Real estate can be a highly rewarding career: you get to meet interesting people and help them secure their dream homes, and you’ll rarely have a day where there’s nothing to do and you feel bored. 

That said, the fast-paced nature of the role can be a bit much sometimes, and while you can learn to thrive in this sort of environment, doing so requires a strong foundation in being highly organized. 

In this article, you’ll learn about four clever pieces of technology that can help you.

1. AI Voicemail Services

Given the real estate lifestyle touched on above, missing a phone call can easily mean you end up missing a sale. AI (artificial intelligence) has proven itself to have many clever applications in the last couple of years, and one unique use case is as a virtual voicemail assistant. 

AI voicemail uses language model technology to provide real-time responses to phone calls and can naturally answer a client’s questions. It can then decipher the necessary information from the call and log it for you to respond to later. 

2. Virtual Tour Software

One of the most useful technological advancements within the real estate industry is virtual tour software. Tools like Matterport can take imagery from a property and create life-like three-dimensional models for the prospective buyer to explore on their phone, tablet, or desktop. 

This is great for buyers who aren’t able to attend showings in person for whatever reason, and they can save you time by reducing the amount of repeat viewings necessary for a sale. 

3. Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Software

Customer Relationship Management (CRM) has revolutionized industries across the board, and the real estate sector is no different. 

CRM acts as a central hub for your client negotiations, allowing you to organize key data, automate follow-ups, and understand trends about the types of properties certain client types typically go for. 

Rather than having multiple pieces of software and numerous physical ring binders, you can instead centralize your relationships with clients into one cohesive system. 

4. Electronic Signage Software 

As a real estate agent, you know there’s a lot of paperwork involved with this career.

Thankfully, the advent of electronic signage software like Adobe Acrobat streamlined the process considerably. Nowadays, you don’t need to mess around with bits of paper that have to be physically signed by the client and can get lost – all of your documents can be signed remotely and held securely on your digital devices.

These pieces of software enable the client to type as well as write by hand with a stylus, so if you have a hard time reading handwriting, you can have them use the former option. 

Wrapping Up

Hopefully, some or all of these pieces of technology were new to you, and this article has inspired you to try out new tools to increase your working efficiency. There are many more options available, of course, so keep your eyes peeled for other tech that might be useful to you.
