Best CRE Mapping Software? Looking at CRMs Currently ...
I would like to hear what others in multifamily use to map (and track) properties across a territory ... we have a CRM.  Would like to find something that could help us visualize the geography more efficiently 
[{"id": "hdjmhts", "text": "Hi. A year or more ago I had a need to track several dozens of a particular CRE asset class type (not MF).  If I remember right:  I used Google Maps \u201cYour Layers\u201d and added a new custom layer.  Then imported a KML layer of Opportunity Zones which I\u2019d downloaded from the internet then uploaded to Google Maps as an overlay.  It took quite a bit of time to get it to work but it was a great help.   I don\u2019t remember exactly how I did it and would end up Googling if I had to figure it out again so I can\u2019t give you a step-by-step but this will give you the gist.  I remember preliminarily working on a larger related project utilizing a spreadsheet to manage multiple territories of the same\u2026so I imagine there was probably a way to import into Google Maps.  Not sure it will have the interconnectivity to other data you need out of the box but maybe there\u2019s a way to do that i.e. add a hyperlink to the spreadsheet cell and/or the individual data point on the map, perhaps (think of it like the web address of a retail store in regular consumer-facing Google Maps).  Just giving you some ideas to look into checking into feasibility. \n\nHere is a good resource I just tripped across:   https://www.ccim.com/cire-magazine/articles/mapping-programs-every-budget/\n\nAlso, there were additional titles I saw when I did a search for \u201creal estate mapping\u201d (had to scroll down beyond the initial results) just now that aren\u2019t included in the article above but I don\u2019t have any experience/knowledge about them.\n\nI use Clientlook for my CRM and there\u2019s no feature to do mapping that I\u2019m aware of.\n\nI\u2019d be happy to hear of input of what you or others know about / discover.", "replies": [{"id": "hdwrtkj", "text": "Thanks for the insight!  Yes I have been using this same process with google maps and importing my excel data via google sheets (much easier) and thats worked fine as a first draft but i would like something a little more involved.  One thing I dont like about that process is when i upload a google sheet to the map, if the table data is changed it is not reflected on the map ... so you essentially have to create a new layer (new sheet) and import that one, then delete the old one ... not a huge issue as the system works, but i would like for the data set to remain in place and be editable ... not a one and done type thing ...\n\nBut i think this overall idea is a good way to track assets, especially when in the field", "replies": [], "depth": 2}], "depth": 1}, {"id": "hdjrekx", "text": "You could take a look at LandVision but might be a bit overkill for just tracking and visualizing.", "replies": [{"id": "hdwruke", "text": "will do ... thank you", "replies": [], "depth": 2}], "depth": 1}, {"id": "hdjx9jx", "text": "CommercialEdge.com is pretty price friendly and should cover most of the bases.
