I was in the Phoenix/Mesa area this month and was fortunate enough to learn about the local RE Barcamp. I’ve attended others before but must commend the organizers, volunteers and attendees on making it one of the best networking and knowledge-sharing events ever.

The BarCamp Pre Party was held the night before at a collaborative workspace that is sponsored by Chicago Title and featured amazing barbecue from Smokin’ Aces and the pitmaster, Kevin, who’s been featured on the Food Network. We were dazzled with impromptu magic by my new buddy, Gene, who is the marketing manager for his brother’s Realty Executives team.

The BarCamp was held at the Scottsdale Stadium, and we kicked things off on a gorgeous day sitting in the bleachers. We then broke into separate sessions held in locker rooms, suites, etc., and a variety of topics on mobile, iPads, QR codes, social networking, blogging, Droid, short sales, property management and more. Given my areas of expertise, I focused on the mobile tracks to learn what issues and tips were discussed in Northern Arizona and was pleasantly surprised with the tech-savvy agents and tools they found to solve their everyday problems. I was particularly impressed with the tools used on iPads to virtualize their businesses.

In this spirit of knowledge sharing, I felt compelled to spread the love. Below is a list of the top recommended tools for iPads that helps agents mobilize their business.
