Selling Seattle real estate and being the best Seattle real estate agent that I can be involves using the best tools I can find. Finding the tools that help me be more efficient with my clients is in everyone’s best interest: So in that spirit, here are a few of my favorite things! These are things that I would ask any new or seasoned agent wanting join my brokerage to look at to help them serve their Seattle clients. Gadgets and tools that make my job as a Seattle real estate agent easier and more efficient:

1. Smart Phone: I use a Palm Treo 700 WX – I love it and it makes getting my email on the go very easy. I also have the MLS software for opening houses loaded right onto my phone so there is less to carry around. Let’s face it, Email is better answered more promptly!
2. eFax: Faxes to and from my computer – faxes on the go means that I can get you the info quicker.
3. Docusign: No more late night run out to get a signature – just send it over with email and the clients love it.
4. Active Rain: Blogging on AR has been a huge change to the way I do business, but I have actually met a lot of nice clients on the site and love the interaction and networking that goes on with other agents around the country. If you have a relocation need, I now have easy access to agents in every state.
5. GPS: Doesn’t work well with new construction, but a must just the same.
6. Vflyer: A great easy way to present listings – great for showing off some of those houses and their attributes.

My latest favorite toy? My Flip Video Camcorder – very easy to use – I like to put together walking tours of houses for my out of town RELO clients. It makes it really easy for them to visualize driving up the street to the house because they can see it.

Being a real estate agent is a lot more than selling houses – having some of the right tools makes the job a lot more efficient and easier for the clients.
