What’s top of list for handy house hunting tips? How about a mobile app that allows a realtor to record ‘creep data’ on suspicious individuals? Think of how useful that would be. Those little details are easy to forget in a day’s busy schedule.
Realtors might also appreciate this nifty little app: LogMeIn. It provides a realtor in the field with WiFi access to his or her personal computer using a virtual mouse. At any time, from almost anywhere you can tap data on a specific listing via that handy digital assistant.
If you’re not already using DropBox, you should be. One of the best assets that will switch that ‘For Sale’ sign to ‘Sold’ are high-resolution photos of the property. Having a gorgeous photo gallery of each home you’ve listed right at your fingertips is a realtor’s most potent strategy to move inventory. When you put a prospective buyer ‘in the picture’ via a digital photo gallery, you’re helping the prospect envision a particular home as their home.
Here’s another important tip: Organize properties in individual Dropbox folders so you can quickly locate a photo gallery on the fly. Attempting to email mega files is not advisable and some clients will not appreciate having their email client rejecting messages due to a maxed-out inbox. Important messages may bounce. A realtor might want to consider adding more capacity to their email storage.
Digital technology makes a realtor much more productive and gives prospective buyers more options for discovering that one-of-a-kind dream home. That’s why a realtor should be well equipped with the latest mobile tech.
