FotoNotes is a mobile-first solution for real estate field services, including property and facilities management, property preservation, broker price opinions (BPOs), construction estimates, and more. It's a great tool to collect and share real estate information — photos, voice notes, text, and other information in the field — and differentiate the average real estate agent from the tech savvy one.
While FotoNotes is currently targeting property managers, an individual Realtor® could use the application in several ways:
- To document client tours of a property, taking photos, capturing note and issues, and giving clients this information immediately after the tour.
- Track repairs and improvements that might need to be addressed prior to the sale of a property
- To collaborate with a client and potential contractors on home improvements during the sales process – to share ideas and get cost estimates for carpentry, painting, roofing, and other remodeling and construction services
- To perform BPOs (Broker Price Opinions) faster and more thoroughly
- To quickly capture photos, location, and other information about a property and have it organized in a form (data structure) that they define
- To highlight special features or details in a house and share them with clients
- If they're also property managers, to issue work orders for maintenance and property preservation
As for the nuts-and-bolts, FotoNotes has four components:
- Mobile application. For iPhones/iPads, it's downloadable today from iTunes. For Android devices, it's coming later this fall.
- Web application that allows users to manage and share all information on the web.
- Web-based template configurator that a non-technical administrator can use to create mobile templates. The templates specify the data to be collected and the workflow for the tasks performed in the field.
- API to easily integrate mobile field data with back-end office systems.
