5 Real Estate Apps Every Agent Should Try

Let me guess—you're addicted to your phone. Real estate agents are always on the go, making their mobile devices crucial to the way they run their business.

While you probably have your go-to apps for helping you get through the day, I want to introduce you to a few of my most favorite real estate apps that can make your life as a busy agent a little bit easier.

Try out these five real estate apps and see if they can help you accomplish more tasks in a shorter amount of time:

1. Waze

Real estate agents spend a lot of time in their car travelling to meetings, presentations and open houses. While there are plenty of apps to give you directions, Waze goes a step further.

By using community-based information from users, you'll get real time traffic and road information, saving you precious time and mileage.

Waze will give you road alerts, route recommendations, and even the cheapest gas prices in the area. It's a terrific example of community content benefiting the common good, and might save you from being late for an important meeting!

Download Waze in the App Store or on Google Play.

2. EmergenSee

Safety is on everyone's mind these days and with the right tools, both you and your loved ones can feel more secure about your traveling to meetings with real estate leads and clients.

EmergenSee is discreet and easy to use. With a simple touch on the app, your selected contacts can immediately see your location and be notified if you're in a potentially dangerous situation.

The app uses your phone's GPS to send alerts to your chosen contacts, requiring minimal input on your part. It's peace of mind in a phone app, and it's terrific for real estate professionals. Download EmergenSee in the App Store or on Google Play.

3. Vert

As a real estate professional, you likely work with a lot of different metrics, like size, weight, volume, and length. Vert is a conversion tool that works for anything and everything.

Vert supports over 800 units, along with 168 currencies. You can favorite your most common choices to make them easily available.

What's great about Vert is its super quick speed, and the fact that it works even when you're offline. I have a feeling this is an app that will be useful for both your real estate business and your personal life too, like converting currencies and measurements for cooking!

Download Vert in the App Store.

4. Localeur

Have you established yourself as a knowledgeable and savvy part of your local community? Are you hip to all the best restaurants, shopping, and community events in your area?

With Localeur, you'll amaze your prospects and clients with your inside scoop on all the best places to meet for lunch, grab a coffee, or do some shopping. The app takes information from local connoisseurs who share recommendations on their favorite locations in cities all across America.
