7 Deal-Saving Gadgets for Agents on the Go

By
Real Estate Technology

There’s a long list of things that can kill or delay any part of a real estate transaction.

Clients understand when factors, like the weather, delay a deal. But, for everything else they want you to have a solution. That includes having the tech you need to do business from anywhere.

When it comes to real estate tech, portability is king. Here’s a list of smart spends from the cutting edge for 2013 that will help you ensure technology never stands between you and closing a deal.

 

Options for Extending Your Battery Life

Forget worrying about a battery drain leaving you out in the field with a lifeless cell phone, tablet, or laptop. These tax-deductible options from this year’s, Consumer Electronics Show, are great for making sure your devices stay alive.

 

1. Mobile Electric Generator with Two Weeks of Power

The Nectar mobile power source is a great options for agents who want to roam free of wall outlets.

The fuel cell cartridge technology from Lilliputian System can be used to power Smartphones, tablets, Bluetooth headsets, digital cameras, and more. In addition, the cartridge is touted as boosting the run-times on mobile devices by ten times more than a traditional charge.

The Good News: This charging cartridge will be a lifesaver for office-less agents.

The Bad News: You’ll have to wait until the summer and pay $299.99 to get it. To pre-order yours, visit Nectar Power online.

 

2. Rob Power from Your Tablet to Charge Your Phone with Device-to-Device Chargers

The way you charge your devices while on the go is about to undergo a radical change.

At the Consumer Electronics Show, Fulton Innovation debuted a new technology its still developing that can do wireless charging device-to-device. “eCoupled two-way wireless power” works by placing devices back-to-back to transfer power wirelessly between them.

For example, if your Smartphone was running low on power, you could place it on top of your tablet and harness power from your tablet to charge up. Watch this video to see how it works.

 

 

The Good News: With this technology charging will become a ton easier.

The Bad News: We scoured the Web and could not find a release date for this new tech tool.

I need that right now! I get too busy to remember to charge, then the phone dies mid sentence, and I have to scramble for a charger.

And "they" say that everything that's able to be invented has already been invented.  Uh, I don't think so.  ;-)

Thanks for sharing! I love technology that makes our lives easier or better. There are just so many creations that claim to do that, but then fall short.

I have heard they are aiming for self charging phones that get energy from the motion of our bodies.

Thank you for the post. I live in fear of running out of "juice" on my phone. At $299, I'm gonna have to wait for the charger, and yes, I have charged my phone from my laptop.
