Technology is all around us.  It helps us in everyday life with just about everything we do.  It’s hard to imagine a life without anything & everything at our fingers tips, isn’t it?  Did you know that 94% of consumers start their home search online with 78% of those people are searching on their mobile devices?  The real estate industry has kept up with those consumer demands by offering a variety of interactive applications for your smart phones and other mobile devices.  Below are some valuable FREE apps that I use on a regular basis.  If you’re thinking about buying a home, you’ll want to get these apps!

You can even find open house events nearby with the GPS-based real estate search.  Moreover, it’s simple to remember which homes you have seen, like and dislike when you rate homes and create notes right on the listing. You can keep your notes and ratings private, or you can share your thoughts with your REALTOR® instantly.

TheRealEstateBook – Search millions of homes for sale across the U.S. and around the world while on the go.
