My goal with implementing new technology and the iPad specifically:

-To make/keep Real Estate more personal.Yes,that’s right!
-Increase the quality of information that we give/provide to our customers
-Increase freedom and convenience for our customers
-Create more efficiency so that we can focus more on the things we would rather be doing! Prospecting for new business, to more time with our families!
-Bring much needed, increased professionalism to the Real Estate industry.

So, lets start with a day in the life of a Realtor® who uses an iPad

– Prospecting, door knocking, FSBO’s, Expireds, etc. Working with Buyers… You have solid data at your fingertips. No more going back to the office.

o Title company apps like “Agent First” allow you to pull up tax record information instantly on any property.
o Fidelity Bottom Line app allows you to quickly figure out closing costs and house payments.
o MLS-Touch allows you to pull up to date MLS information from the field in a simple interface

– Presentations with Listing or Buying prospects

-Keynote is a great App that allows you to do a full presentation with your prospect on the fly. NO more books

-YouTube or Videos to showcase your other Virtual tours, commercials, or Video Testimonials!

-Google Earth for showing clients/prospects the aerial view of the property. Lot size, shape, location, proximity to shopping, schools, freeways, etc.

-Use Safari to showcase your Website, and online presence. Realtor.com, Trulia, Zillow, etc.
-Safari for using statistic programs like TRENDGRAPHIX
