Please have a look at “RealtyJuggler” and “MoreSolids”. These have been designed for US companies but can very well be utilized in Australia. These companies of stand alone web based products do give three months free trial, where you can have a fell of the program and see for your self which one suits you. Moreover after the free trial they are available on a monthly subscription for a petty price (almost free).

The discussion about discrimination against Australian products is unfortunate and unnecessary. The Australian products are very expensive and closed. There web sites do not explain enough about them either, let alone free trial.

Moreover because the Australian products are integrated with property listing and bulk loading software the principals tend to keep their access to themselves and avoid giving free access to individual agents. The charm of the standalone crm products is that the agents can individually get their subscription and keep hold of their own customer database and avoid getting fleeced by agencies

Look, I am sure your products are wonderful mate, but leave out ‘A Current Affair Story” breaking story of how you just want help people out. It actually will work against you. Remember who you are dealing with

You are better off to tell people (not here) that you have a great product at a great price and are prepared to back it up with great service.

Good luck, but any more of this type of promotion and I will just have to block you mate!

if you actually provided real comments on here you might gain some trust and respect and people may then look into your products.

Im just trying to get a better understanding of what real estate agents need, in order to solve any problems they face.

It seems Im still seeing a great deal of frustration by many agents who …

a) have no understanding of the importance of list building
b) are being charged a lot for websites, or have been let down by bad developers
c) have no understanding of the importance of SEO and how their business can benefit from it
d) feel helpless because theyre all given so much conflicting advice

Im out to help people like this. Im an ex government employee with 10 years web development experience, along with 2 years internet marketing – I do this full time.

Anyway, Im rambling here again, if anyone needs help, be sure to email me OR if Peter allows it, check out my live demo above.

Thanks guys,

John

I will allow you this one blatant self promotion but no more. Please make all comments relevant.

I have a genuine interest in listening in to what real estate agents need, and helping them. Ive just secured my fourth agent in the past week to launch their own site using my software, however Im intrigued about this CRM you guys are talking about.

If anyone is interested in having someone actually develop this you can email me at ramone_johnny AT dodo DOT com DOT au :0)

Thanks,

John

His got some awesome stuff Darryl that you won’t regret looking into. Have a look here http://www.completedata.com.au.

You see, I’m not in real estate, but my wife is. She’s a sole agency and she’s done well over the last 3 years. However, she’s been using a manual enquiry log and now needs to step up to the CRM system. That’s where I come in. I can do all the admin for her, but you certainly wouldn’t catch me out door-knocking.

So, it’s my job to source a CRM system for my wife (….and I’d better get it right!)

I’m keen to know where to go for further research on this. Perhaps I’ve read enough already given the above.

The trouble is, I don’t know what I don’t know.

Maybe the question really is, for a situation like that for my wife who wants to do away with her pencil and paper enquiry log and have a CRM that allows her to be able to systematise all her contacts, but keep in touch with newsletters, letters, cards and so on, which CRM would you recommend?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
