However, with the advances in technology and mobile devices<\/a>, it\u2019s becoming substantially easier to leave the days of your old brick-and-mortar office behind. Now, you can manage your real estate business<\/a> on the fly, provided that you\u2019re equipped with the right suite of tools<\/a>. These are three of the best apps we\u2019ve found for getting the job done on the go.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_74484\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"980\"]\"Today's<\/a> Today's biggest trends in the real estate industry? Mobile, mobile, mobile.[\/caption]\r\n\r\n1.\u00a0\"\"<\/a>\r\n<\/a>\r\n\r\nIf you haven\u2019t heard of dotloop and its \"peoplework\" concept, wake up! They\u2019re single-handedly changing the nature of real estate transactions. You can use dotloop to create \u201cloops,\u201d or online workspaces for home sales, apartment rentals, expense reports or anything else that you need to keep in one central and secure location. That way, nothing gets lost and all of the applicable collaborators know exactly where they need to go to do their part. Once you\u2019ve created your loop, collaborators can easily sign documents and negotiate, bringing the seemingly endless back-and-forth process to a close. Best of all? You can try it for free before you commit.\r\n\r\n2.\u00a0\"\"<\/a>\r\n\r\nIf you still use fax machines to send important documents and contracts and, like most people, don\u2019t have a fax machine of your own, consider HelloFax. Operating under the assumption that most faxes these days serve to collect signatures, HelloFax allows you to sign, initial and fill out important documents before sending them to your recipient via email or fax. Whether you fax frequently or use it as an occasional medium, HelloFax\u2019s flexible pricing plans are sure to have a suitable option for you.\r\n\r\n3.\u00a0\"\"<\/a>\r\n<\/a>\r\n\r\nQuickoffice Pro is one of the most comprehensive mobile document editors on the market today, especially if you\u2019re a die-hard fan of the Microsoft Office suite. With Quickoffice, you can create, edit and share Microsoft Office files, including Excel spreadsheets and PowerPoint presentations. The tool allows you to access and share your Google Drive files as well. It\u2019s also great for adding notes and marks to PDF files. Want even more? Quickoffice offers integrations with some of our favorite cloud-based software solutions like Dropbox, Box, Evernote and more. And for a mere $15, all of this is yours in the palm of your hand.\r\n\r\nWhat\u2019s your favorite app or tool when it comes to working on the fly?

The app's drive-time tool will also filter results using preferences like home price and number of bedrooms and bathrooms.\r\n\r\nDrive times from listings within the Twin Cities and western Wisconsin markets served by Re\/Max Results are based on traffic, location and time of day.\r\n\r\nBuilt by Minneapolis-based app-maker Mobile Realty Apps for Apple's iOS operating system, the Re\/Max Results app is powered by INRIX's \"Drive Time\" search tool, which is plugged into anonymous direction and speed data that's updated every 15 seconds\u00a0from 100 million vehicles, certain mobile apps and U.S. government-maintained magnets in highways.\r\n\r\n\"Inrix\"<\/a>\r\n\r\nProperty detail page in Re\/Max Results' new Apple app showing INRIX Drive Time stats.<\/em>\r\n\r\nWindermere Real Estate rolled out a desktop version of INRIX's \"Drive Time\"<\/a> search in August. But this is the first time Drive Time will be integrated into a mobile app,\u00a0Kevin Foreman, INRIX general manager of geoanalytics, told Inman News.\r\n\r\nEach property description surfaced with a Drive Time search features drive-time estimates to the specified locations.\r\n\r\nTime is the new way of measuring distance, Foreman said, not miles and kilometers.\u00a0\u201cFew people say, \u2018I live 17 miles from work.\u2019 They say, \u2018I live 25 minutes from work,' \u201d he said in a statement.\r\n\r\nIn June 2012, Re\/Max Results integrated Mobile Realty Apps' HomeSpotter\u00a0augmented reality tool<\/a> into its Apple and Android apps, which allowed users to see property details overlaid on their phones when pointed at a property, as well as the location of nearby homes for sale.\r\n\r\nEarlier this year, Tucson, Ariz.-based Long Realty rolled out Android and Apple consumer apps built by Mobile Realty Apps<\/a> that surface for-sale homes from the shared pool of listings made available by participating brokers in a multiple listing service (MLS) -- Internet Data Exchange (IDX) -- with more in-depth MLS data like recently sold homes.","post_title":"INRIX search-by-commute-time tool now baked into
