3 Real Estate Technologies You Would Actually Use

Today's topic is about real estate and specific technology tools that will apply to your business that can be implemented today.

1. Incoming

The first thing we recommend would be a messaging system, one that would be in place to discuss specific topics with the context in mind when responding. For our group, this is become the initial first source of contact for all tasks and inquiries. Some examples:
download Slack (we use this one)

2. Processing

In any team, group, or loose affiliates, we find that asynchronous communication (meaning, I send something, you receive and respond when available, then I respond, not 'in sync'). The purpose is to GET RID OF EMAIL and to "funnel" communications through one of these channels.
The second thing we recommend is to have a "Project Management Software", which is where the tasks are actually done, we recommend a processing system (such as the "Getting Things Done", "GTD" system):
download
Asana (we are transitioning to this one)

3. Putting It Together

Remember, NO APP IS AN ISLAND, find things that integrate with one another. The below are some "integration" that allow the apps to "speak to one another". To get theoretical for just a second, what we are recreating, is simply Microsoft Outlook, reminders, tasks, and calendaring systems use to be on one single platform (MS Outlook) that has now available 'a la carte', but for it to talk to one another is the priority.
In essence, you want your Google calendar (or iCalender, or other) to update on Slace/Hipchat, meaning that when a new calendar item is scheduled, it pops up on teamchat for everyone to know. Another one is Asana/Trello itself, which would post updates when they happen so you can communicate with it with the context in mind.
Specifically:
download (1)
IFTTT (we use this)
download (2)

There are many other more specific software for specific industries, this would be a good framework to 'get things done'.

Your First Home: Step 8-Protect Your Investment

Welcome to the world of home ownership, besides feeling like you signed your life away-how does it feel? You may find yourself feeling pride of ownership, because you now in fact own something. But with great power comes great responsibility-home maintenance. One of the best resources for you, even after the transaction, is going to be your real estate agent. Chances are, if you need a specific kind of vendor-they have one they trust and can refer you to. Home maintenance falls into two categories: Keep it clean and keep an eye on it. Review the maintenance needs for your home once you are settled in plan for regular service. If you notice something different, investigate it and fix it.

Why Real Estate is Such a Good (Great) Investment: Part 3-Sell it

This is the next installment of a 7 part series exploring ideas of why real estate is such a good investment. The focus will be on single family and multifamily real estate, but a good idea is a good idea, enjoy.  Alas, today we will be discussing the main thing people think about when they think about real estate investing, selling the asset high after buying low. The biggest advantage to selling real estate is the value added you can do yourself. There is no requirement to hire anyone to do any repairs on the property, as real estate is sold as is. You can do your own marketing, your own negotiating, there does not have to be anyone between you and the market unless you choose for there to be. You choose your partners at terms you both agree with. With that great power, comes great responsibility. Though you can do it yourself, it is more advisable to partner with those who do it every day, rather than every so often. Consider that a real estate transaction employs a...

Your First Home: Step 2-Hire Your Agent

Now that we have made the decision to buy your first home, scary I know-time to find a real estate agent to help you do it! What does a real estate agent do for you exactly?

Here are some great questions to ask them: 1.       Why did you become a real estate agent? 2.       Why should I work with you? 3.       What do you do better than other real estate agents? 4.       What process will you use to help me find the right home for me? 5.       What are some mistakes that you think people make when buying their first home? 6.       What are ...
