On the hunt for a new home? Lacking time and perhaps motivation? Seeking a gadget to speed up the process? We’re here to help by presenting you with the smartest gadgets to help you find your dream property.

Garmin HUD Satellite Navigation – Guiding you to your new home

gadgetsWhen attending viewings, you need to be able to find your prospective property quickly and easily. With your busy schedule and limited time windows to go and view property, it’s important to have an accurate device to lead the way. Many GPS devices aimed at car users are criticised for being dangerous for the driver. They are accused of distracting the driver who needs to look at the GPS device every couple of minutes in order to follow directions. This all changes with Garmin HUD. The Head-Up display on this device receives navigation information directly from your smartphone and projects it onto a transparent film on your windshield. With automatic brightness level adjustments, its projections are clearly visible in direct sunlight or at night. No more distraction, and no more getting lost.

Apple Watch – Keeping you connected with your agent

The Apple Watch opens up a whole new world of device connectivity. We are all familiar with the anxiety that comes from waiting for messages from your real estate agent and other professionals helping you to close on a home. Whether you’re waiting to hear about a viewing, waiting to hear if your offer was accepted, or waiting to hear the results of a survey, you need to be fully connected at all times. The Apple Watch can help you with this. Rather than needing to get your iPhone out every time you are checking on that important message, you can simply look at your arm. You can’t miss a notification, and your response time can be made much faster.
