Snag-It A Great Tool For Real Estate

By
Real Estate Agent with Long & Foster 0225078705

In real estate these days more of our life has become digital.  We send contracts in .pdf file formats, use digital camera, email digital photos,  write contracts on line, network by Blogging and drive business to ourselves via the world wide web.  Time is truly of the essence these days where we communicate with sellers around the globe, sharing inspection reports, video tours as soon as they are in our possession.  A cell phone call can instantly confirm a receipt or a transmission sent.

One of the tools I use the most in the last year for Blogging, web development and sharing information and reports with clients, inspectors, home buyers, sellers and handymen is Snag-It!  It is a reasonably priced program.  You can do so many things with it, mark up a photo, enhance a craph, create graphics and headers and so much more.  It is worth taking a look at f you have not tried it.  There is a free download trial avalable, and you can purchase it for $49,95

Below is a mark up of an an inspection for items requested for repair.

Jim,

What a cool product.  Reading bloggers like you on AR has improved my business life because of things just like this that I never would have found in a million years.  Thanks for posting about it.

Many home inspectors are using this now and what a difference it makes in communicating more thoroughly.  Thanks!

This looks like a useful little program.  And on another note, this is why I like AR, little bits of helpful information that agents are willing to share EVERY day.

Mike Jones (Tucson Mortgage Company, LLC)  Mike, I have to confess...an agent on Active Rain mentioned this a long while ago.  I have now had several upgrades and love it.

Mark MacKenzie Real Estate Planning  Mark I agree.  All too often agents in our own offices will not share ideas because they believe that we are the competition.

Looks like good stuff, Jim.  I'll plan to take the free trial for a spin.  This could be very helpful when submitting my short sale packages, as well as for inspectors.

Thanks for the great tip.  I think the inspections must use something like that.  I think I'll give it a try!

This looks really great. I will definately check it out. There is so much "stuff" out there that if it weren't for ActiveRain, I would not have a chance of keeping up!
