Jared Broussard • December 27, 2017
We all have apps on our phones and mobile devices that simply our lives, provide entertainment, and keep us organized. While scrolling through the App Store or Google Play Store it can be overwhelming if you don’t know what you’re looking for. There are a huge number of apps for a huge number of purposes. Here are 5 apps that can streamline your day-to-day professional life as a REALTOR®.
RPR Mobile
The RPR mobile app was designed exclusively for REALTORS®. It allows you to easily search properties, create reports, and observe market activity, all while you’re on the go. Using your phone’s location technology, local sales activity and pertinent property information like taxes and other historical data can all be accessed from anywhere.
Cloze
One telltale sign of a busy professional is an overflowing inbox, and a crowded calendar. Cloze is available to simplify this overwhelming issue. Cloze is designed to integrate all of your email accounts, calendars, and contacts; providing you with an organized, easy-to-use and understand dashboard. It is also designed to scan through emails looking for keywords like, “follow-up” so that no appointments get buried in your email.
DocuSign
Docusign is an app that allows for electronic signatures. This can help to alleviate the costs and hassles associated with paper-based transactions. Approvals and agreements can be completed in a matter of hours instead of days, allowing you and your clients to complete the documents on their own schedule. This app also allows you to check the status of a document, and even send reminders.
Taxbot
Taxbot is an app that puts your mileage and expense reporting on cruise control. With your phone’s GPS, your driving is automatically tracked. For your expenses, simply take a picture of your receipts and Taxbot will automatically categorize them and automate your report. This app can also identify expenses in emailed receipts and credit card statements.
Facebook Ad Manager
If you are leveraging the targeting power of social media, then the Facebook Ad Manager app is a must-have. This app allows you to access, edit, and control all of your ads and campaigns from the palm of your hand. You can even create new ads, adjust budgets, and track results so that you are always getting the optimum performance for you and your clients.

From the Louisiana Department of Insurance: Insurance Commissioner Tim Temple announced today that the Louisiana Department of Insurance (LDI) continues its work to develop a regulation creating benchmark discounts for Fortified roofs in Louisiana. The LDI is working with the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) to develop the benchmark discounts using Louisiana-specific data, hurricane modeling and actuarial considerations. “With over 11,000 Fortified roofs in Louisiana and two years-worth of insurer experience with rating for those roofs in our state, now is an appropriate time for the LDI to establish benchmark discounts for homeowners insurance companies operating in our market,” said Commissioner Temple. “These benchmarks are being thoughtfully developed to help consumers receive the discounts they deserve for fortifying their homes while making sure insurers know the benchmarks reflect how much Fortified roofs actually mitigate their exposure to risk across Louisiana.” Like in Alabama’s Fortified benchmark discount structure, the LDI regulation would require Louisiana insurance companies to either meet the minimum benchmark discount established by the LDI or provide actuarial justification for why the company’s discount does not meet the benchmark. Louisiana is the fastest growing state for Fortified roofs in America. To date, over 11,000 Fortified roofs have been installed in Louisiana, including over 4,100 through the Louisiana Fortify Homes Program.
