LightBox Vision for Mobile

LightBox Vision is a cloud-based mapping application that helps over 20,000 commercial real estate brokers, home builders, and developers find off market opportunities, beat the competition, and win more deals.

With the LightBox Vision mobile app (referred to as LandVision on the app store), you're able to significantly enhance your efficiency while working out in the field and on the go.

Regardless of where you are, our mobile app enables you to:

• Capture text, photo and voice memo notes based on the location of the properties you visit.

• Add contact information manually anywhere or from your phone's address book, including name, phone number and photo, and associate them with specific properties.

• Get directions to a property of interest using mapping apps.

• Since LightBox Vision Mobile is cloud-based, all of the information that is captured during your property visits is automatically synced back to your desktop in real-time or as soon as you regain connectivity.

  • There may be a 5 minute synch delay depending on cellular coverage or wifi connectivity
