Working remotely has always been a long-standing challenge. However, with the advances in technology and mobile devices, it’s becoming substantially easier to leave the days of your old brick-and-mortar office behind. Now, you can manage your real estate business on the fly, provided that you’re equipped with the right suite of tools. These are three of the best apps we’ve found for getting the job done on the go.
Today’s biggest trends in the real estate industry? Mobile, mobile, mobile.
If you haven’t heard of dotloop and its “peoplework” concept, wake up! They’re single-handedly changing the nature of real estate transactions. You can use dotloop to create “loops,” or online workspaces for home sales, apartment rentals, expense reports or anything else that you need to keep in one central and secure location. That way, nothing gets lost and all of the applicable collaborators know exactly where they need to go to do their part. Once you’ve created your loop, collaborators can easily sign documents and negotiate, bringing the seemingly endless back-and-forth process to a close. Best of all? You can try it for free before you commit.

Whether you fax frequently or use it as an occasional medium, HelloFax’s flexible pricing plans are sure to have a suitable option for you.
