Does anybody use Contactually as their CRM software?
My boutique firm (Chicago &amp; SubMarkets) is shopping around for a CRM for our commercial brokers mainly, but if we find the right one we will incorporate it through the residential and property management sectors. As a young commercial agent (just started year 4), I have been given the lead on this and identified Contactually to be a solid option.  We are going to start the 14 day free trial first thing next week, so I was wondering if anyone on here has any experience or thoughts on this platform? I’ve done my research and everything seems to point to this being a pretty good all-around, real estate specific CRM, but any additional input from you guys would be greatly appreciated!

I always say if you find something that fits squarely into your needs, then stick with it. \n\nClientLook looks towards enterprise type features, which may work super well for your needs. Don't fix what's not broken if it's working well.\n\nRelotis is squarely focused on simplicity and the 80/20 rule...80% of what you need is in 20% of the features. So it's very minimal, lightweight, and simple. Leads, Opportunities, Tasks, Sales dashboard, Sales performance snapshot, top performers and bottom performers. Basically the system takes the bare basics and shows you where the bottlenecks are. No social media integration, VOIP, email marketing etc or fancy features that are \"nice to haves\" but have no bearing on conversions. Hence Relotis being lightweight and not for more complex organizations.", "replies": [], "depth": 3}, {"id": "hha3f7g", "text": "&gt;ClientLook\n\nWhat made you choose this over Apto?

It's real estate specific, but not CRE. Similarly to Apto and Pipedrive, it is ok for small firms, but if you are planning to grow, it's better to choose a more scalable solution at once. Among them are AscendixRE and Sharplaunch. \n\nThe first one is a Salesforce and MS Dynamics-based solution that allows to leverage benefits of huge product infrastructure of these two CRM moguls.
