Realtors

Xplode Dallas was just last Friday, and the epic Texas Realtors Conference continues until tomorrow, so let’s take a look at some of the top apps for agents featured in both Xplode and Inman News’ Agent Reboot

At Agent Reboot, agents got the dish on these great apps for all users, not just mobile. We’ll do another post featuring the tops agent-friendly mobile apps from Xplode.

Boomerang

This is a tool for Gmail users. If you are not a Gmail user you need to be! It allows you to schedule an email to be sent later. You can also set a reminder to follow up with clients or a reminder to yourself! It’s basically an automated mom!

Zillow Digs

Keep an eye on this. It’s a Houzz wannabe. It allows people to see a beautiful room and the cost to remodel with a regional adjustment built in. Now if the room is in a house for sale, it also allows you to get information about the purchase of that house. I think this is going to be big but it’s still in the infancy stage right now and just no competitor for Houzz…yet.

Yesware

Do you wonder if your emails get opened and who opens them? What about who clicks on your links? Then this is the app for you. It also allows for email templates that are time savers. It also syncs with Salesforce.

Over

This is totally cool. Add text to your photos! Think about the uses here. You can send a photo of the house your client is interested in with “ Home Sweet Home” or “ This is the ONE” in a beautiful font. If you just sold a home you can send a photo with “Congratulations” on the front.

Rapportive

Talk about inside skinny! Rapportive not only tells you that you have mail, it lets see a photo of the email sender, their job, company, LinkedIn profile, MailChimp activity AND if they are nearby so you can text them to meet for coffee! Relationship management built into email is how they describe it and that’s pretty spot on!

Tigerlead

I cannot say it any better than they do. “A fully integrated marketing platform for Realtors” that combines high quality home buyer and home seller lead generation. It has a database of a million real estate related keywords so you can really target your market.

BombBomb

Well love the name of course! Realtors just have to get on board with video. It’s growing and you really have no choice. Reboot taught us that 75 % of smart phone users watch video on their phones and 26% watch DAILY and 90% of information transmitted to the brain is VISUAL. You need to be there! This is straight off their site because frankly I can’t say it better, “ BombBomb makes it easy to create, send, and track the results of both traditional emails and video emails to just one person, to a segment

Videolicious

I know you hate the idea of being on video, so do I, we all do but we have to go there. Videolicious makes it easy and pretty darned painless. It’s a “Talk n Tap” process. All you do is choose your shots, still or video, talk about your property, then choose some cool music that they provide and sit back and enjoy your masterpiece. Oh and of course link it everywhere!
