New or upgraded real estate apps opening more doors

From the Baton Rouge Business Report, Real Estate Weekly:

 

For a while, it seemed as if the real estate industry was rolling out an app a day, each and every one promising to "revolutionize the way homes are bought and sold," as their news releases routinely and breathlessly promised. As The Los Angeles Times reports, the hyperbole has abated a bit, and the pace of introductions seems to have slowed proportionately, but there's still plenty of app activity because consumers have come to expect information on demand about homes on the market.

So the apps are still coming.
