Ever felt that you, as a real estate agent, are on “information overload” when it comes to available technology?  Such information overload can lead to “Analysis Paralysis” when it comes to selecting technology that will help your real estate business.

When I need to find out what works when it comes to making money and saving money in my business, I go to my CyberStars®, 225 top agents in the US, Canada, the Bahamas and Australia who focus on what works, not on what’s cool!

We just finished our 2 day CyberStar® Summit, a gathering of 138 top real estate professionals.  Our purpose was to share the “latest and greatest” in technology for real estate from the standpoint of using it in our businesses to increase our ROI.

I will be reporting on many of our discoveries in future blog posts.  We had 25 Top Tech Tools shared by our opening panel, comprised of CyberStars® Rob Levy (www.RobLevy.com), Peanut Janson (www.akaPeanut.com) and Nate Martinez (www.NatesHomes.com).  These three gave us a fast-paced review of their favorite money making tools in five categories:

• iPhone Tools
• Hardware
• Software
• CRM (Customer Relationship Managers)
• Cameras & Video

Here are just six of the 25 top tools they recommended for the iPhone.  Check back here for future articles on other tools they recommended…and how to use them in your business!

1. Jawbone Bluetooth (Headset w/incredible noise reduction)
   
2. ColorSplash (iPhone app for converting photos to black and white while keeping chosen details in color, $1.99)
   
3. Instapaper (Read saved unread article for reading later…free and Pro Accounts available)
   
4. AutoStitch iPhone App (Automatic image stitching for panoramas from your iPhone, $1.99)
   
5. Zillow iPhone App (View r.e. information on homes around you while on the move, free)
   
6. Tour Narrator (Capture buyer feedback in your iPhone using photo, notes & audio, $1.99)

Again, these are just 6 of the tools these top agents shared with us.  They also showed us how to use them in order to make more money!

The whole point of our CyberStar® Summit was ROI: Return on Investment, and I will share more ROI-based tools and strategies with you in coming blog posts.

It’s a great day here on the lake in Reston…hope it’s a great day wherever you are, too!
