4 Must-Have AI Mobile Apps to Level Up Your Real Estate Game
Want to leverage the power of artificial intelligence while you're on the go? You're in luck — there are several AI-powered mobile apps available to help you do everything from research to crafting social media posts. Today, you'll learn about four of them. In this video, Jimmy Burgess and Rajeev Sajja highlight four mobile apps that put the power of AI right in your pocket. Check out brief descriptions of each below, and click the links to download each app. For a more in-depth explanation at how to leverage each app, watch the video above. Perplexity - Need to research something? This app does it for you — complete with sources and none of the counterfactual "hallucinations" that some AI chatbots have been known for. (iOS, Android) ChatGPT - Everyone who hasn't been living under a rock for the past year knows what ChatGPT is. The mobile app lets you interact with the AI on the go. Jimmy and Rajiv recommend it for creating engaging social media posts, especially Reel descriptions. (iOS, Android) Co-Pilot - One downside of ChatGPT is that it's not connected to the internet. Co-Pilot to the rescue! This app combines the power of OpenAI models with Bing search so you can search smarter. (iOS, Android) Captions - Use this app to look and sound your best in videos. Captions can generate, well, captions — but it does a whole lot more, too. Use it to remove filler words like "um," create voiceovers, edit clips, and much more.

Google Podcasts to Shut Down: How to Transfer Your Favorite Shows
Another day, another killed Google project. On April 2, Google is discontinuing its beloved podcast app, Google Podcasts, and sending it off to the great Google Graveyard. By shutting down the app, Google hopes to make its YouTube Music app the new destination for podcasts. By turning YouTube Music into its default podcast app, Google aims to make it easier for users to switch between video and audio podcast formats. While the hubbub across the web so far seems to be a hearty "meh" to this decision, Google Podcasts fans face just over a month to move their favorite shows to a new app. Google aims to make the transition as easy as possible for users — especially for those willing to migrate to YouTube Music. Here's a quick look at how to move your favorite podcasts out of Google Podcasts and into a new app: Migrating Your Favorite Podcasts Google offers easy, step-by-step directions for exporting your favorite shows — three different sets of directions, actually. Users can choose to transfer their shows to YouTube Music, export their subscriptions via Google Takeout or by downloading their podcast data via an OPML file. You can view instructions for each of these methods here. Alternative Podcast Apps If YouTube Music doesn't suit your podcast needs, there are plenty of other apps that will do the trick. Speaking of new apps, which podcast apps are available for agents to switch to? We're happy to report that there are a wealth of options. Here are a few of the top ones: Apple Podcasts Spotify Podbean Castbox Pocket Casts Overcast Player FM Podurama Podcast Guru AntennaPod Podcast Addict Real Estate Podcast Inspiration Need some more podcasts to listen to?

Efficiency Meets Proficiency in RPR's Upgraded Mobile App
Last year, RPR (Realtors Property Resource) delivered some major new enhancements and upgraded products to REALTORS®. Read all about Shareable Market Trends, the Market Trends ScriptWriter and more in this 2023 product highlight article: Helping REALTORS® Navigate the Market: RPR 2023 Product Highlights. And as promised, we're picking up right where we left with another major upgrade to kick off the New Year. We've collected tons of user feedback and requests that drive these latest enhancements. Say "hello" to the rethought, revamped and refreshed RPR Mobile™ app! The RPR app: Less tapping – more doing! We know that time is a precious commodity for agents. Which is why the upgraded RPR app has been reimagined with one goal: to simplify your workflow. Helping users do more in less time is basically our unofficial mantra. The redesign is centered on making efficiency go hand-in-hand with proficiency. Here are some highlights of the upgraded RPR app We'll dive into more detail and show off some screenshots in just a bit, but first, here are some of the most important "headlines" to be aware of when it comes to the newly upgraded RPR application: Instant Search - Open the app, and you're set to start your search—no waiting, no extra taps. Navigate With Ease - Our sleek bottom tab bar gets you where you need to go, faster and smarter. All-in-One Searching - Jump between residential and commercial searches with just a tap. Specialty Search Tags - Perform specialty searches and refine your searches with visual tags. Reports at a Touch - View all of your recent reports or create new ones with just a tap. To see the upgraded RPR app in action, check out this quick-look video! A more detailed look at the new, upgraded RPR app The first thing you'll notice is a bright new login screen. Your app login credentials are the same as signing onto the RPR website. The map in the RPR app is your new home screen Welcome home! Right off the bat you'll see that the RPR map search is now the new home screen. It will show your current location on the map, and from here, you can skip the scrolling and quickly start searching for properties! The search bar at the top of screen is where you'll enter specific addresses, area names, listing ID, APN, tax ID, or the owner name to begin a search. Just below you can also easily go from Residential to Commercial property searches with just a tap. In this search view, a new feature you might find helpful is specialty search tags, where users can search using special filters, such as Owner Name, Open House and Distressed. (Just hit the "x" on the tab to close it out.) Tap onto any property pin (we've also increased the number of map pins shown on the screen to 500 – that's 10 times more!) to see the Property Details. Also be sure to try out this new feature: swipe up from the bottom to browse through a List View of the properties shown on the map. Tap "More" (previously called "Map Actions") in the lower right corner to bring up a menu of map options, including Distance points, Traffic numbers, Parcel boundaries, Schools info and more. The new navigation bar: We raised the bar – by lowering it! At the bottom of your app screen is the new nav bar. It includes "Search," with a magnifying glass icon, all the way to the left. Again, Search is now the default home screen and where you'll start using the app. Working your way to the right, we now have a tab called "My Work." This is where you'll find all of your saved work and property counts by status, including Listing Counts, My Listings, My Saved properties, My Recent searches, an area for notes, and more. Next is a button for "Trends." This is simply an abbreviation for the RPR Market Trends, where users can search specific areas, such as ZIP codes, and get up-to-date stats, charts and graphs for a given area. This includes important market data such as Months of Inventory, List to Sold Price percentages, Median Sold Price and more. Agents can also share these stats and numbers directly to their favorite social media channels or download the images to include in emails, texts, websites or print materials. One spot over is the button for "Reports." Here you can create, view, share, and/or delete residential and commercial reports with just a few taps. Another great new feature: the Reports list screen now contains residential and commercial reports in the same list–no need to navigate between Residential and Commercial mode. All the way to the right in the nav bar is the "Menu" button. This area is what was previously shown when the cog wheel was tapped. It contains a ton of useful options to fine-tune your browsing and user preferences, including accessing your Profile, Notifications (App updates and news), User Settings, RPR Access, MLS/CIE Sources, Legal, Tour Link (explains the new navigation), how to mail RPR, how to call RPR, a link to RPR Connect (our user group Facebook page), and how to add RPR to your contacts. With the new, upgraded RPR app, agents will search smarter – not harder With the upgraded version of the RPR app, agents will start searching and start working for their clients right from the get go! Make sure you download, update and open it up to experience all the helpful new changes. There's also a special Welcome Guide that will walk you through the new features when agents install or update the app. Be sure to check it out and start putting the app to your advantage today!
