through the company's
new mobile app. Borrowers

in their mortgage balance
and payments through the
life of the loan. They can
also stay up to date on the
latest interest rates and home
values in their neighborhood
through the company's
market updates, and use the
built in calculators. The app
features a resource repository
and makes contacting their
specific mortgage loan
officer, real estate agent,

Collaborative Search is
the new tool from the
Realtor.com app that allows
users to invite their clients to
use the app collaboratively
with them. Users can issue
this invitation to their
clients even if they have
already installed the app
on their phone or tablet.
When all parties activate the
feature, their pictures will
appear alerting everyone
as to who has joined the
conversation. Users and their
clients can draw their own
neighborhood boundaries
rather than being limited
by MLS search areas. Users
can connect with agents
via the "ask my agent"
feature, which opens up a
real-time chat that lets an
agent's clients reach him or
her immediately via a text
message. The app is free.

Panorama
Bill Tracker
This app is useful for anyone
looking to take panoramic
photos of properties or
the surrounding area.
According to the Wall Street
Journal, this app is "the
easiest-to-use panoramic
picture app on the iPhone."
Users can take a 360-degree
picture in fewer than 20
seconds. The app adjusts the
pictures and the lighting
so that the picture comes
out to the quality the
user desires. Friends and
followers can be tagged
in the photos as well. For
$1.99, users can also share
the photo with colleagues
with one click of a button
and can access galleries of
other panoramic pictures
near the user.
Industry professionals on
the move won't have to
worry about missing a bill
payment again with Bill
Tracker. The app alerts
users of upcoming and
unpaid bills. Users can
maintain a log of all paid
and unpaid bills and view
the log by date or month.
One of the functions helps
keep track of all bills like:
credit card, house rent
or mortgage payments,
telephone bills, electricity
bill, insurance premium
payment, personal loan or
education loan payments,
and other bills that need to
get paid on a regular basis.
Agents can recommend this
to their clients, especially
the ones buying homes for
the first time.
