4 Must-Have AI Mobile Apps to Level Up Your Real Estate Game
Want to leverage the power of artificial intelligence while you're on the go? You're in luck — there are several AI-powered mobile apps available to help you do everything from research to crafting social media posts. Today, you'll learn about four of them. In this video, Jimmy Burgess and Rajeev Sajja highlight four mobile apps that put the power of AI right in your pocket. Check out brief descriptions of each below, and click the links to download each app. For a more in-depth explanation at how to leverage each app, watch the video above. Perplexity - Need to research something? This app does it for you — complete with sources and none of the counterfactual "hallucinations" that some AI chatbots have been known for. (iOS, Android) ChatGPT - Everyone who hasn't been living under a rock for the past year knows what ChatGPT is. The mobile app lets you interact with the AI on the go. Jimmy and Rajiv recommend it for creating engaging social media posts, especially Reel descriptions. (iOS, Android) Co-Pilot - One downside of ChatGPT is that it's not connected to the internet. Co-Pilot to the rescue! This app combines the power of OpenAI models with Bing search so you can search smarter. (iOS, Android) Captions - Use this app to look and sound your best in videos. Captions can generate, well, captions — but it does a whole lot more, too. Use it to remove filler words like "um," create voiceovers, edit clips, and much more.

Efficiency Meets Proficiency in RPR's Upgraded Mobile App
Last year, RPR (Realtors Property Resource) delivered some major new enhancements and upgraded products to REALTORS®. Read all about Shareable Market Trends, the Market Trends ScriptWriter and more in this 2023 product highlight article: Helping REALTORS® Navigate the Market: RPR 2023 Product Highlights. And as promised, we're picking up right where we left with another major upgrade to kick off the New Year. We've collected tons of user feedback and requests that drive these latest enhancements. Say "hello" to the rethought, revamped and refreshed RPR Mobile™ app! The RPR app: Less tapping – more doing! We know that time is a precious commodity for agents. Which is why the upgraded RPR app has been reimagined with one goal: to simplify your workflow. Helping users do more in less time is basically our unofficial mantra. The redesign is centered on making efficiency go hand-in-hand with proficiency. Here are some highlights of the upgraded RPR app We'll dive into more detail and show off some screenshots in just a bit, but first, here are some of the most important "headlines" to be aware of when it comes to the newly upgraded RPR application: Instant Search - Open the app, and you're set to start your search—no waiting, no extra taps. Navigate With Ease - Our sleek bottom tab bar gets you where you need to go, faster and smarter. All-in-One Searching - Jump between residential and commercial searches with just a tap. Specialty Search Tags - Perform specialty searches and refine your searches with visual tags. Reports at a Touch - View all of your recent reports or create new ones with just a tap. To see the upgraded RPR app in action, check out this quick-look video! A more detailed look at the new, upgraded RPR app The first thing you'll notice is a bright new login screen. Your app login credentials are the same as signing onto the RPR website. The map in the RPR app is your new home screen Welcome home! Right off the bat you'll see that the RPR map search is now the new home screen. It will show your current location on the map, and from here, you can skip the scrolling and quickly start searching for properties! The search bar at the top of screen is where you'll enter specific addresses, area names, listing ID, APN, tax ID, or the owner name to begin a search. Just below you can also easily go from Residential to Commercial property searches with just a tap. In this search view, a new feature you might find helpful is specialty search tags, where users can search using special filters, such as Owner Name, Open House and Distressed. (Just hit the "x" on the tab to close it out.) Tap onto any property pin (we've also increased the number of map pins shown on the screen to 500 – that's 10 times more!) to see the Property Details. Also be sure to try out this new feature: swipe up from the bottom to browse through a List View of the properties shown on the map. Tap "More" (previously called "Map Actions") in the lower right corner to bring up a menu of map options, including Distance points, Traffic numbers, Parcel boundaries, Schools info and more. The new navigation bar: We raised the bar – by lowering it! At the bottom of your app screen is the new nav bar. It includes "Search," with a magnifying glass icon, all the way to the left. Again, Search is now the default home screen and where you'll start using the app. Working your way to the right, we now have a tab called "My Work." This is where you'll find all of your saved work and property counts by status, including Listing Counts, My Listings, My Saved properties, My Recent searches, an area for notes, and more. Next is a button for "Trends." This is simply an abbreviation for the RPR Market Trends, where users can search specific areas, such as ZIP codes, and get up-to-date stats, charts and graphs for a given area. This includes important market data such as Months of Inventory, List to Sold Price percentages, Median Sold Price and more. Agents can also share these stats and numbers directly to their favorite social media channels or download the images to include in emails, texts, websites or print materials. One spot over is the button for "Reports." Here you can create, view, share, and/or delete residential and commercial reports with just a few taps. Another great new feature: the Reports list screen now contains residential and commercial reports in the same list–no need to navigate between Residential and Commercial mode. All the way to the right in the nav bar is the "Menu" button. This area is what was previously shown when the cog wheel was tapped. It contains a ton of useful options to fine-tune your browsing and user preferences, including accessing your Profile, Notifications (App updates and news), User Settings, RPR Access, MLS/CIE Sources, Legal, Tour Link (explains the new navigation), how to mail RPR, how to call RPR, a link to RPR Connect (our user group Facebook page), and how to add RPR to your contacts. With the new, upgraded RPR app, agents will search smarter – not harder With the upgraded version of the RPR app, agents will start searching and start working for their clients right from the get go! Make sure you download, update and open it up to experience all the helpful new changes. There's also a special Welcome Guide that will walk you through the new features when agents install or update the app. Be sure to check it out and start putting the app to your advantage today!

Experience the future of home tours with Zillow Immerse on Apple Vision Pro
Take home shopping on Zillow to the next level with a new spatial touring experience SEATTLE, Feb. 1, 2024 -- Zillow® Immerse, the most interactive way to explore select home listings on Zillow, today launched in the App Store for Apple Vision Pro. Zillow Immerse elevates the home tour experience to a jaw-dropping degree with its virtual walkthroughs and interactive 3D floor plans. "At Zillow, we're leaders in embracing the latest in technology to help more people get home with speed, confidence and ease," said Josh Weisberg, senior vice president of Artificial Intelligence. "Apple Vision Pro enables Zillow shoppers to fully experience homes as we envisioned when we first introduced Listing Showcase. This advanced spatial technology allows users to explore homes in a way that is the next best thing to being there in person." Zillow Immerse utilizes the full capabilities of Apple Vision Pro to teleport users inside a for-sale home, giving a panoramic 360-degree view of every room, from the ceiling to the floor. Home shoppers can take a virtual walk down hallways and pop their heads into every closet, all while using an AI-generated floor plan as a guide, providing a better understanding of where they are in the home's layout and getting a sense of its flow. 3D tours and interactive floor plans are key priorities for home buyers Zillow Immerse aligns with the preferences of home shoppers. According to Zillow's latest Consumer Housing Trends Report, 74% of prospective buyers agree that 3D tours help them to get a better feel for a home's space than static photos, and 70% wish that more listings had 3D tours available. One of the key features of Zillow Immerse is the AI-powered interactive floor plan, which helps users better understand the layout and flow of a home. Zillow's survey shows that more than half of prospective buyers regret wasting time visiting properties they would have skipped if they had access to the floor plan beforehand. At the same time, 79% of prospective buyers are more likely to view a listing if it includes a floor plan that appeals to them. Additionally, 3 out of 4 prospective buyers recognize the value of a dynamic floor plan, which links each photo to where it was taken in the floor plan, providing the best possible understanding of whether a particular home is the right fit for their needs. The listing of the future: Listing Showcase® on Zillow Zillow Immerse is an experience designed specifically for Apple Vision Pro utilizing Listing Showcase listings. Real estate agents who subscribe to Listing Showcase will now have their listings automatically integrated into the Zillow Immerse app. Listing Showcase is an elevated listing experience available only on Zillow. Showcase listings feature high-resolution scrolling hero images, room-by-room photo organization, interactive floor plans and 3D tours —technology that lends itself perfectly to the Zillow Immerse app for Apple Vision Pro. Listing Showcase, available to real estate agents nationwide, offers agents the tools to highlight a home's best features and gives buyers a deep understanding of the home before they ever step inside. See more information about Zillow Immerse on Apple Vision Pro here. About Zillow Group Zillow Group, Inc.

[VIDEO] Confused About Mobile? High Impact Millennial Growth Strategies for Serious Agents
Do you know how to reach Millennials on mobile? Most agents don't--but they know it's an important channel for reaching this up and coming group of new buyers. However, the Millennials use mobile differently than other generations, and what drives mobile users today has changed from even a few years ago. "So many Millennials would rather text than pick up the phone," says Elijah Young, Partner and VP of Marketing and Business Development for mobile app creator AgentProLink. According to Young, this may be "because of the speed, or because of the connectivity, or because they're inundated with 15 other things right now." Young was a panelist for yesterday's webinar, "Confused About Mobile? High Impact Millennial Growth Strategies for Serious Agents." Attendees learned how to reach Millennials--and anyone else using mobile to search for homes--using the most innovative mobile technologies available today.

The GoodLife Team's 5-Step Listing Presentation for iPad
Did you miss our iPad webinar with the GoodLife Team on Wednesday? No worries--we recorded it for you! The webinar featured a live iPad demonstration of the GoodLife Team's 5-step listing presentation. Watch the recording below for complete details, then click through to the next page to follow along with our notes. The 5-Step GoodLife Listing Presentation for iPad Evernote is one of the GoodLife Team's three "must have" apps. Presenter Garry Wise has multiple notebooks set up in Evernote: Prospective Clients, Buyers, Sellers, Closed, Templates, etc. Within "Sellers," he has a notebook for each of his listing clients. He chooses the client notebook of the current listing appointment and begins walking us through the five steps. Step 1: Understand Your Seller's Concerns Begin by reviewing the information you gathered during the initial phone consultation (contact info, best time to reach, where lead came from, interests, concerns, etc.) and make any necessary updates. The GoodLife Team has an Evernote template prepared to collect and organize all of this information. Step 2: Inspect Property with Client As you tour the home with the client, note what is needed to prepare the home to sell for its highest value, like repairs or staging. Use another Evernote template where you can note home features, recommended repairs, and anything you need to start marketing the home. If you can't type fast enough to document home features, just click the microphone icon at the top of Evernote to record audio. When you're done recording, Evernote will then drop the audio file wherever the cursor is in the document. Likewise, you can use the camera icon to take photos and save them in the document. Step 3: Marketing Plan The next step is use Keynote to show the client your marketing plan. See the GoodLife Team's example below. Step 4: Pricing Conversation Visuals are far more potent than words, so during the crucial pricing conversation, Garry uses Skitch to sketch out a pricing graph. You can create this from scratch, or import graphs and draw over them, as necessary. All Skitch drawings can easily be exported to Evernote and saved in the client's notebook. Next, go over the net sheet in Numbers, a spreadsheet app that--you guessed it--can export to Evernote, too. Step 5: Listing Agreement This is where the "magic" truly happens. Using zipForms (or whatever form solution you prefer) with DocuSign Ink, you can turn signing the listing agreement into a fun, memorable experience. The novelty of using their finger to sign the listing agreement on your iPad makes your clients feel that they are not signing their life away, but instead signing up for a great experience with you! Once the agreement is signed, you can export it as a PDF to Evernote from DocuSign Ink and--say it with me--save it to the client's notebook. The best part? You can then share the entire notebook with your client so that they'll have everything: the listing agreement, net sheet, marketing plan, and more!
