CRETECH

2/7/2012

We are starting to see QR Codes on flyers, business cards, and any other possible marketing material. How do you scan them and what are they? A QR Code or a Quick Response Code is a trademark for a type of matrix barcode that was first designed for the automotive industry. Anyone can create QR Codes from websites just by searching “QR Code Generator” on Google. Scanning the codes requires a smart phone with a camera and an app to read the picture or scanned image of the QR Code. Once the QR…

After getting schooled by Nate on the Photosynth app, I started to wonder, “if Microsoft has something this cool, what else is out there?…” Minutes later, I found TourWrist: this pano app just took home a “Best of Show at Macworld’s iWorld”. So, if you liked 360 Panorama or Photosynth, you’ve got to check out TourWrist. From Apple’s AppStore: With TourWrist®, iOS devices become portals. So when you point your device up, you’ll truly appreciate a new property’s grand staircase. Turning around w…

Photosynth for iPhone: Virtual Tours Galore

CRETECH

2/2/2012

CRE Apps recently posted a review on 360 Panorama by Occipital which got a lot of interest. With my curiosity piqued, I set out to look for similar apps. Low and behold, there is a one for the the iPhone called Photosynth. It is made by Microsoft, and is quite amazing. (Clarification: the app is amazing; knowing that Microsoft is making iPhone apps is more ironic…) From the product description in Apple’s App Store: Photosynth for iOS is the panorama creation app that makes it easy and fun to c…

The developer’s app description: A simple to use area and distance measurement tool for maps.

Are you curious to find out who has the most property in your neighborhood? […] This is a great tool for anyone who wants to find geographical areas or distanc…

PDF Expert on the iPad

1/31/2012

In my efforts to go “paperless” I have started using apps to fill out PDF forms and even sign documents with a stylus on my iPad. In the past I would print the document, fill it out by hand or sign it, scan the document, save it to my computer and then e-mail it out. I now open the document on my iPad and fill it out or sign the document with my stylus, save it to Dropbox, then e-mail it out. There are many different apps for signing documents on your iPad. The first one that I started using was…

Real Estate Back Of the Envelope App

CRETECH

1/30/2012

After scouring app stores for a decent commercial real estate valuation calculator (and endlessly coming up with mortgage calculator after mortgage calculator) I stumbled across a post by Joe Stampone, Best CRE Mobile Apps, in which he listed Real Estate Back Of the Envelope as one. It sounds like the developer of this app had the same problem finding one, so they ended up building one: Real Estate Back Of the Envelope is produced by Razak Company, a Philadelphia-based real estate development a…

Box verses Dropbox: What’s best for CRE?

CRETECH

1/23/2012

There have been several reviews on Dropbox and how folks in the commercial real estate industry can utilize its features most effectively. Over the last 90 days, I’ve had the opportunity to use both Dropbox and Box and wanted to give you my thoughts on how the two compare. The largest difference between Dropbox and Box is Dropbox is more of a personal file backup and sharing application, whereas Box is more of an enterprise electronic document management application. I am not the first one to ma…

Rofo has teamed up with Junaio to create the first Augmented Reality Apps for the commercial real estate industry. Maybe you’ve seen similar applications for restaurant and other service reviews, now the CRE industry has its own, too. From Rofo’s blog: If you’ve ever searched for office space you know the painful experience of walking/driving around calling on generic ‘for lease’ signs. You end up calling on 20,000 square foot spaces for your 8 person company. You probably also know that not all…
