3 of the most essential types of apps for estate agents and property managers
In 2016, we can officially say that most of the digital growth has completely switched from desktop to mobile use. Consequently, the mobile app market is becoming big business and keeps going from strength to strength: according to data released in an infographic by the University of Alabama, the app market will soon generate $77 billion globally. Numbers are even higher according to online publication techcrunch.com that reckons it will actually be closer to $100 billion in revenue.
There aren’t many businesses left that don’t own their own app and the property management sector hasn’t been left out by this mobile app revolution with hundreds of business to business (B2B) and more generic apps that help you manage your property business on the go.
We look at some of the best types of apps out there that are soon set to revolutionize the way you work and interact with your customers.
