Real estate productivity tips

In an action-packed Google+ Hangout On Air, we dug deep into productivity tips and tools for real estate professionals, and it turns out that there were enough tips for non-real estate professionals, that we got a lot of great feedback from all over the nation (and even Canada)!

Below is the list of every productivity tool we mentioned in the #GeniusLive Google+ Hangout, but if you’d rather watch the replay of the event, you can do so in the AGBeat Interactive Video Library where you can also see when the next events are in topics ranging from finance to marketing, and you can sign up for alerts to know first about any event announced or replay posted!

All of the tools mentioned in the Hangout:

    We use IgniteVideo (ignitevideo.com) to shoot, edit, publish and share video. It’s a video app for real estate built by two San Francisco real estate professionals.

    Great list of tools. I shared your post on my facebook page. But I could not help thinking that there was a tool that could have made me more productive, while I was doing it.

    Pretty awesome tech article! I wish you would have given XiLi a shout too. They offer real estate text lead capture for any type of marketing for under $10 for individual agents.
