| Todd Kuhlmann?s Blyncc App Development licensed its real estate brokerage app to NAI Latter & Blum (34 minute, six second average visit and over 1,000 downloads). Todd (above at the NAI Convention with NAI Latter & Blum?s Karl Landreneau, who starts a three-year run as CCIM prez in October) launched his company with Henry Kirk after the pair met doing tech training for CCIM members. Blynnc also has its own app, TheAnalyst (for the iPhone and iPad), which offers calculators for environmental risk, distance and area, amortization, IRR, lease versus own, loan amount, 1031 exchange, and investment analysis. Soon: competitive lease analysis for comparing up to three leases. | ||
