From streamlining your marketing efforts to staying organized on the go, to even keeping you safe during day-to-day realtor duties, these are the best apps for real estate agents who want to work smarter, not harder. Keep reading to discover which tools can simplify your workflow, boost productivity, and give you back time with your kiddos and loved ones!

Marketing Apps For Realtors

Canva

Price: Free Plans Available, $15/month for Canva Pro 

While Adobe products are still the gold standard in the design world, Canva is an easy-to-use tool for making graphics on your laptop or your phone. I use it for everything from listing announcements to neighborhood guides and even open house flyers.

As an active realtor (and a mom), I personally find it invaluable to be able to create graphics that look good quickly and easily—whether it’s during nap time or while waiting in the school pickup line. 

Pro Tip: Not sure where to start when creating a specific design for your business? Canva has a TON of templates, including a pretty big variety specifically created for real estate agents. These make it easy to whip up something fast and/or to get an idea of what to include (and how) within your own unique design!

Later

Price: Free Plans Available, $25+/month for paid plans

If you want to grow your real estate business, you need to be marketing yourself on social media, and having an app like Later on your phone can help you stay consistent. 

As a real estate coach for moms and active agent, I know how easy it can be to let posting to social media slip your mind when life gets hectic. Later lets you schedule content for your different social media platforms all in one place AND has the option to auto-post your content at the date and time of your choosing. 

Personally, I like to sit down and batch-create my posts for the week, and then let Later handle the actual posting for me, so it’s one less thing I have to keep track of and execute myself. This has been such a time-saver for me!!

Pssst—there’s even a “preview” option, so you can see how your feed will look with all your new posts before they even go live!

CapCut

Price: Free Plans Available, $7.99+/month for CapCut Pro

Have you ever seen a funny real estate meme on Instagram or Facebook and thought “how do people actually make these??” There’s a good chance they were made in the CapCut app (which has FREE plans)!

The best part? Those memorable meme posts making you crack a smile likely took less than ten minutes to make (which is great if you’re currently marketing your business during the little pockets of downtime during your day)!

Not only is CapCut great for memes, but it’s an easy-to-use video editor as well, giving you simple ways to add text, music, or other visual and audio effects to your content. Whether you want to create more polished-looking home tours, neighborhood spotlights, or even quick “day-in-the-life” videos to build your personal brand, CapCut can help you do that. 

Apps for Client Interactions

Docusign

Price: Paid Plans Start at $15/month

DocuSign is great for handling contracts, and it’s especially useful when you’re on the go. Instead of printing, signing, and scanning, you can just use DocuSign to get documents signed digitally. Having the app also means you can update them as things change from your phone!

Curb Hero

Price: Free Plans Available, $20/month for the standard plan.

Curb Hero is one of the best apps for real estate agents who host open houses. Instead of scrambling to find paper and pen before the doors open, Curb Hero lets visitors sign in on their  phones (or your tablet) with just a few taps. Not only does this create a great first impression, it also keeps your leads organized in a way that’s easy to reference later when you do your follow-ups!

Apps for the Backend of Your Real Estate Business

Quickbooks

Price: Free Plans Available, $24+/month for paid plans

I’m the kind of real estate coach who is going to insist you know your numbers. I love how Quickbooks automatically tracks mileage, so I don’t have to think about it, and it keeps all my transactions organized. 

Plus, as a mom and an agent, I don’t have time to be sifting through receipts or spreadsheets. Having everything in order (and accessible from my phone) means that I always know how much profit I’m making.

Slack

Price: Free Plans Available, $7.25/month for Slack Pro 

Slack is my go-to for team communication. It’s especially handy if you’re managing a small team or collaborating with an assistant. Slack keeps conversations organized in channels, so there’s no endless back-and-forth email chains, and it lets me communicate quickly, even if I’m out and about.

Pro Tip: You can even set “Do Not Disturb” times, which I personally like to use when I’m with family so I don’t get overwhelmed by notifications!

Supra eKEY

Price: $50 one time fee (need to double check this)

When I say that technology is amazing, just know that I’m probably talking about Supra eKEY.  This mobile app lets you access lockboxes with just your phone (which means no more digging for keys or keeping track of codes).

Plus, as a mom, knowing this app includes tracking and access reports gives me a little extra peace of mind when showing properties solo.

Other Apps for Realtors

bSafe

Price: $4.99/ month or $49.99/years

Speaking of safety,  bSafe is my go-to personal safety app that allows you to set up alerts for friends or family, letting them track your location during showings or meetings. It even has an SOS feature that sends your GPS location instantly if you need help.

Toggl

Price: Free Plans Available, $9+/month for paid plans

Toggl is perfect for tracking your time, especially when you’re splitting hours between work and family. With Toggl, I can easily keep tabs on how much time I’m actually spending on tasks like client calls, showings, or marketing. It keeps me honest with myself about where the time is going!

For moms who are always juggling, it’s super helpful for spotting time drains and making sure the hours we’re putting in are actually productive. Plus, with the Toggl app, it’s easy to “start” and “stop” tracking your time as you switch activities, so that time tracking doesn’t eat up a huge chunk of organizational time either.

The Gist

For busy real estate agents—especially moms balancing business and family—having the right apps can make all the difference. With apps like Curb Hero for open houses, Canva for quick graphics, and QuickBooks for financial tracking, you’ll be set up to grow your real estate business with a little more ease.
