Are you reaching buyers where they prefer to browse? The majority of home buyers first see the property they eventually purchase online. If you’re not making use of these online real estate apps and sites, then you are missing out!
Realtor.Com
You might visit realtor.com to get the latest news and insights about the business, but don’t underestimate the number of buyers who browse the site for available homes. It’s essential that you use keywords effectively on this site; otherwise, buyers may not see your listings when they use specific search terms.
Homesnap
This app is really interesting. It allows users to take a photo of a property and then use an image search to find available information about the sale. It’s also more social than some other real estate apps and sites, with messaging and sharing features that others on this list lack. In addition, the site is updated in real-time, which is a boon for serious buyers.
Homes.Com
Although it might not offer additional bells and whistles above and beyond the other sites and apps on this list, homes.com is a solid platform. The app makes it a little easier to search for properties outside your current location, which is useful for buyers planning an out-of-state move.
Zillow
Zillow is the most downloaded real estate app for both Apple and Android phones. They were one of the first searchable, customer-facing online real estate sites, and they’ve continued to innovate. Potential buyers can find a wealth of information beyond the listing price, including estimated taxes and payments.
Trulia
Right behind Zillow, in terms of downloads, is Trulia. That might be whay Zillow acquired it! This app tends to cater to more serious buyers, providing links to email or call the listing agent. Users can quickly search for homes that fit their needs and budget. Then they can easily contact the real estate agent representing the home for more information or to set up a tour.
