Nowadays, many consumers take advantage of Apple products or wish to get them. No wonder that Apple Inc. is selling as many iOS-enabled devices (iPads, iPhones, MacBooks, and iPods) as cars that are sold by car traders worldwide. As a result, Apple is one of the most successful IT businesses in the world. To be precise, only in 2011 the corporations’ sales volume amounted to $128 billion, which is more than the GPD of 160 nations worldwide.
At the same time, the real estate industry is one of the most dominant sectors in every economy that generates billions of dollars annually. Today, real estate providers have to incorporate the Internet into their businesses, making use of the benefits of the information revolution and tech boom in order to stand out among all the other competitors. It’s vitally important for real estate agents and brokers to be able to propose their services in multiple ways.

Providing VIP customer services, every real estate agent should understand what is of real value to a VIP person. When we speak about affluent customers, it’s of high priority to realize that positive image and time saving are the most important things for them. No wonder, the majority of high achievers prefer to use their iPad as image enhancers and time-saving business tools. Thanks to the extensive choice of iPad mobile applications, this device provides on-the-go users with a ceaseless Internet connection, making their activities mobile and ubiquitous, and expanding their possibilities.
