Gary, have you reviewed http://www.realtybrokeroffice.com/ ? Could you please and compare with your other top recommendations. I am looking to eliminate duplication of data entry and duplication of services that I already use.  Thank you. PS: It is online. Personally, I like that. What do you think about online vs desktop programs? I think one is as safe as the other and that both are safer than file cabinet, especially after experiencing Katrina.

Suzi - I have not reviewed it before. I just took a quick look at the site.  The first thing that jumped out at me was the very misleading 'comparsion to other products' section. It might be a great product, but I stopped looking at it after that. Rubbed me the wrong way. There are too many more well known companies.

Paul - I have not personally reviewed Respond. I asked for a copy quite some time ago, but never got it, and haven't had time to follow up on it.  I have had probably about a dozen people repeat essentially the same comments about it though.  They liked the promo pieces in varying degrees, but thought that the function was lacking.

Hi Gary, we have been using Realty Broker Office since the beginning of the year and really like the product.  We got it to handle our transactions and documents, but has since started using the prospects, showing appointments and client notifications features. It has a lot of features and functions.
