Over the years, real estate agents have marketed themselves in a number of ways, with business cards, calendars, notepads,

refrigerator magnets, and many other methods. The idea behind these marketing materials is to keep the agent’s name in front of the consumer.

That’s the idea behind AgentNTouch™ (www.agentntouch.com), a consumer-focused smart phone app for agents to give to their clients.

How AgentNTouch™ Helps Real Estate Agents

With AgentNTouch™, real estate agents brand the opening screen with their photograph or business logo. It’s the first thing that consumer see every time they open the app, reinforcing the agent’s brand.

By default, the app comes with a map to the agent’s office, phone and e-mail links, a search feature for the top three listing sites in the U.S., and a feature for the consumer to refer the agent to a friend. The agent can fully customize this section to add his listings, open houses, neighborhood information, YouTube videos, RSS feeds, links to his web site and much more.

AgentNTouch™ does the rest, providing useful articles and videos for buyers and sellers, real estate tools and real estate-related news.  This information is updated daily, so the agent can focus on what he does best – selling real estate – and the consumer keeps coming back to the app for information that changes daily.

How AgentNTouch™ Helps Consumers

Buying or selling a home is so much more than searching for listings. If you’re buying a home, you want to know what your mortgage payment will be. What about taxes and insurance? What is an escrow? What should you look for in a home inspection?

If you’re selling a home, what repairs should you make? How important is staging? How should you price your home in a down market? How important is it to take photographs of your home for the listing?

AgentNTouch™ aggregates the answers to these questions from a multitude of sources to help the buyer or seller become more educated about one of the biggest financial decisions they will make.

The Closing

It’s easy to see the impact the smart phones have on society. You can’t go anywhere without seeing someone focused on the small device in his/her hand. Agents can now participate in this phenomenon with AgentNTouch™, putting their real estate business directly on the consumer’s smart phone.

AgentNTouch™ is available for iPhone, iPod touch, iPad (iOS 3.0 and later), Android and Droid® (OS 1.6 and later), and BlackBerry® (OS 4.6 or later). To find out more about AgentNTouch™, visit http://www.agentntouch.com.
