Real Estate Contact Management Database Software & CRM "Broker"

 

Gary David Hall started as a Realtor® in 1987 and has been, reviewing, using, and teaching

 Real Estate CRM ever since.

 

Why waste time searching all over the Web, when they're all right here!?

 

There is no "one" software system that is right for everyone. Therefore, there is not "one" program that anyone can justifiably call the "best". I review all the programs in great detail, and am a reseller/broker for virtually all of them, so I can review your needs and advise you which ones suits them best, without bias.

 

"This Web site is unique, and is a wealth of reviews and information for Realtors®/licensees about Real Estate productivity CRM or contact management database software systems. It remains free through your patronage. Purchasing these programs here, rather than purchasing directly from the provider's sites, enables me to support it, and you." - Gary David Hall

 

 

You lose nothing by purchasing the programs here! All services, support, and benefits are identical to purchasing on the vendor's site. As a matter of fact - in most cases, you are being linked to and buying from the vendor's site.

 

What you gain is:

Get more organized, more efficient, and reduce your stress levels with Trans-Plans!!!

If you have an assistant, this is a must have!

 

     Contact Management/CRM Implementation Coaching/Training   

 

"I'm the guy to call when you are ready to grow your business, while having more of a life, with less stress, with less mistakes, with better service, with less staff, with more compliments, with more referrals!"

When I say it shows, what I mean is that NO ONE could have a product this complete, without the advantage of years of time to do it.

Respond - Years ago, a man by the name of Pat Zaby, came up with a Real Estate specific CRM solution called Prep Prospecting. It was a very good program, and I had every hope and expectation that it was going to go on to become the best of it's kind. Unfortunately, once he sold it, the people who bought it ran it into the ground. Well  Pat is back, with a product called Respond. Prep was a suite. Respond is as well. Respond is like PREP Prospecting, while PREP Presentation's flyers, presentations, brochures, Buyer & Seller Packages and postcards are done in Word, PREP Financial is now in Excel spreadsheets and PREP Presents are now PowerPoints.

Real Estate Contact Management Software/Real Estate CRM Software, is my forte.  That's the type of software I personally have used the most, and the longest, as an active Real Estate agent since 1987, and as a Real Estate Contact Management Software consultant, and trainer to thousands of agents all over the world since 1998.


"I just wanted to share with everyone that I spoke with Gary last week about changing my contact management software after he answered a post of mine here (on Real Talk). Gary was easy to talk with, gave me plenty of time to explain my entire situation and set-up, and directed me to several different options giving me pros and cons to each. Ultimately, we arrived at a solution together, which I think is the best for me. Thank you, Gary for your excellent, unbiased help and for taking the time to understand my situation before making recommendations. I highly recommend Gary to everyone here. He is an excellent resource as most who have been members of this listserv know. I sincerely appreciate your consultant approach to my challenge. Thanks, again, Gary!!!"

A Real Talk post:

JudyB wrote in response to my post about Gary David Hall, and selecting a contact management program…

"…And Gary's one of the "good guys". He's not just a reseller."

To further demonstrate that Gary is "one of the good guys" - after I originally posted Gary's information, he sent an email thanking me. In my response, I mentioned how I was looking forward to the Agent Office training class CD I had ordered and from him, to actually learn all the bells and whistles for the Agent Office program I purchased from him (yes it was last year! About that, the best program is the one you actually will use…). He immediately replied that I should have already received it, and he would find out what happened. Shortly after, I received another email from him, that oops, there was a glitch, and my order was being sent overnight.

My point first of all, was that Gary took the time to send me a "thank you for your kind words" email. And secondly, even though it hadn't occurred to me that I should have already received my package, and I didn't ask him to trace the package, Gary knew that I should have already received the CD. He discovered and fixed the problem; all before I was even aware that there was a problem. Great customer service!  Gary - I wish you could give lessons to (fill in the blank with just about any large chain business). Kudos to you and your great business! Thanks for being one of the good guys out there!
