Best Apps for Real Estate Agents in 2026: 17 Business Apps

The best apps for real estate agents cover the daily business: a CRM on your phone, a showing and lockbox app, e-signature, MLS and property data, mileage tracking, a business phone line and a safety check. For most agents that means Follow Up Boss or Wise Agent, ShowingTime or your lockbox app, Docusign, RPR, MileIQ and Google Voice.

We checked every app below on its own website on October 9, 2026, and list prices only where the vendor showed them that day. This list is about running your business. For design, video, social media and open house apps, see our separate guide to real estate marketing apps.

Which apps do real estate agents actually use?

Real estate agents mostly use the apps that sit inside the transaction: the MLS, e-signature and showing tools. NAR’s 2026 technology research found 96% of agents use the MLS, 79% use e-signature, 68% use showing schedule tools and 59% use CMA or pricing tools. Only 46% use a CRM and 36% use transaction management software.

The same research found about half of agents spend $50 to $500 a month on technology, and 81% prioritize tools that save time. That is the test for every app below: does it save you time this week? The same test applies to the AI tools agents use for writing, admin and follow-up.

The table groups the 17 apps in this guide by job.

What is the best CRM app for real estate agents on the go?

The best CRM app for agents on the go is the one that lets you call, text and log notes between showings without opening a laptop, so you can hit your speed to lead target from the car. Follow Up Boss and Wise Agent both do that well.

Follow Up Boss includes its mobile app on every plan, with texting and email; calling is an add-on on the Grow plan. Grow was $69 per user a month, or $58 billed annually. Wise Agent is the lower-cost option at $49 a month, or $42 billed annually, with drip campaigns, a team calendar and transaction management.

Which apps help with showings and lockboxes?

The apps that help most with showings are ShowingTime and your lockbox app, because together they handle booking, access and feedback.

ShowingTime

ShowingTime describes itself as the most widely used showing management technology in residential real estate. It offers real-time scheduling, built-in feedback tools and digital offer management. Its site carries Zillow branding. Ask your MLS whether it already provides showing software before you pay for anything.

Supra eKEY and BrokerBay

Supra says roughly 1 million agents use the Supra eKEY app to open its lockboxes, and the app works without cell service if you updated it that day. Supra’s showing management is powered by BrokerBay, a cloud platform for brokerages and boards.

SentriKey

SentriLock’s SentriKey app lets you manage your daily showing schedule, open SentriLock lockboxes and use built-in agent safety tools. SentriLock sells and leases its lockboxes only through participating Realtor associations and MLS boards, so your association decides which system you use.

What are the best e-signature and transaction apps?

The best e-signature and transaction apps are Docusign for individual agents and dotloop or SkySlope when your brokerage chooses a platform.

Docusign for Real Estate

Docusign offers eSignature for Real Estate with state and local association forms, a mobile app for sending and signing on the go, and Rooms for Real Estate for brokerages. On October 9, 2026, its Real Estate Starter plan was $10 a month, the Real Estate plan $25 a month and a plan for Realtors $20 a month.

Dotloop

Dotloop is transaction management software for agents and brokerages, now shown with Zillow branding on its site. Its page did not show pricing to us, so ask your brokerage first, since many provide it.

SkySlope

SkySlope is a brokerage platform covering transaction management, pre-loaded MLS and association forms and DigiSign e-signatures. It says it serves more than 900,000 professionals in the U.S. and Canada. Agents usually get it through their brokerage.

Which apps give agents MLS and property data on their phone?

The apps that give agents property data on the phone are your MLS’s own app, RPR Mobile and Cloud Agent Suite.

Start with your MLS. Most offer a mobile app or mobile site, and it is the data your clients trust. Ask your MLS which apps are included in your dues.

RPR describes itself as the nation’s largest property database, exclusively for Realtors, with the RPR Mobile app for property reports in the field. Cloud Agent Suite, powered by Lone Wolf, includes Cloud CMA for pricing presentations, Cloud MLX for MLS search and Cloud Streams for MLS text alerts. It says the suite may already be included with your MLS membership.

Which apps track mileage and expenses for agents?

The apps that track mileage and expenses best are MileIQ and Everlance, because both log drives automatically in the background.

MileIQ offers a free plan with 40 drives a month. Its Unlimited plan was $13.99 a month, or $11.66 a month billed annually, and both plans produce automatic mileage reports. Everlance logs drives by GPS, lets you mark trips as work or personal, and tracks expenses from a linked card, with receipt photos attached. It offers a free trial.

Ask your accountant how to use these logs at tax time. The app only records the drives; the rules on what you can deduct are a question for a tax professional.

Which apps help agents with calls and scheduling?

The apps that help most with calls and scheduling are Google Voice for a business number and Calendly for booking appointments.

Google Voice gives you one business number that rings on your phone, laptop and desk phone, with US texting and voicemail transcription. The Starter plan was $10 per user a month. Keeping clients on a business number means you can hand off a line or set work hours without changing your personal number.

Calendly lets clients pick a time from your calendar. The free plan includes one event type and a booking page; paid plans started at $10 per seat a month. A “15-minute buyer consult” link in your email signature replaces a lot of back-and-forth texting. The same link works for booking podcast interviews, which is useful if you are using podcast guesting for SEO and lining up several shows a month.

Waze handles the driving between showings with live traffic and road condition updates.

Which apps help keep real estate agents safe?

The apps that help keep agents safe check who you are meeting and let someone know where you are. Your lockbox app is the first stop: SentriKey includes built-in agent safety tools.

FOREWARN verifies a prospect’s identity from as little as a phone number and shows criminal history, bankruptcies, liens and property records before you meet. It is distributed mainly through Realtor associations, and some offer it as a member benefit at no extra charge. FOREWARN states it is not a consumer reporting agency, so use it only for safety checks and never to screen people out of housing. Check your broker’s policy and Fair Housing rules before you use any screening tool.

How do you choose which apps to pay for?

You choose which apps to pay for by checking what your brokerage, association and MLS already provide, then filling only the gaps. Many agents pay twice for tools they already have.

• Ask your MLS which apps come with your dues, such as showing tools, CMA software and alerts.
• Ask your association about RPR, your lockbox app and FOREWARN.
• Ask your broker which e-signature and transaction platform you must use.
• Pick one CRM and put every contact in it.
• Turn on automatic mileage tracking before your next showing day.
• Review subscriptions every quarter and cancel anything you did not open that month.

What changed from the 2023 list of apps for realtors?

The 2023 version of this page mixed marketing tools with business tools. Here is what changed:

• Zillow Premier Agent: a lead source, not a daily business app. It moved to our lead generation companies comparison.
• Buffer, Curb Hero, Animoto and StreetText: marketing tools. Buffer and Curb Hero are covered in our marketing apps guide.
• IXACT Contact and Close: CRMs, now compared in our CRM guide.
• Magicplan: its site now presents it as job software for restoration teams, not a real estate floor plan app.
• AgentSafeWalk: its website did not load when we checked, so it was dropped.
• Connecteam: an employee management app, which suits brokerage staff more than individual agents.
• Right Inbox and Bubble Level: dropped as minor utilities. Waze stays.
