My Most Indispensable App

I can think of so many apps that I wanted to write about in this blog, but when it comes down to the nitty gritty, the one app that I really would have a hard time doing without is Top Producer.  This is my contact manager program on my desktop and keeps track of everything in my business.  Within the past year, the folks at Top Producer have designed a mobile interface/access that allows me to access my contacts, schedule and to-do list on my phone.  

If Internet/wi-fi access is down or not available it will work over the cell data connection.  unfortunately, it will not work if there's no connection at all as it needs access to the server.  With Top Producer mobile, I can make and store appointments, enter to do items for the future, check on my listing and closing plans and make modifications if I need to and have access to my complete database of clients and contacts.

I must confess that I (like many others) have a love hate relationship with Top Producer.  It is an immensely powerful program that can handle almost every aspect of one's real estate business.  There are some awesome things it is capable of performing, but it is often difficult or clunky in the way it does these things.

Yet, for all its issues, Top Producer still does the job for me and with this mobile connection, it allows me almost complete access while away from my computer.  Take a look at how it works below.

Hi Gabe, I still have Top Producer, but have been using the CRM from Market Leader instead these days. I used to use Top Producer a lot in the past, and still love some of the features they have. I guess that's way I kept  paying for the service. I haven't check into their Mobile App yet. Thanks for sharing today.

I also use the Market Leader product but have heard great things about Top Producer.  Nice that it works so well for you Gabe.

Gabe,

I think I was just about the last person to buy Top Producer 6i. I was so ticked when they went to an internet model about a month later that I've never used them again.

I've heard some great reviews of Market Leader, though I'm not thrilled that it's now owned by Trulia.

Rich, I understand.  I would have done the same.

Gabe, I love Top Producer but confess I haven't used the mobile app much. You have inspired me :) Thanks!

Hmm, my mobile app doesn't look like that - and it's not updating or synching. Will have to call Tech Support in the morning. Just curious, do you also use Market Snapshot?

Good morning Sharon.  I'm not using Market Snapshot at present.  I used it many years ago, but it wasn't working correctly for our MLS system so I discontinued it.

Thanks, Gabe. It worked with our MLS, but it wasn't returning a dime on the investment, so I dropped it a couple of months ago. Just wondered if anyone else was having success with it.

Yes, it is a bit pricey.

That's why I dropped it. Couldn't justify the expense with no measurable return on investment.
