all, users can access it everywhere from any device that’s synched to your Evernote account. Evernote is free to use, as well as the smartphone app. There are premium features that cost about $5 per month, however I use the free smartphone app and the features are great!

This app isn’t fancy, but it can save your life. Unfortunately there have been situations when agents attacked or been put in dangerous situations while showing properties. This app can be used to contact 911, call friends and locate hospitals in the instance of an emergency. Real Alert offers a built-in alarm that can scare off an attacker. There is also a place to enter information about suspicious people that you can share with colleagues. It could be the best $1.99 you spend.
