Where to start with finding a good Real Estate Contact Management Software? And... what didn't I ask? First stop Google. Type in: Real Estate Contact Management Software. Gobs of products and information gets displayed back. That's good and that's bad. I can then spend hours reading and learning all the intricacies of each software, but do I really want to? NO!
Before I give up let me ask fellow bloggers on ActiveRain... what is it that I want to ask that I don't know to ask until after I've used the software?
In just the first page of Google results here are some of the various programs that popped up:
- ACT! for Real Estate
- Active Agent for Outlook
- AddressTwo
- Advantage Xi
- Agent360
- AgentBusinessBuilder
- AgentOffice
- Agent's 1st Choice
- Agent Organizer
- AllClients

- BrokersHelper
- BusyAgentPro
- CRMRealEstate
- EurekaWare
- Howard & Friends
- LeadCommander
- Masterdigm
- MoreSolds
- Net Aspects
- PlanPlusOnline
- Prospects
- RealAgentAccelerator
- RealEstateClientManagement
- RealeSeller™
- RealFutureCRM
- RealtyWare
- RealTime2020
- Realty Juggler
- Respond
- REST
- SalesForce
- SharperAgent
- SimpleRemote
- Symplifi
- TopProducer
- Vision
- WiseAgent
- 360Agent
I don't want to know what's the best software because that is a relative question. A program that's the best for one agent would be overkill for another and vice versa.
Many of you out there use one of these software programs. For you I have a question... after you bought it and started using it was there something you wished you would have asked and didn't?
Like:
- Will it sync with my phone?
- Is it compatible with Outlook?
- Can I easily import or export data from another database?
- Does it have an online version or site to store my contacts?
- What recurring fees are there?
- Does it integrate with my social networking sites?

*Real Estate Contact Management Software - what didn't I ask?*
I will say since Agent 2000 went to web base it is a disaster. You can't get anyone on the phone and when they return your call they tell you to call tech support and when call then thy put you through to customer service because you ar eout of contract and th ecycle starts again.
I am so thorugh with Agent 2000
