It seems these days, without your app’d out (we’re talking applications, not Apple, but I can see where you could get confused) iPhone, iPad and iPod, your life (or should I say “iLife”) would be at a stand still.  When it comes to Real Estate, these small devices are playing a HUGE role.  Whether you need help keeping track of your buyer’s requirements, finding the closest coffee shop to your new St. Petersburg listing or informing a family of registered sex offenders (or lack there of) in the area, there are apps for you!

After some intense searching (& input from a few fabulous St. Pete Realtors), we came up with a list of 11 apps (because I couldn’t stop at just 10) that may be helpful in the busy (and ever so successful) life of an iAgent.

Kurio: Think Nationwide MLS without having to find a computer.  Use the GPS Technology to find nearby houses, send out branded flyers and quickly share listing details right from your phone.  The great thing is, it isn’t only for iDevices.  Agents can register & sign into Kurio from any web-enabled mobile device.  (FREE! Visit Kurio.mobi on your device)

AroundMe: When a buyer wants to know exactly how far from their potential new home they need to trek for a iced quad venti soy latte and a movie, you will want to have this app handy.  Using that convenient GPS technology again, search the 10 categories for businesses closest to you, map them out and email directions within a matter of minutes.  This app is available for both iPhone & Android devices.  (FREE! Visit www.aroundmeapp.com)

MagicPlan: Carrying around a yardstick and sketching out floor plans are officially a thing of the past if you are equipped with the iPhone 4.  To make a long story short, using the phone’s fancy gyroscope technology, you are able to spin around a room to measure, draw and publish a JPEG or PDF interactive floorplan faster than you can say “what happened to my measuring tape?!”  On top of it all, the details you can add are icing on the cake- doors, sinks, refridgerators, the whole 9.  (FREE! Purchase through the iTunes store)

Tour Narrator: Keep track of your listings and type or record showing notes to share with your seller in one little application.  All notes and photos can be easily formatted to a PDF for posting or distribution.  ($1.99 Purchase through the iTunes store)

Dictionary of Real Estate Terms: New to Real Estate or want to stay brushed up on all the tricky terms?  Scroll through in alphabetical order to quiz yourself on what you know or search for that word that has you stumped.  You can also book mark things you tend to forget, send them in an email or post them to Twitter all from the same app!  ($1.99 Purchase through the iTunes store)

Mortgage Calculator: This application was created by Homes.com and has 4 different calculators in one: Buy or Rent, Debt to Income, Monthly Payment, & Refinance Calculator.  This could come in handy with non-pre-approved clients sitting on the fence with buying or renting as well as buyers trying to figure out what price range is right for their budget.  A few screen taps & the entry of some numbers can save hours of unnecessary showings and potential let downs.  (FREE! Purchase through the iTunes store)

My Realty Tool: Keeping track of listings, leads and lockbox codes has never been so straightforward.  The best part of the app is the simplicity of the lay-out:  There are 3 categories & you can enter a few lines of information, and everything you need is at your fingertips.  If only life was this easy!  (FREE! Purchase through the iTunes store)

Property Evaluator: Whether you are working with an investor or sending performance projections to clients, this app will make you look like the pro that you are.  Gain client trust by quickly calculating and tracking monthly and annual expense vs revenue reports, taking into consideration every detail- even inflation!  If their praise & appreciation doesn’t cause a little inflation to that head of yours, I’m not sure what will.  But regardless, you’re allowed to pat yourself on the back sometimes!  ($1.99 Purchase through the iTunes store)

Offender Locator: With this app, you can show potential buyers exactly how safe their future neighborhood is by using the GPS tool or simply entering their address.  This app is in the Top 5 free apps in the US & has been featured on both CNN and NBC.  It is a quick and easy solution to new families curious about local crime.  (FREE! Purchase through the iTunes store)

Foreclosure Search: Whether you have buyers and investors inquiring about foreclosed properties or are looking to gain some new bank-owned listings, this app by USHUD.com can be of assistance.  Search Nationwide for bank or government owned properties and inquire about the listing (by phone or email) with the tap of a screen.  (FREE! Purchase through the iTunes store)

Idea Sketch:  Sellers rightfully want to know why they should choose Smith & Associates Real Estate to list their home.  This app allows you to plan for Open Houses or lay out selling strategies in easy to use mind maps, concept maps or flow charts.  Whether you choose to save them as photos to send to your seller or share them on facebook, it is a quick and simple way to sketch out a master plan of action…now you just need the app that keeps the plan in action.  (FREE! Purchase through the iTunes store)

Well, that’s my list for now- I apologize if these applications consume your once paper and pencil filled life.  If you want nothing to do with the iPhone, please disregard everything you’ve just read.  However, if you are an Apple product lover like myself, what Real Estate relevant apps are you currently using?  Have you tried any of these 11?  What did you think?
