iPad apps for REALTORS®: DropBox

by on May 31, 2011 | Careers and Training, Technology

DropBox rocks! It’s an extremely useful iPad app for REALTORS®. DropBox allows you to share/store files online, aka in the cloud!

When you install DropBox on your Mac or PC, it creates a custom file folder on your computer that automatically syncs whatever you add to it. All you have to do is save a document in it and that file will be available on your iPad, Droid, iPhone, and online DropBox account. Check it out…

(If video does not display, click here to watch DropBox Demonstration.)

The best part about DropBox, it’s $FREE.99 to get started. Another reason I recommend it for the iPad; it integrates nicely with SignMyPad. You can pull/push documents between the two apps. Click here (on your iPad) for the iTunes link to download.

iPad apps for REALTORS®: SignMyPad

Next up on my iPad apps for REALTORS® list is SignMyPad. This app allows real estate agents to capture signatures directly on the iPad. Since screenshots don’t do this app justice, I put together this video demonstration.

I know some real estate agents may prefer to offer their clients a stylus to sign their iPad so here is link to a 3-pack for $20.

iPad apps for REALTORS®: OpenHomePro

by on May 10, 2011 | REALTOR® Marketing, Technology

OpenHomePro is an iPad app for REALTORS® that increases agent productivity. In the iPad for Real Estate class that I attended last week, Desiree Montgomery talked about the benefits this app has over paper sign-in sheets.

Before OpenHomePro…

To capture prospects contact information REALTORS® had to find, open, and print open house sign-in sheets. They would leave them by the front door and ask people to sign-in. Some would, some wouldn’t, and some would write so sloppy they might as well have declined.

Once the open house ended, said REALTOR® would take the list back to the office and start the data entry to keep in touch with all the new prospects. You remember those days.

After installing OpenHomePro…

Now REALTORS® have a renewed sense of excitement for open houses.  Instead of asking prospects to sign a paper sign in sheet, there’s an app for that. When a prospect arrives at the home they are handed an iPad to “play with” aka sign-in. Prospects immediately notice you are different than all the other REALTORS® they came in contact with that day. The iPad even breaks the ice; starting conversations about how you run your business.  Mission accomplished.

Of course I’m just having a little fun telling this story, but I don’t think it’s far from the truth. After the open house is over, the app allows you to export the day’s prospects.  No more data entry. Also, in the event you change the price on the home, it’ll send an email to all the people that signed-in.  Way slick.

The best part about this iPad app for REALTORS® is the cost = $FREE.99. Now go win yourself an iPad so you can start impressing prospects that walk in your open houses!

The guys over at 1000 Watt Consulting wrote a great article about this app back in September.
