One of the great things about owning an iPhone, iPad, or an Android-based mobile device is all the fun applications that improve the quality of both your life and your business.

At our recent Awesome Females in Real Estate conference, Cary Sylvester, the executive director of technology for Keller Williams, spoke at a great session, entitled, “There’s an App for That: Technology Tools to Drive Your Business.” The cost of most of those apps she discussed ranges from free to $1.99.

The first category Sylvester discussed was communication. (Please note that these apps are available for both Apple and Android operating systems, unless noted.)

1. Google Voice
Most agents have multiple phone numbers on their cards and their marketing materials. The challenge is that clients have neither the time nor the inclination to track the agent down. Google Voice creates a single, personalized phone number that rings on all of your phones at the same time.
