The Top Real Estate Apps for iPhone and Android Devices
1. The Top Real Estate Apps for
iPhone and Android Devices
2. In the earliest days of the Internet,
some of the original architects of the
web pursued real estate as the most
obvious market that could widely
benefit from independent web sites.
3. Aggregation services for these sites
were among the first web lists, which
eventually grew into dedicated
indexes, then searchable indexes.
4. Eventually the idea was absorbed
into more complete services like
Craigslist and the earliest
iterations of Yahoo.
5. Although those early sites had
some tremendous advantages in
that they could be viewed from
neighborhoods far from the houses
they featured, they weren't mobile.
6. The ability to find houses nearest a
certain address as opposed to
houses that match a particular
keyword is equally effective and
often leads to a better purchase and
a happier buyer.
7. One thing to be aware of is many of
the most popular apps are not
designed for home buyers.
8. Some of the best apps are built to
be utilized by agents, real estate
brokers and even residential and
commercial developers.
10. At the top of many app lists is a utility
for investors called "BiggerPockets."
11. While it is primarily a gateway to its
namesake's forums, it is apparently a
great tool for people who are out
scouting for new investment properties.
13. For home buyers there is the
"Homes Mortgage Calculator"
available for both iPad and iPhone.
14. With this app, any buyer can plug in
the details of a proposed deal and get
an accurate idea of the projected
payment amount if they accept the
deal and seek a mortgage to finance it.
16. Since Craigslist seemed to benefit
so much from the Internet's early
history, it stands to reason it would
find its way on to a list of the most
useful mobile apps.
17. When combined with the wide variety
of mapping and communications
utilities built into most phones,
Craigslist can become a powerhouse
of buyer and renter options.
23. From the National Association of
Realtors comes an app that, like the
home mortgage calculator, will allow a
buyer or seller to calculate the
Mortgage Interest Deduction based on
any set of financial details available.
24. This can be a great advantage to
calculate the costs and balances of
any home deal before it is negotiated.
26. This utility for iPhone and iPad allows
a property owner to combine
information from three comparable
properties to determine a competitive
rent for a subject property.
27. It also gives the user the option to
send the information in spreadsheet
form to others for analysis.
28. Real estate apps for all kinds of
interested parties are likely to
become more popular as the
capabilities of mobile phones and
tablets continue to improve.
29. If you are looking for a condo to buy
in Arizona, We Know Urban Realty
will help you find the perfect place.
