Ever see something clever and immediately say, "why didn't I think of that?" Whatever "that" is - it qualifies as a life hack - which is to say, a tip or trick that makes your life a little easier. I've seen hundreds of them, each more clever than the last. Here are a few you can use to make your day-to-day real estate tasks a little simpler to execute.

 

5 awesome life hacks for real estate pros:

 

  1. Use a route planning tool to make multiple house showings more efficient:

  2. Put dryer sheets over floor or AC vents to make a musty house smell fresh:

  3. Use a rubber band to keep the doors from latching during an open house:

  4. Stop breaking your fingernails on key rings:

All of these are great tips but the rubber band is going to help alot of us.  

Using a key to open a wine bottle will come in handy if we find out about the rubber band tip after we've already locked ourselves out.  :)

Rhonda Burgess Howse - it really does make a big difference. There are lots of good scents now and it is much cheaper than refilling plugins all the time!
