MailChimp is a email marketing service that allows you to create lists of clients/prospects and stay in touch with them with real estate content/festive greetings etc. However, managing huge lists in MailChimp can be a hassle.

This has happened to all of us and it is important that we remain focused to ensure productivity. With Stay Focused, you can set the amount of time you will allow yourself to spend on certain websites every day and once it reaches the limit set, you will be blocked from the site for the rest of your day.
- Feedly — Feedly aggregates content and allows for customized news feed. It is ideal for real estate pros who are ardent readers of industry news, trends and updates, but simply do not have time to read up on them during the workday. Feedly allows you to save content to read later and present the relevant industry news to you.
