How do you track all your RE leads and contacts?

Question

As a real estate professional, its hard to keep track of all the people you talk to.

I'm just wondering what kind of software or other solutions people use to track their leads.

I'd recommend Infusion Software:

Answer 1

Infusion soft is a RIP-OFF.

Top producer is a much better program :)

Answer 2

I think the Cheapest/Free way is to use Google Spreadsheet. You just have to customised the approriate fields you need and you are ready to go.

Example of Useful Fields are
1. Contact Name, Mobile, Email, etc
2. Classification: Seller, Buyer, Tenant, Landlord
3. Date of Contact
4. Purpose of Contact (To Buy, To Rent, To Lease)
5. Follow-up Action
etc etc....

Hope it helps.

Answer 3

I use MS Excel spreadsheets. I like the ability to sort and search for different classes of clients based upon individual information I enter. Another plus is the mail merge available using MS Excel/Word.

I've got it set up so that it handles all my holiday/birthday/anniversary mailings, and does them in my own handwriting font. Works like a charm.

Answer 4

Top Producer -- hands down, no argument. The spreadsheets and stuff work ok in the short term, but to grow a business and be able to keep adding to it and expanding your contact list and marketing effort, it's hard to beat Top Producer.

Answer 5

Most people I talk to use Top Producer or Gold Mine.

I'm using Outlook, but I'm ready to try something else.

Answer 6

I'd recommend SugarCRM, its very powerful, web-based so it can tie into your website, email campaigns, etc etc etc
Try the Open Source (Free) version

Answer 7

ACT!
