There are several real estate programs that are not Android or iPhone (or even iPad) ready, namely MLS systems and numerous CRM tools. This can be frustrating for the agents who are equipped and ready to work remotely while on the go, but there are several tools in app stores that answer to this challenge.
Although not as fast or as easy to use (due to size and scroll limitations) as your native computer (Apple or PC), third party applications like TeamViewer allow you to fully control your computer remotely as long as you have an internet connection. TeamViewer is currently in beta but so long as you’re not using it commercially, your use will remain free after their official launch, according to their website.
Check out a quick demonstration:

Just FYI, the QR code didn’t work for me. If I type the URL in without the bits after the forward slash, it does work.
I’m going to check it out…
