Considering that most of us have grown an extra appendage, namely some sort of smart phone, I have decided to share with you some of my favorite “apps.” Yes, that’s right…my extra appendage is an iPhone. Unless you have been living under a rock, you know that there are applications for just about everything you could want or need. You could spend hours or even days looking at all of the possible apps. Since I am in the Real Estate business, here are some related apps you might find useful (or just plain fun).

I use the Dragon Dictation iPhone app for a variety of things. You just press the red record button and speak into your phone and when you are done press the button again. What you have recorded is then on your screen in written form. You can make changes to your document if you need to. You can then send your results by text message, email or copy it to your iPhone clipboard.

Evernote takes your notes, ideas, snapshots and recordings from your iPhone and syncs them directly to your MAC or Windows desktop. A great way to stay organized!

Real Estate Headline News gives you daily updates of all of the latest Real Estate news and information.

Real Estate Investment Calculator – This app tells you what a property is worth based on its cash flow.

You can even go house hunting by phone! There are various apps out there with info on open houses, current listings, home amenities, school info and much more. Alain Pinel Realtors has a great smartphone application for any web phone. Go to www.apr.com/mobile

I’d love feedback on your favorite apps. If you need further information, please feel free to contact me.

Take care, Jeff
