Being a real estate agent can be a rewarding job, especially if you work solely as a buyer's agent. However, the job can get hectic from time to time and you may feel disorganized. You may also feel that you don't have enough information handy to help your clients make the best decision possible. Thankfully, there are ways you can fix these issues. All it takes it downloading a few inexpensive apps to your IPhone. Here are just five of the best apps for real estate agents.
Sketches - $1.99
A picture isn't always worth a thousand words. In fact, there are times when a picture may leave the person even more confused. With Sketches, you can take a photo and then draw on it to convey information to your clients. For example, you might use arrows to point out certain features or write down the distance between two properties. Either way, this is a great app to have.

Being able to give your clients instant information is essential. With this app you can quickly tell clients about the restaurants, banks, grocery stores and other shops in the area. This can make it much easier for a client to make a decision.

Walk Score - Free
People in big cities want to be able to walk to everything.
