5 Productivity-Boosting Apps Every Real Estate Professional Needs
It’s amazing how technology makes life easier for everybody. For real estate professionals, using the right apps and tools is essential to business productivity.
With that being said, we have listed the five most important apps you as an agent or broker can use to improve your operations.
1. Dropbox
Cloud services are becoming popular nowadays. And it’s not because they’re a trend everyone has to follow. It’s what we can use them for that matters the most.
Aside from providing an effective backup storage, cloud services can help you streamline the workflow of your real estate staff. Dropbox, in particular, helps improve collaboration by letting you share files to people who can access them. For example, you can use Dropbox to send a database of leads to your virtual workforce. Your offshore staff will receive the list in real-time and take immediate action to reach out to these leads.
2. Evernote
Are you having trouble keeping track of every idea that comes along? It looks like you need an app that helps you record everything you need to stay ahead.
With Evernote, you can record your thoughts, write articles for your next blog posts, or manage your daily to-do lists. Basically, the app is good for creating documents you can sync across all devices. With its minimalist design and user-friendly interface, Evernote is a handy tool for the travelling professional. It’s perfect for when you want to write down essential bits of information during a business meeting over coffee.
3. DocuSign
What comes to mind when you say “real estate”? Lots and lots of paperwork!
And also, signatures. A lot more of them.
For sure, writing your initials on a document has to be one of the most mundane tasks you need to do. This is the reason why apps like DocuSign were created. DocuSign makes it easier to collect signatures and send documents for signing. The app also allows for a faster way to authenticate contracts securely. You won’t have to wait a long time before you get the needed documents signed by the right people.
4. GoConnect
Client satisfaction should always be your top priority. But you have to admit, handling the needs of each client at the same time can be tedious at times. It’s also easy to lose track of appointments and activities when you are handling a large CRM and contact database.
GoConnect can save you time and energy by providing you with a scalable CRM platform. Stay up-to-date on upcoming meetings and effectively organize events in the palm of your hand.
5. Canva
If you are set on building a robust real estate business, you need to have the right creative elements in place.
You can’t become an artist overnight, but you can still create engaging visual content using Canva. The desktop app provides an easier way to design infographics, newsletters, logos, presentations and just about anything you need to build your brand. You can up the creative ante by having a virtual assistant design these for you using Canva. After all, it’s a part of their job to make your brand more compelling to your audience.
