Real estate agents have a lot of responsibilities to juggle. You may start your day by catching up on emails and then get pulled in a dozen directions as the day goes on.
By lunchtime, you have answered emails, made calls, met with a client, showed a property and scheduled an open house.
Being busy is good. Being busy is how you make money. But, how can you keep up with everything and still provide the same level of exceptional service your clients have come to expect from you?
Here are some of our favorite tools to help you maximize your results while minimizing your effort:

Folio
Not to brag, but Folio is an amazing tool to help you manage your real estate email and transaction communications. When your business depends on staying in touch, you need to have a tool to help you filter through the noise and find what is most important in your email.
Folio is an add-on that integrates seamlessly with your email account. It uses powerful AI tools to keep your email organized and reduce the work you need to do to keep everyone you’re working with on track.
You will be prompted to create Smart Folders that are tied to different clients or properties, and the tool will intuitively organize your incoming emails into the appropriate folders. It will show you all the related attachments, contacts, and dates whenever you’re viewing an email.
This helps you get to the information you need quickly, without having to scroll through pages and pages of spam or perform endless searches in your email to find that one document.
What’s more, Folio integrates with many common business products, including Microsoft Office365, Gmail and Google Calendar, Dropbox, and more. You can even set up transaction timelines through our integration with Google Calendar, keeping you informed and on-track and automate reminders for everyone involved in the deal.
One person can only do so much but by leveraging tools such as Canva, Breakthrough Broker, HomeJab and Folio, you can increase your productivity, simplify your workflows, improve your marketing and keep it all together.
