Chattanooga Homes Apps
It seems everyone uses a smartphone these days. OK, I do know of a few exceptions. 🙂 I thought I’d list a couple apps that come in very handy for home owners or shoppers.
Disclaimer – 1st, I’m an Android user, however my iphone friends say if Android has the app than iphone has it too. 2nd, I’m not a phone, I’m a REALTOR, so these are just my opinions.
ColorSnap by Sherwin Williams – a new app that lets you photo a color and get matches to it along with coordinating colors, etc. I don’t know if it works good enough to perfectly match a wall so you can buy touch up paint but I do know my arm is Trusty Tan SW 6087!
Tiny Flashlight + LED by Nikolay Ananiev – There are a lot of flashlight apps out there (I think I’ve tried them all) but this 1 seems to be the best.
YP Local Search & Gas Prices by Yellowpages – The paper yellow pages are a hassle. The app is easy!
8,500+ Drink Recipes by Webworks – For the wannabe bartender in us.
CamScanner Phone PDF Creator by Intsig Information Co – Snap a pic of a document and turn it into a pdf for easy e-mailing.
DISH Remote Access by DISH Network – If you have Dish this is great for watching TV or your DVR from anywhere on your smartphone. I think I had to get a slingblade (or something) to plug into my DVR.
iTriage Health by iTriage – For the Doctor wannabe in us.
Laser Level by Black Dot Mobile – This will help you hang pictures straight + more.
Spirit Level Pro Free by Mobikats – This is another level app. This one will help you tell if your table is level + more.
The Weather Channel by TWC – Well this one is self explanatory.
Univerasal Password Manager by Adrian Software – Keep track of passwords, SSN’s, Passports #’s, Credit card #s, etc…
REALTOR.com by Move – Find homes for sale + much more.
Google Drive by Google – Get 5mb of cloud hard drive. Access you files and photos from anywhere (phone or computer).
Of course there are a lot more that I “couldn’t live without” like Pandora, Facebook, Google Maps, Tango, You Tube, Shush, Photoshop Express, and Yelp for examples but I hope this helps someone. If you have any questions just let me know.

Your Home As An Investment
The mortgage industry is working hard to make more services available online. They are gearing up to deliver one-stop shopping for their real estate industry clients by making property assessment, flood, title and closing products available online. I’m excited by how this will allow me to give even better service to you.
Robert J. Bruss in his article “12 ways to earn your first profit when you buy” (1) says, “Treat every real estate purchase, especially houses, as an investment rather than an emotional purchase. …it is very difficult to buy your personal residence without becoming emotionally involved. But the smartest homebuyers treat home purchases as both a place to live and a long-term investment.”
I am pleased to be able to share my experience with my clients. I have developed expertise in finding sound investment properties that can also feel like home. My clients have found it helpful to have someone to guide them in their process of buying and selling homes.
I would like to be your REALTOR for life. To do this, I have to be at the top of my profession. I believe that you will find this to be the case. As always, if I can answer any real estate questions for you, I would be happy to have you call or e-mail.
