The introduction of apps has made the life of a real estate agent just a little bit easier. Agents are constantly on the go and rely heavily on their mobile phone to communicate with clients but also to conduct business when they’re out on the road. It is just one click away on Evernote.As a real estate agent, one of the most stressful things that can happen to you is losing your mobile phone (although losing a vendor’s pet cat at an open home comes in a very close second). Never be without your most important documents, files, and information. My wife and I use it for everything from Christmas gift ideas, shopping lists, and vacation ideas to our “dream house” file which is filled with photos from web clippings. Today, we use it (and Trello) to make sure that our office processes are always up-to-date and accessible, make lists for things we need around this joint, and assign tasks and responsibilities to office personnel. It instantly increased our productivity and efficiency. Hell, at that time, sometimes free wasn’t even cheap enough. I started using Evernote as part of my real estate business about 2 years ago when we were first starting out and on an extremely limited budget. He even shares his file and notebook templates and shares valuable tips and tricks that make what could be complex simple for even a first time user. Dean walks you through the process of setting up your Evernote to be a powerful tool in your arsenal. If you want a comprehensive guide, however, I recommend Dean Oulette’s e-book, Evernote for Real Estate.

Krisstina Wise, is an Evernote Ambassador and covers it in her Paperless Agent training.

So, it would only be natural that someone would figure out how to use it for real estate. Sure, there’s a pay version that offers even more features, but most people can get by just fine with the free version. Oh, and did I mention it’s free? That’s right. It has incredible functionality that is so simple it can be used for any imaginable number of purposes.

Everyone knows Evernote, right? It’s an amazing tool for everything from making grocery lists to collecting and organizing things from the internet for ideas or to read later.
