Top 4 Home Buying And Selling Apps

What if you could use a smartphone to help you track properties that are listed for sale, or flex the selling process? The real estate market has embraced digital technology and business strategies that involve coming up with tools and apps that will guide you through the entire home selling and buying process.

But how do you differentiate helpful and easy to use apps from ones that aren’t? Here are the top four real estate apps that bring together both property sellers and buyers, in an easy to use fashion:

1. Homes.com

This app is free and available for download on all smartphone devices, with both Android and iOS versions. Currently, the application has over 4 million real estate properties listed therein, each with close to a hundred photos, videos, maps and virtual tours.

It also has a chat option, where both sellers and buyers can freely interact, and have their queries answered and clarifications made. The application is also easy to use, so users don’t need any technological or IT related skills to be able to interact with the service.

2. MagicPlan

The MagicPlan app makes buyer and seller interactions easier by automating the floor plan and measurement aspects of home viewing. Just by taking pictures of the home, the app calculates distances and measurements of house plans.

The property’s seller, therefore, doesn’t have to worry about answering floor plan and measurement queries for their possible buyers. This will save time for both parties involved.

Most importantly, buyers will get a better idea of the floor plans and measurements that will help ease their decision making, particularly with home décor.

3. Xome

The Xome app provides buyers and sellers with yet another interaction point where they can list and view homes available for sale, in any part of the country. Today, the app has over 100 million properties listed for sale, complete with photos, maps, and descriptions.

The app also avails users with a filter option, allowing them to view listings based on their price, number of bedrooms, square footage, and nearby amenities, like schools and hospitals.

Most importantly, the Xome app not only links buyers and sellers, but it also puts either in touch with an agent to guide them through the buying or purchase process.

4. Realtor.com

This app prides itself as having one of the most comprehensive listings on the market today. The app is mainly localized, and will help potential home buyers find nearby properties that they would have ordinarily missed.

Property sellers also benefit from having their homes showcased in the local communities. The listings here are updated every fifteen minutes. It also has a filter option that allows for the searching of homes based on locations, zip codes, and home specifications (like the number of rooms and square footage), as well as price.

The app also suggests the market value of different homes, thereby helping sellers make an informed decision when pricing their homes, and buyers to avoid overpriced properties.

The app is available on both Android and iPhones, and supports other interactive tools, like Google Chromecast, that allows you to stream the property information and directions to your TV.

Bottom Line

Long gone are the days when property agents served as the only intermediary between home buyers and sellers in the country. Through technology and digitization of the real estate market in the country, you now have access to easy to use smartphone applications. With all this said, apps aren’t like speaking to a professional realtor, so call Rebecca’s Realtor with any questions!

These applications will give you access to an even more extensive selection of properties listed for sale across the country. You will be able to find exactly what you’re looking for, faster than ever before.
