Manage Real Estate Business Remotely

With the onset of recent world events, changes to the work environment have occurred at an accelerated rate. Most industries now need to conduct some or all of their business remotely. Real estate pros must shift their business to a virtual world while continuing to provide first-class customer service. As you move your client meetings online, how do you know you have the right computer, accessories, and collaboration tools to transition to remote work smoothly? What do you need to ensure success when working from home?

Below are some tips on the type of computer and productivity and collaboration tools that will support you most:

Performance.

You need a computer that has power under the hood. The CPU (processor), RAM (amount of memory and storage space), and internal parts determine your PC’s performance. At least 8 GB of RAM and an i5 Intel® Core™ processor are recommended if you’re looking to do anything more than simple file viewing or word processing, including virtual home tours or number-crunching for offers or sale prices.

Design and portability.

Keep an eye out for a device with ergonomic features, such as a full-sized keyboard with a numeric keypad or a blue light reduction mode for long periods of screen time. If you like to stay active and move from room to room while you work, a lightweight, slim laptop or 2-in-1 is perfect. You also want to consider battery life of at least five to six hours to help you stay mobile.
