40 Best Real Estate Software & Tools for Top Agents in 2019

1. Zillow Premier Agent (Lead Generation Software)

Screenshot of Zillow Premier Agent Feature

Zillow Premier Agent is incredibly robust real estate agent software that harnesses the power of Zillow’s more than 160 million monthly visitors. As part of Zillow’s unpaid services, you can submit new listings on the platform and “claim” listings that were uploaded to Zillow from your MLS. This places your contact information in the upper-right corner of the listings page along with as many as three other buyer’s agents who will also appear on the list.

However, as a Zillow Premier Agent, your name will appear exclusively on your listings. When a buyer encounters your listing from Zillow or Trulia, you have a much greater chance of receiving their inquiry and earning the full commission. For an additional cost, Zillow Premier Agents can also advertise on the listings of other agents, choose which ZIP codes you want to advertise in, and set your own budget.

Visit our Zillow Premier Agent reviews page for information on what users think about the platform.

2. RealScout (Lead Nurturing Real Estate Tool)

RealScout is a lead nurturing tool that scours your MLS for new listings that match the criteria your leads select and automatically sends them the listings in an email. The platform sorts properties by 400 criteria, including waterfront location, high ceilings, and number of bedrooms. Best of all, emails look like they came directly from you. If you have a busy schedule and a lot of leads to nurture, RealScout can help you grow business by increasing the number and velocity of offers.

RealScout’s product for individual agents and teams costs $39 per agent, per month and includes a branded home search portal with accurate MLS data, unlimited clients, team functionality with lead sharing, and other lead generation tools. The broker package costs $499 per month and features a broker dashboard, agent management and user analytics, and lead distribution tools.

“My favorite new piece of tech is RealScout. It fills that gap between the clunky interface of the early 2000s-looking MLS and what today’s consumer expects. RealScout allows you to have a conversation about properties with clients and answer questions—and it even alerts you when clients click a button to put an offer in. It’s also got really robust search capabilities—you don’t have to just rely on ZIP codes and the specifics of the property—and it can sync your leads from online search portals like Zillow and create a profile for them.”

– Mike McElroy, Managing Broker, Center Coast Realty
