What kind of CRMs do you guys use?
Not a big fan of salesforce. Other than that the only requirement is that i can access it on my phone. Suggestions?

You may have better luck trying your question on /r/crm with a description of the type of work you do &amp; technical requirements. You could also post to /r/sales/ since that's more active.\n\nOr maybe (hopefully) I'll be wrong and you'll get some good answers here!", "replies": [{"id": "cs1x92w", "text": "Thank you, I'll check it out!", "replies": [], "depth": 2}], "depth": 1}, {"id": "cs1yl8e", "text": "I have used REA 9 and am currently using ACT CRE. \n\nREA 9 is good because it is design for commercial real estate. I have not used it in over a year so things may have changed, but the biggest drawback was their non existent web and mobile apps. You could only access your database on the local computer it is installed on. They don't do a lot of updates so the UI looks like it was made in the 90's. \n\nI only recently started using ACT CRE. You have to purchase the ACT CRM and then purchase an additional add on that allows you to input properties as \"groups\". You can send out personalized email blasts which is useful and I really like their dashboard that you can glance at to see how your progress. They have a lot of different reports you can print out which is great for keeping track of progress. They have an opportunities section that allows you to quickly see the active clients you are working with. It allows you to create call lists quickly from your contacts. You can schedule email blasts and notifications of when you need to call a client i.e. if you want to make contact with a client every three months you can set ACT to notify you when three months is up. The only drawback I have on ACT is how many times you have to re enter the info for one client. For instance if you find a new lead you have to enter the information of the person, then on the companies tab you have to enter the company info, and then you have to enter the property info and link all of those entries together. It can get a bit tedious, but when it is set up it's nice to have all the info in one place. When you have a contact you can enter all of the history and notes for that person and then you have the option to link or upload all of the documents associated with that person in one place. You can also sync it with outlook so all of your emails are recorded for that client. They have web access so you do not have to be at the computer it is installed on, but you only get this with the premium account. \n\nI have heard that clientlook is pretty good as well. The only drawback to that is it is only web based and can get slow at times.

After much research, especially for brokerage firms, I've found the one platform that is most secure and cross-platform capable(Windows, Mac, android, iOS, BlackBerry 10, windows phone) is Salesforce. Moreover, their tech support response and knowledge very good. If you go to their website and access the AppExchange, you'll find Real Estate Industry specific Salesforce integrated apps by 3rd party developers that work directly and within Salesforce such as PRopertybase, REthink, Apto, AscendixRE and others. The developers are also willing to further customize, and quickly I might add, these systems to further implement your needs. Let me know if I can help further and good luck....
