Popular Real Estate Apps and Tools to Make Your Life Easier
Save Time and Get Organized with Real Estate Apps and Tools
The world of real estate moves at a fast pace. But technology helps you keep up with fun and easy to use tools for real estate professionals and home buyers.
Check some of the top real estate tools to save time and get organized:
eKey
This app allows real estate agents to use their mobile device to open the lockbox. Instead of keeping the key or code, eKey unlocks the box using your cellphone or tablet as a remote. This means you can easily program new lock boxes and carry the key with you at all times.
Some phones require you purchase an adapter, but those phones that don’t need this feature just require that you use the iBox infrared lockbox. Opening it up works like a remote — just point and click. You can see how this new method applies technology to make the process much simpler. In fact, the intelligence of the iBox allows you to customize times for showing the home so it automatically locks up afterwards
Realtor App (realtor.com)
This real estate app links home buyers to one of the top websites for real estate agents Realtor.com. The site helps you explore the latest real estate listings around you. Realtor offers a platform to search for homes and explore facts about the local area, such as schools and economic statistics, or find realtors closeby. It’s available for both Iphone and android devices
MileIQ
Are you a real estate agent who drives to meet others for a showing at the home? Then you’ll need this app to track your mileage for your records in a much easier way. Use MileIQ to better track the number of miles you’ve driven to each place you open the doors for a showing. Many people like to save receipts to keep a record of gas mileage, but the ink sometimes fades over time. It’s much simpler to have a complete record of miles driven on hand and ready to calculate costs and print when you need it
Mortgage Calculator
Calculate your mortgage with an easy estimate using this web tool. If you’re about to purchase a home or need a quick estimate of the total costs, interest, and monthly payments of a potential mortgage loan, this online Mortgage Calculator works great
US Census Apps and Tool
If you’re a new home buyer about to make a big move, then check out the local area with the most accurate stats available. The US Census provides an extensive list of online tools to get to know your new local neighborhood before making the move. Check the online database with various searches such as the American Fact Finder for community facts and local information about the area from population and average income estimates to schools and housing characteristics
Zillow
This website offers a fantastic real estate app to download and use as a simplified interface on your mobile phone. Zillow not only allows real estate agents to list homes for sale, it also connects home buyers with an up-to-date database of listings online. What makes this website such a great real estate tool is the ability to zoom in on the details of the home — literally! There’s also an option to jump to google Earth to see it from above. Which brings us to the next real estate tool
Google Maps and Earth
Most smartphones connect to interactive maps apps such as Google Maps. This means it’s much less tasking to explore the neighborhood and get a feel for the general area than ever before.
If you didn’t already know, Google’s staff has taken it upon themselves to survey the square blocks and winding paths of most of the world’s roads. Chances are that the house you’re looking for can be seen from Google Maps. In fact, Google Earth takes you down to the street view to see it “eye-level”. What an easy way to capture a glimpse of your local neighborhood from afar. Just click on the person and drag into the street next to the location for the view
