PropApp is a free and convenient app that flips the sale of your property on it's head by getting agent's to compete to win your listing! Once downloaded, you'll need to sign up and add your property. From there you can Get Agent Offers and watch the magic begin! Of course you'll have full control of the process, including all the data you need to make the best choice of agent for your property - right in the palm of your hands.
