iPhone Apps for the Home Buyer and/or Realtor

I thought I'd share an interesting blog post I recently found, which highlights 15 iPhone apps (good and bad) that focus on our industry. Several of these I've used.. several I haven't, but the blogger makes a good point:

I think mobile is really important for real estate and that, right now at least, the iPhone is the most compelling mobile platform for application development.

As an agent, you NEED to be incorporating mobile into your marketing strategy. Be mindful of the mobile version of your website as you design and brand, and use technologies like SMS (text) to promote your listings. People want information and today that means information on their mobile devices, so think these things through as you advance your marketing efforts.

Hi Ryan,

We need to be using all of the technology that our clients are using but one thing I don't see mentioned much is that we need to TURN IT ALL OFF AT TIMES and just be people instead of being real estate people. Good post.

Hi Judi. You're right about that. I turned all my gadgets off this past weekend and spent the time with my kids at the lake, before my oldest goes off to college next week. Gotta have priorities!

Texting is old hat, but a lot of people still don't have, or don't know how to use it. It is so vitally important to have this feature.

For example, if I'm with a client, I almost NEVER answer the phone unless I am waiting for a call. So today, while showing property, I had scheduled to show another property where the listing agent was not immediately available. I had emailed her requesting a combination code. She texted me back with the info I needed so we were able to show her listing.

And that's another thing that is a must-have: email capability in the phone.
