Posted at 15:25h, 11 MayA sponsored post is probably not the best place to discuss this, but is anyone aware of an app development service that sells high quality agent apps or app templates that integrate with third party IDX or RETS services and CRM providers? It seems most of the apps marketed to the agent market are pretty weak when compared to apps like Zillow or Redfin, and it’s understandable given the development resources those companies have, but it would be nice to at least have a competent app that could have integration with searches setup by the agent and client outside the app environment, and get tied into CRM followup and email campaigns.
On another point, can anyone provide example cases in which an agent was successful with client adoption of an app? I use Android, and every time a company that sells these agent branded apps comes across my table, I look them up in the Android Play app store, and all I see are dozens of examples of apps that have between 1 and 50 installs. Even at 50 installs, that probably translates to at best 5 users that actually use the app.

Posted at 12:50h, 15 MayHello Luke! HomeStack (featured above) does have a proprietary feed that provides listings directly from the MLS and updates to the minute with listing information on solds, actives, pending, open houses and even leases. There’s an opportunity to secure your own name in the app stores (like OC Luke or Laguna Properties etc.) In regards to your comment about most of these apps not having many downloads, you’re RIGHT! We’ve noticed that as well. But I will say that the agents that are determined to share their app on every piece of marketing and in their call to actions have shown tremendous success. We’ve had clients that have gotten several hundred downloads within the first 30 days which translated into a mixture of new clients, listings and closed escrows. I hope this info helps and good luck! 🙂
