Whether it’s the Facebook group you use for referrals, the transaction management tool you swear by or the checklist you developed your first year as an agent, when you’re running your real estate business, it’s easy to find something that works — a routine, a system, a program — and keep treading that same ground over and over.

But doing things the same way like it’s Groundhog Day is also called a rut, and it could be decreasing your efficiency. Consider trying some of these hot apps, and see if one of them can help you find a new and better way to grow your business.

1. Canva

If you are paying someone to create custom graphics and designs for your social media sharing, flyers and other presentations, take a look at Canva.

While the desktop platform has been around (and been beloved) for a while, the app is every bit as good and even more convenient.

Upload photos, or use the vast image library, and create custom graphic elements you’ll be proud to share, then do just that with the integrated share feature. Never put a same-old, same-old photo on your Instagram again.

2. Videolicious

If you’re seeking to leverage the power of video to promote your business or communicate with current clients, Videolicious is for you. With personalized, branded videos you’ll bring in more leads, convert them into clients and then stay with them throughout the sale process.

It increases engagement and allows you to provide a level of client service that text alone can’t match.

3. RealClozer

Want to increase your reach and build your referral network? RealClozer is a new app rolling out this summer. Get in on the ground floor as an early adopter to connect with like-minded agents around the corner or around the world.

Be the first to know about pre-market listings, and reach out to your network with buyer needs.

Find referral partners, and increase your outgoing and incoming client referrals. If you work with real estate investors, you’ll be able to browse and upload off-market listings straight from the app.
