Build Your Own Website or Real Estate App
REALTORS are constantly having to keep up on their marketing tactics and for a little over a year now we have been hearing how there is a new online presence to integrate into their brand’s marketing mix, the App. We have seen REALTORS go from simple newspaper ads, to websites and mobile websites and now we have Apple and Android Apps being brought into the picture.
outsystem’s Agile Platform let’s you have a fully functional, dynamic presence that is customizable to your needs in a matter of weeks. You can even add other Apps within your Website app to extend your customer’s experience with a unique user experience.
AppMakr is probably the fastest of the App platforms and can help you navigate the submission process. They even give you a sneak peek of what your iPhone app will look like (before the full customization of course) and all you have to do is enter the URL of your existing website. With AppMakr you can create apps for iPhone, iPad, Windows Phone and Android Phones and Tablets.
Smarter Agent gives real estate professionals their own branded MLS search App. Currently it supports all platforms with the exception of the Windows Phone. It is costly. One year paid in full costs $5393.95 or you can pay monthly for $49.95 with a two month minimum.
Google’s App Inventor is perfect for those REALTORS that are more tech savvy than most of us. It is like a complicated puzzle where you fit the pieces together starting with the look and moving on to the functionality of the App.
MultiAd is ideal for those real estate agents looking for an App that is a little more complicated in nature, providing them the ability to not only meet their clients needs, but outshine the competition.
