How Real Estate Agents Can Use Video and Screen Share Tools for Business

We tested a variety of software the last few days and ultimately decided on Livestorm, Loom, and Slack as the video and screen share apps recommended for our team. There are plenty of competitors to choose from, what’s most important is meeting the goals for each discipline.

Here are the three requirements we think real estate agents can master within a couple of days to communicate better with clients, provide valuable instruction, and collaborate with their brokerage colleagues and leadership using modern video and screen share technology.

  1. Video calls and screen share

  2. Video tutorials and screen share

  3. Video meetings and screen share
