New App for Realtors- Dictionary of Real Estate Terms

I came across this app recently called Dictionary of Real Estate Terms and wanted to share with others in my field. It is an app of over 3,000 industry specific real estate terms and right at your fingertips to look up.

As Realtors, we know so many terms but there are always new ones popping up. Sometimes I cannot for the life of me remember what the word is I am thinking of and it starts with "a" so I might Google it if I am on the internet and see if I can find it. Things will be brought up that I haven't thought of since Real Estate School 101 long before I took my state exam. Sitting in a seminar and a speaker mentions a phrase and you think to yourself “what is that term again”? Or a client hands you an official letter regarding real estate and he doesn’t understand and neither do you! I have found this to be a useful tool. It is good for writing blogs too as it has great definitions and charts.

 

Just this morning as I was sitting in a huge meeting with many elected officials from numerous cities in my community and also many developers present. They were talking about eminent domain, easements and realignment of the cities and also city redevelopment plans. Several times I looked something up on this app as I was pretty sure what they were saying but the definition made it easier.

 

New App for Realtors- Dictionary of Real Estate TermsIt is compatible for iPod, iPad, and iPhone users. It has automatic updates and it does not require internet access to use. It has charts and graphs, a 1 letter search function, email to a fried feature and saved search feature. It is fully browseable and searchable.

 

This tool is making my life so much simpler as I am a Realtor and not an attorney but sometimes the legal terminology pops up and we of course always want to be prepared. The cost in the Apple store is $3.99 and very reasonable for its wealth of knowledge.

 *Thanks to Dennis and Jay in comments below, they shared some valuable information that there is an android app for phones called:

Glossary Real Estate Terms – Relmark - on Google Play

 

There is also a similar app called “Dictionary of Investments Terms.

Try it and email me and let me know what you think?

This is a great app and I hope that is coming soon to android.  There are so many terms that we need to know and explain to buyer and sellers.  Thanks for the heads up.

Kristin, did not check this for Droid - since you mentioned that it is available on Apple devices. Looks interesting though - and hopefully, not used for cheating at the real estate exams!

Hi Kate,

I noticed below in the comments that Dennis just told us about an app for android phones called:

Glossary Real Estate Terms – Relmark - on Google Play

I have an android as well as an iPhone so I will have to get this one too.

Hi Jay and Michelle,

I am so glad to know this information and would have put it in my post if I had known. Android apps are coming out with many good ones and stay pretty competitive with Apple.

Hi Carla,

I agree, 3000 terms is a lot but probably like our original real estate books, we use some information and other stuff never appears again.

Hi Beth,

I agree there are so many apps out there but i have yet to find out where i can edit photos on my iPad like I do on iPiccy and Ribbit. I wish I could find one.

Hi Bryan,

I have had that happen too and I am one who Googles everything but what if there is no internet access. I have a hotspot but it takes a minute or two to get my iPad online so this is so much quicker.

Hi Aaron,

Speakers are becoming more creative lately and if they are selling something, they sometimes coin a phrase so it is good to see if it is an acceptable term or not.

Hi Betty,

I am sure out of 3000 terms there will be a lot we all don't know. We could all start doing a "word of the day' regarding real estate.

Hi Jimmy,

You are so funny! That is probably true in many cases but I met a lovely lady yesterday who just got on the city counsel in Calimesa because she got mad. They were going to tear down the Senior Center after promising not to so she ran and won. I say hooray for politicians like her. And she kept the center from being torn down and has now added on to it. It is important to keep political promises and care about the people, especially our seniors.

Hi Rekha,

Glad it is something you can use as we have to sift through the masses of apps to find the right ones.

Hi Praful,

Here is an app that two AR members just shared that is good for androids.

Glossary Real Estate Terms – Relmark - on Google Play

Oh I hope this app is not used for cheating. Our California state exams have proctors who walk around and check what the test takers are doing plus they told us not talking in the bathrooms and not to turn our phones on. It made me laugh about the bathroom comments but I am sure they mentioned it as people  have tried before to cheat in there. I wondered if they had speakers or cameras? I think it is much easier to study and know the material than to cheat. Plus to be an agent, you need to know this material to be competent.
