The iPad and other tablet devices appear to be designed especially for salespeople. These days, being a successful Realtor requires more than just a smart phone and a nice SUV. Having a tablet to take on property showings with prospective buyers is essential for successful Realtors in the current market. Here are a few reasons why:
- While driving around viewing properties, prospective buyers can look at photos of property comparables that have either sold or are currently active. This saves a Realtor time to not have to show all of the comparables in person. The tablet puts virtual tours of the comparables right at the fingertips of potential buyers.
- For the buyers that want it ALL but only have a small budget, showing them tours of comparable properties in their price range on a tablet device can also be a huge time saver. A tablet is a window into different tiers of homes in a short amount of time. For example, this is what your budget will get you versus spending $100K more, this is what you will get.
- If a Realtor drives by a new listing while showing a prospective buyer a home, a tablet will allow one to pull up the subject property quickly to view photos and listing information. Using applications for iPad such as ‘HomeSnap,’ also allows prospective buyers to get a 365 degree view of the neighborhoods they are shopping in.
If you’re a Realtor consider stepping up your game with a tablet device. A tablet is an invaluable sales tool and can certainly save you time and gas money with prospective buyers!
