CRT has been hard at work on a new project for the last 6 months called REpurposed Apps. We’ve been building a place for members to come together and share with each other the apps they use on a daily basis. It’s a great hub for connecting with people and finding apps that weren’t built specifically with real estate in mind, but are being used in ways to streamline workflows.

We are now at a point where we are looking for beta testers to help us shape it and carry it the rest of the way.

For this project, we are looking for people who are heavy app users and are using regular non-real estate intentioned apps in their daily workflow. We are looking for creative uses of these apps as well.

Taking a page from the Google Glass application process, here is what we need you to do:

  1. On Twitter, post a tweet with why you would be a good beta tester and your favorite app and add the hashtag #REpurposedApps to the tweet.
  2. Follow @crtweet so we can direct message you if you’re selected.
  3. You do NOT have to fly to New York, San Francisco, or Los Angeles or pay us $1,500 to participate. ;)

NOTE: Applicants must be a member of the National Association of REALTORS®.

We’re asking that you help us get the word out. Please share this link or retweet the original tweet.

The first round for the application process will end on Sunday, 3/10 @ 6pm EST. We are excited to get this beta test going and get other people outside of the project involved.

If you’re not selected, no worries. This is only the first round of beta testers and we may issue more calls in the future. Our goal is to go live with REpurposed Apps around MidYear. Thanks for listening, and we look forward to reading your applications.

    Hopefully I can be helpful to your panel, thank you for your consideration.

    Love the idea!!! I’m an Android user (Note 2 and Note 10.1) and am constantly on the lookout for great tools for in and out of Real Estate, as well as ways to customize my devices to work best for me. Having been in R/E for over 30 years, I know the value of good systems. Personally, I love Evernote, Dropbox, Karl’s Mortgage, PrinterShare, EzPDF, RoboForm, Compass, Android Pro Widgets, Tasks+, Skitch, Nova Launcher, and so many more…and also love spreading the word about them! I also know how important it is not to waste time and money on tools that don’t work!

    When I find a really great app, I feel like I’ve discovered a little pot of gold, and I can’t help but want to share it with everyone! I’d love to help find more great tools and uses, AND help spread the word!

    I would love to be a Beta tester. I feel like I’ve used every app out there. Project Management apps, scheduling apps, all the main Realtor apps. Each of them are missing a little something that I wish it had. I am a member of the NAR and hope I can help in some way.
