evernote
I love Evernote. It is where I store my notes and those notes can be searched but thats not all they are stored in the cloud on the interent and on my computer and accessible from my iPad and my phone. I can store handwritten notes, and pictures and even audio notes. If I take a picture of a document with text on it with my phone and put it in Evernote the text becomes searchable.

There is a little graphic of an elephant on the tool bar of each of my web browsers that I can click and when I do it will clip web pages and I can store them in Evernote for future reference. I can gather all of the notes I need for a blog post or a presentation in an Evernote note book and then put it all together when I need it.
If you are one of my clients your file startes out as an Evernote notebook. I jot down the measurements of your home and add various documents to the note book. I can take pictures of receipts with my phone and add them and include a picture of the tree in your backyard that looks as though it is hanging over your neighbors fence.
When I need to look at my notes a document or a photo I can access them from most anywhere. If you are a buyer I have notes in Evernote they may say that you don’t like yellow houses and list the neighborhoods you like.
Evernote is free but I pay $45 dollars a year for a premium account. With a premium account I can upload a gigabyte of data a month and I can do more. I can share a note books with others and more.
I think Evernote would make a great tool for house hunting. Todo lists can be stored in it along with photographs of houses. The web clipper can be used to keep pictures and information of homes that are found on the interent and it can all be accessed through a mobile phone while out looking at houses.
