The Real Estate Tech Show is all about making technology work for you. And we’re talking about some epic timesavers in today’s episode. Because you shouldn’t be spending more than a couple of minutes looking at comps, not when you’re making your initial offer at least. There are apps out there that can give you access to property detail reports and sales history right on your phone or tablet.

Being able to do what you do on a mobile device is incredibly important. Anything that saves Joe time and money is automatically at the top of his favorites list, and he really loves RealQuest Express. Joe uses RealQuest to find zoning information, recorded mortgages, and old county records on his properties. It gives him everything he needs in one place, and he can easily share this information with his buyers as a PDF document.

For Cory, his ultimate comp tool is House Price Robot. Just like a hotel finder, House Price Robot collects information from all sorts of free realty sources (including Zillow and Redfin) and displays them in one place. There’s no point scouring the internet for the sales information on one property when House Price Robot can do it for you. Cory shares why the social media perks make this his favorite comp tool and how he uses it to connect with other investors on Facebook.

These are only a few of the comp tools we talk about today, and all but one of them are free. You don’t have to spend a lot of time or money on comps when you can make technology work for you. And when that tech is free, there’s no excuse for not using it! Try these out and let us know how they work for you on iTunes.
