Four Gadgets For Real Estate Agents

The following article lists four gadgets that can improve the chances of success for any real estate agent who sells homes after homes.

Many real estate agents have found themselves in the midst of a depressed housing market, which has led to more competition and an increased amount of innovation on their part in order to remain viable and successful. In the past, real estate agents employed a number of strategies to gain exposure and ensure the highest chance of closing the deal, but many real estate agents have found these tactics to be lacking in a 21st century marketplace. Any real estate agent who wishes to take advantage of modern technology to sell home after home will enjoy the following four gadgets that can improve their chances of success.

DeLorme InReach


Any real estate agent that spends time in the field will tell you that cellular reception can sometimes be spotty. This is where the DeLorme InReach can be of valuable assistance: a satellite communicator that works with any smartphone to deliver consistent reception regardless of wherever you may find yourself. This device utilizes the Iridium satellite network, which provides universal coverage and the ability to send texts, receive notifications and communicate without hassle. Once you install the DeLorme app on your smartphone, the device simply needs to be turned on and cellular coverage is provided. You can order the InReach currently via DeLorme for $250.

GoPano Micro


A variety of real estate agents provide virtual tours of select listings, but many agents have not bothered to utilize this option in their online listings as of yet. The GoPano Micro is a very affordable solution that can provide panoramic videos in 360 degrees. Currently available for $60, the GoPano Micro comes with its own case in order to snap it onto any iPhone. No special app is needed to use the device – simply attach it to the iPhone, press record and the video will be captured in panoramic style. Real estate agents will then be able to upload the video to that home's listing and allow prospective buyers to get a feel of the premises.

Lytro Camera


One of the worst feelings for any real estate agent is when they have taken many pictures of a given listing, only to found out later that some came out blurry or out of focus. With the Lytro Camera, however, users can avoid this fate through its unique approach to photography. The Lytro Camera focuses each photo at your discretion – after they have been taken – which allows you to get the best results no matter what. The Lytro captures the light field of the imagery, which allows it to be altered after the fact – perspective and focus can both be altered on a dime. The Lytro Camera can be purchased direct from the manufacturer for as little as $300.

VuPoint Portable Scanner


What real estate agent doesn't have to deal with tons of paperwork throughout the process of selling any home? The VuPoint Portable Scanner allows real estate agents to quickly digitize any document for later review and frees them from the hassle that document storage usually entails. The included memory card will store any scanned document and the device can scan in either black and white or color for optimal results. With multiple scanning resolutions and the ability to scan virtually any type of document, real estate agents on the go can turn any piece of paper into a digital copy without struggle.

The Best Top Of The Line Dual SIM Android Phones

If you're a frequent traveller or you're forced to carry a business phone that doesn't allow you to make personal calls, you've probably already considered a dual SIM phone. Dual SIM mobile phones let you simultaneously use two SIM cards, meaning that you don't have to carry two hand sets around with you, and you don't run the risk of missing calls whilst switching SIM cards between one phone. Up until recently one of the problems with having a dual SIM mobile phone was that they were distinctly lacking in features. However, as smart phones become more and more common, more manufacturers are adding dual SIM features to existing technology. This is good news for consumers, because it means that there are now some top of the line dual SIM phones on the market. If you're looking for something high end that also happens to be a dual SIM phone, then check out some of these models...

The Samsung Galaxy Beam - Fabulous Or Failure?

Samsung has a long and well respected history within the electronics field, and especially in the mobile phone industry. This Korean company has continuously brought products to market which are sure to please every taste and budget. As a company that usually appeals to the masses, it is somewhat odd that they have created such a niche product, which is the Samsung Galaxy Beam. Although this is a mid-level cell phone, the unique projector feature may make this phone neat, but the overall stats of this phone leave a good deal to be desired. Since most people are interested in this phone solely for the projector, we will start there.
