There’s never enough hours in the day, are there?
Whether you’re just starting out, or you’re a seasoned real estate pro, chances are you’re short on the same thing. Time.
If they bottled the stuff, you’d happily buy it. Sadly, there’s no one who sells more hours in the day (not ethically, anyway!)
But we have the next best thing. Time-saving tools to save you hours.
Better than that, they’ll make you more efficient, more effective and you’ll look uber-professional to boot.
So grab your smartphone and let’s get you set up.
1. Open Home Pro
You can put an end to squinting and trying to decipher handwriting while typing out contact details. This handy app does it all.
Open Home Pro allows you to capture names and contact information on your mobile device, making you look professional because you’re using the latest technology. But wait, there’s more (as they say in the classics).
It will even send visitors a follow-up email containing your contact details after the open house, and send you a list of leads that don’t have an agent or have a home to sell so that you can follow them up.
2. DocuSign
DocuSign is the world’s most popular and trusted electronic signature software, and they offer a special edition for realtors.
DocuSign will save you time getting signatures because it enables people all around the world to electronically sign documents, agreements, and contracts on any device and in any time zone. It’s easy and convenient, but it’s not just about getting signatures.
