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. continue reading
The miles you log every day and week can rack up fast. What if you could generate clients with those property tours from your smart phone?
Well, now you can with the Trulia App for Agents. With the click of a button, you can share homes your tour through Facebook and Twitter, plus they are automatically displayed on your Trulia profile.
Remember that commercial that popularized the catchphrase “There’s an app for that?” Imagine what viewers would say if they saw it today. “Duh,” one might say. “There’s more like 20 apps for that,” another might quip. Not only are there innumerable apps for all things shopping-, money-, and real estate-related, virtually everyone who is in a position to buy or sell a home also totes a smart phone around with them, all day, every day.
These two truths create a third: home buyers don’t just like to use apps here and there – they actually rely on them to conduct their daily lives. Get this: behavioral scientists have actually recognized the existence of a new psychological condition called “nomophobia,” the emotional panic and depression –the feeling that you’re unable to function normally – when you have lost your phone or forgotten it at home.
There’s a whole conversation we could have about whether or not we all should be so reliant on our phones and addicted to our favorite apps. But like it or not, the mobile mindset is here to stay for a while. The upshot: if you market yourself or your listings to buyers, understanding their app-obsessed mindsets is more than just a good idea – it’s a responsibility and a massive, massive opportunity. continue reading

But sifting endlessly through the 500k+ apps available in the Android Market or on iTunes to find a diamond in the rough that will really make your life or business better isn’t anybody’s idea of a good time – it can be just as frustrating as searching for a home.
