The real estate industry, like so many other industries, has experienced a tremendous amount of change thanks to the introduction of innovative apps that make it possible to do more in less time. While many of these apps are specifically designed to help agents be more productive, other tools are beneficial for brokers as well as sellers, buyers, and investors. Regardless of what your role might happen to be in the real estate industry, these apps can help you to be more efficient.

1. Cam Scanner

With this app, you can quickly and easily scan documents directly using your mobile device, making it ideal for use in the field or any time when you do not have access to a scanner. Rather than rushing back to the office to transmit documents, you can instead get the job done while you are on the go. With the availability of cloud storage, this tool will also allow you to access vital documents from any location at any time. Cam Scanner is available on both Android and iOS. Considered the best smartphone app for realtors.

 

2. Dotloop

Based on a subscription-based model, this tool gives agents the ability to transmit to do lists to their clients to guide them through pre-approval and purchasing process. Pricing for the service is based on the size of your business, which makes it scaleable for rapidly growing businesses. Edits to documents can be done privately until a user is ready to share documents with other users in their loop.

This app will also allow you to add a picture or notes.
