Citation preview
There’s an App for That!
Most of the apps below were shared at our “There’s an App for That” session, but there are a few new apps added
including a great one that allows you to access the MLS on your iPad. As luck would have it, Onlive Desktop was
announced the day of our session! Although currently only available for the iPad, it is expected that an Android app will
be announced soon.
Some of the apps below are specific to iPhone or Android but if you do a google search, you may find a similar app for
your device.
Real Estate Apps:
My favorite real estate app is Zillow which shows homes around you that are for sale and includes a nice
mortgage calculator. Trulia and Realtor.com have similar apps. Other real estate apps include: NARExpress,
USHud, Karl’s Mortgage Calculator

Dropbox - Cloud syncing between PC/Mac/Mobile device. Ideal for saving files! First download Dropbox to your
desktop or laptop and then add the app to your phone or tablet. Once you save a file to Dropbox, it will sync to your
mobile devices so you can access them from anywhere! Free.
Evernote – Dropbox is for files and Evernote is for everything else. Capture anything including photos, screen captures,
voice. Ideal for note taking!! First download to your desktop or laptop and then add the app to your phone or tablet.
