Disclaimer: This article was updated in February 2020 to reflect new Mobile APPs useful to Realtors when running their day-to-day activity.
As a real estate agent, you’re always on the go meeting new clients, viewing the property and signing contracts.
Time is of the essence, and having the right information available when you need it can mean the difference between signing a contract and losing a valuable customer.
Most of the mobile apps below relate to customer relationship management or CRM, schedule planning, customizable reports, but also marketing, time tracking, and others, same as desktop versions of CRM solutions.
The basic idea behind all of these apps is to save realtors time and offer a more straightforward way to manage their day to day tasks – time means money, even more so for realtors. Here is our list of the best mobile apps for real estate agents in 2020.
1. MLSImport
Although it’s not a dedicated mobile application, MLS Import can help your business and saves you a lot of time and money when creating your real estate website. MLS Import is a RESO API based import tool that allows you to connect to your MLS and showcase MLS properties from your area into specific Premium Real Estate WordPress themes.
MLS Import is a new popular plugin that thousands of real estate agents already use to build their Real Estate website. Contact their support team to confirm if your MLS is on the supported list, and MLS Import staff does all the work for you!

RPR Mobile is another real estate app worth looking into. This property research app allows users to view market statistics, create branded reports, search properties, and more.
Since it was designed exclusively for realtors, RPR Mobile is the perfect choice for real estate agents & real estate teams.
One feature we found especially interesting is the “Distressed Properties” tab – a list of properties and owners who were unable to pay their mortgage and might want to cash out.
This is a great way to find excellent properties at a sub-market price. RPR Mobile is available on Android as well as iPhone.
