4) Relationship Management App

• Cloze

A good Customer Relationship Management (CRM) app is imperative in real estate. CRM systems not only store contacts and their information but provide automatic reminders so you can keep in touch with them and grow relationships. These apps can help you manage deals and tasks, send you project status reminders so you stay on top of what's most important, and some even integrate with other services like Office 365 and LinkedIn.

5) DocuSign

If you haven’t used DocuSign, you must be living under a rock. No longer do we need to have clients meet us at the office to sign documents. With digital document you can take advantage of electronic signatures on the fly. Sign contracts, counter offers, approval notices, etc. all on your smart device.

6) Real Estate Transaction Management Software 

• SkySlope
• Dotloop
• Brokermint

Real estate transaction apps not only keep track of transaction stages, but the listing information and all contacts associated with them too. You can track communication with your clients and contractors and view in an outline format. Checklists are available to help ensure you check every box as you work to close a sale. 

7) Expensify  

You know the pain of trying to keep track of your receipts -- gas, travel expenses, staging, etc. What a headache! Now you can use Expensify to scan receipts and compile them in one place for quick reference. No more shuffling through a box of receipts at tax time.

8) Swipeable Virtual Keyboards  

• Gboard 
• Swiftkey 

Save time when texting by tracing the word across the alphabet on your cell phone  keyboard. No more typos and you can take advantage of word prediction.

9) Spacio  

Digital open house sign-in sheets, like Spacio, make it easier to gather signatures from open house guests and deliver them to your CRM software. After a visitor signs in, you can add notes about them, then Spacio does a social profile and scores them. The information will help you provide focused marketing information, such as specific property details they may not have received at the open house, so you can make a good impression and get them into your sales funnel.

10) Digital Marketing Material  

• Canva
• Crello

When creating posts for social media, an infographic for a presentation, an e-book, flyer, your bio, etc., you can use these apps to quickly and easily create professional looking marketing material. Crello even offers a real estate category to save you time -- simply add some new text to an existing template, download and post. You can also create animated images that will catch the attention of those quickly scrolling through social media.
