A short list of my essential apps for real estate ...

1. Essential Apps for Android and Apple Stefanie A. Hahn | October 2011

2. What is an “app”??? First of all, it is important to understand that the word “app” is just short for “application”. Applications are programs or software that allow you to “do” – they are the tools that we interact with on a daily basis to be productive, be efficient and be entertained at work and home.

3. What to look for in an app: Apps that sync across my devices and make life easier for me are usually winners in my book … Always read the app reviews and try the free versions first! Stefanie A. Hahn | October 2011
