Different mobile applications nowadays facilitate real estate transactions. - IStock / City Presse

Being a real estate agent today means being connected. With a smartphone or a tablet, professionals now have a series of tools at their disposal to do their job. A brief overview of the interfaces.

Facilitate the sale

In order to make a refined promotion of the goods for which they are responsible, real estate agents can first of all use Netty, an app which allows in particular to seize in a few clicks a new good, to take a picture of it and to distribute it all on social networks. Likewise, this tool makes it possible to register a potential buyer and to liaise with the seller. As for those who want to offer 3D views of the apartments, they can use MagicPlan to allow their customers to project themselves into the accommodation.

To maximize their chances of finding a taker, the pros can also share their sales mandates on Lici, an application that allows competing agencies to work together with a common objective: sell at the best price as soon as possible.

Simplify funding

If it is recommended to carry out preliminary simulations of financing before embarking on a research, it is not uncommon that the favorite does not fit into the planned scheme. Result: the time to obtain an adequate proposal, the cozy nest could pass you under the nose. To avoid this waste of time, Swifti sees itself as a pocket broker.

On the spot, from the real estate agent's smartphone or tablet, the individual will answer a series of questions aimed at establishing their situation. The algorithm will then tell him if it is financable, if the file is complex or will offer him a recalculated envelope downward if he has had eyes bigger than his portfolio, without forgetting to present the offers of banks that can finance his project. Once this first step has been completed, the necessary supporting documents must be sent online to constitute the file.

This solution makes it possible to obtain financing within a month for the most responsive customers, with telephone support with a broker until the sale. This app is remunerated like a conventional brokerage company, namely by the bank and the buyer (1,250 euros on average for the latter).

Manage the property

Do you own a property and would you like to get into rental investment? While some mobile tools aim to support real estate agents, others intend to replace them. The promise: practical online services, at a lower cost than a traditional manager.

Rental management is dematerialized with interfaces like Flatlooker, which allows you to create a rental file, secure the file and make an electronic signature before concluding the inventory. Wizi is surfing in the same niche, having the vocation of simplifying the relationship between lessor and tenant through storage and online consultation of procedures and legal documents relating to rental.
