LesskeysReal estate agents: best apps, by the job they do
An agent's day runs on a few kinds of apps: a CRM, showing and listing tools, e-signature, a design app and the phone. This is the short list by job, and where Lesskeys fits: dictating listing text and copying MLS details into one email.

An honest check
Notes app and clipboard may be enough
One detail at a time, short messages? You may not need it.
Pick your notes app and the plain clipboard if
- Built in, nothing to install.
- Right when you copy one thing at a time.
Pick Lesskeys if
- Keeps a list, so you copy several details, then paste each.
- Dictation for longer text.

Questions
Questions about apps for real estate agents
Can Lesskeys write a listing description for me?
No. Lesskeys writes down what you say, so you speak the description and then edit it. It does not generate text.
Does Lesskeys connect to the MLS?
No. You copy what you need from the MLS page, or any page, and paste it where it belongs. The clipboard history keeps what you copied.
Does Lesskeys work on a phone?
No. It runs on a Mac or a Windows PC.
Can I record a client call with Lesskeys?
Yes, for video calls and meetings on your computer. Open Lesskeys before the call; when it starts in a call app or website Lesskeys recognizes, a small “Call detected” prompt appears, and you click Record. It records the sound your computer plays and your microphone. A call on your cell phone is not recorded. Tell the people you record; some places require everyone's consent.
