Unleash your inner creative

Real estate agents get to play in a very creative space. With all the mobile and desktop editing apps available today, you can up your marketing ante and stand out from the crowd.

If you’ve got little or no graphic design experience, Canva is one of the simplest tools to use. And with time and patience, you’ll soon get the hang of the easy-to-use drag-and-drop format. Canva offers access to plenty of photos, templates, graphics and fonts.

Improve your photography with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. This app enables you to brighten images, adjust colors and remove distracting elements. You can edit photographs from your smartphone or desktop. These are sync’d via the cloud, so you can tweak images on the go if necessary.

Video is a great tool for agents and one of the best ways to get people’s attention. Adobe Premiere Rush is designed for smartphone or desktop use. You can add audio and motion graphics as well as color correct manually.

If you’ve already honed your skills in the creative arena and you want to up your game, try Adobe Premiere Pro. It is one of the best video editing software programmes for real estate agents. You’ll get a bunch of professional assets from music and animation graphics to a library of stock videos.
