This tool is a Must-Add to your real estate tool arsenol.

As many of my readers know I am a licensed Realtor in the state of Washington, along with my partner Joe Kiser we work as a team called The Madrona Group.

I recently found a tool that I will definitely be using on a regular basis, and if you take on many listings I think you will also want to be using.

It is called BoxBrownie.com
