- ShowingTime – this is the system my MLS uses to schedule showings. With this app, you can manage showings and feedback, access important details about a property and search for other listings to show based on your location. The system will check to see if you’re still showing the property and will notify the sellers that you’re complete and they can return home. After your showings are done, you can also provide feedback.
- Dotloop – calling itself the “leading online transaction productivity optimization platform in real estate”. It certainly is one name that everybody knows. You can access dotloop from your phone or computer to create forms, e-sign, manage transactions and to help with productivity, workflow automation and analytics. As busy agents, Dotloop can help you add and assign signatures, initials with clients. It’s free for a limited number of “loops” and you can subscribe to Premium for access to all the features.
- Supra eKey – I personally use the basic service since it gives real estate professionals the ability to get access to keys for showings. You can also keep track of key boxes and change the settings to limit agent access, add notes, flyers or business cards to the box. Once you upgrade to eKey professional, you can create real-time property notes, create and view lists of buyers, view and compare buyer home ratings and save buyer profiles.
- FMLS (or your local MLS) – in my part of Georgia, I use the GoFMLS app. This app lets me see agent exclusive listing details, photos and homeowner information as if I were on the main website of FMLS. It can only be used by FMLS members, but it’s extremely helpful when you’re out and about and don’t want to break open your laptop. One of my favorite features is the Calculate icon that lets me very quickly check affordability or get a monthly payment amount by adjusting purchase price, down payment and interest rate. If you know more information about a certain property, you can adjust the property tax, association dues and housing insurance to help you provide a more accurate mortgage payment estimate to your client.
- Realtor.com – I use the basic free version, but did you know there’s an agent version too? You and your clients can view 3D home tours and see homes for sale across the US. You’ll see the property details like price, sales history, and school information. You can also use the filter to limit your search to only show houses within a specific school’s boundaries. Other filters include age of home, square footage, amenities, and homes that have recently sold. Not only can you use this app but so can your clients. Have them send listings to you or share listing information with their family and friend through text or email.
- Outlook – this app lets you send and manage all of your email accounts and calendars in one spot. You can schedule, delete and achieve messages to help you be more organized. Share your schedule availability with clients and open Word, Excel or other Office documents to edit them and attach them back to emails.
- Camscanner – lets you scan documents into PDF and gives you the ability to create password protected PDFs. Use this mobile scanner whenever you need to scan receipts, notes, invoices or business cards. With the signature function, you can sign contracts and share with others. With the paid version, the OCR (optical character recognition, ya’ll) extracts text from a page to give you additional editing capabilities.

You’ll look like a neighborhood expert when you know about all the restaurants, events and activities close by.

The navigation will help you save time with automatic rerouting based on live traffic updates, incident and road closures.
- Palm Agent ONE – this app has calculations and closing costs for specific city and counties. It allows agent to quickly generate Buyer Estimates and Seller Net Sheets and generate customized emails or printouts for clients. All from the phone. This is a paid service with monthly and yearly subscriptions, but you can start with a 30-day trial.
