Questions can be answered live, as they occur, and features specific to that customer can be emphasized, so deals happen faster.
Some of the best apps are those that help to organize and coordinate your tasks. In real estate marketing, keeping track of tasks like blogging, social media posting, and email marketing can be daunting. This app brings order and helps you easily track your day-to-day activities from any location.
