Database management, ease to export reports on various metrics about our clients, dashboards to track our sales vs. our goals.

Can be a challenge to get some team members comfortable with it but that's with any cloud based CRM.

We've been working with PropertyBase for about a year or so now, and the platform has absolutely served its purpose for our real estate org and provided tenfold value. The program is rather intuitive to control in the Lightning Experience side of things, and comes out of the box with a lot of great additional features that Salesforce does not (the Matching Tool for matching Inquiries to Listings, for example). The platform is quite customizable, due to it being made on Salesforce's backend platform. Because Salesforce is the leading CRM tool and has been around the block for a bit, you should have no problem finding solutions or best practices to COMMON problems inside of the software itself.

...However, I gotta say, I'm really quite "meh" about the customer support for PropertyBase. It seems like the response time on inquiries generally is around a day or two (which is quite quick!), but a lot of the support team end up giving generic, link-to-a-help-article responses, and rarely take any additional time to really provide a thorough answer or workaround solution. There is no type of customer support live-chat or number you can call for immediate support - I've found this very unfortunate in times where you're caught in a pinch. Further, I dislike that certain objects and fields/layouts are "managed" in PropertyBase. This means that, for those specific fields and functions, you have very, very limited control of what you can edit, not even the title (at the very LEAST, we should be able to change the title!). This is far too many fields to count - the workaround is making your own field with the same values, but it causes a headache for regular, non-admin platform users to know which fields to use for reports/list views.

It appeared at first that it could meet the needs of our company

We had such a terrible experience with both this product and this company. We tried for months to make it fit the needs of our company and were told we needed to work with a developer to implement it. I consistently brought up issues where I didn't think it would be a good fit and was constantly told how I either didn't understand what my own company's needs were and that it would work for our company, but that since we don't have the exact same work flow that every other brokerage has (not sure if this is really true), that it would need to be customized for us. Ultimately I think you could say it was buggy at best, and totally worthless in other areas. Eventually I got to the point (6 months in) where I just realized we needed to cut our losses and move on. Then when we tried to cancel, we were told we were terminating our contract early and that wasn't allowed (not to mention that we had spent thousands on a product we never were even able to use and thousands more for a developer to try and make it work for us) [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] at the company told us that was our fault and that we needed to pay a large cancellation fee (which he said was very generous as we should have had to just pay for the rest of the year since they don't allow people to cancel). It's not just the money that was wasted, but all the time I spent trying to make it work (they have great, convincing sales people, but ultimately it was my fault for not trusting my gut and just saying no earlier in the process)

As an EDO and Commercial/Industrial Real Estate organization, actually finding a CRM database we can operate out of was our main concern. Our PB customer service rep went above and beyond to help us understand the in's and out's of this system! He was on top of his game the entire on-boarding process and walked us through almost every inch of the database to help meet our business needs. He created modules that did not exist in order for us to do the proper analytics and reporting for our organization and manage our customer relationships under one platform. Our account executive was extremely professional and patient throughout the entire process and responded almost immediately to every question we had. He took the time to learn about our business and custom build the system we needed to effectively operate out of. We are excited to be able to finally use a CRM that we can operate and manage on our own and look forward to a long relationship with Propertybase.

PB is customizable and very practical to use! As a first time user for a operable CRM, we are able to store all of our contacts, companies, and prospect information in one place, as well as streamline our sales workflow. We can now easily identify which deals we are working through our pipeline and determine what stage of the sales process they are in. There are applications you can purchase that will integrate with your system to help manage email marketing campaigns or even upload multiple business cards from your mobile app to save time. On top of that, their customer service support team is hands down the fastest, reliable, and most friendly group to do business with.

Managing some of the customization and learning to operate on your own is the toughest challenge. The workflow and sales pipeline can be cumbersome when working through a deal, but after some experience and repetition I'm sure it will make sense. We are still learning to create and operate the reports and analytics feature.

This CRM is easy to use and extremely powerful. Since it is built on the Salesforce platform, you get all the benefits of a robust powerful CRM pre-configured for the Real Estate workflow. The support team is always on-line and extremely helpful. The Mobile app for Propertybase is also very strong.

Highly productive contact/transaction/listing management tools, flexible to each of our many processes, and mobile apps are amazing!

Team oriented application not designed for the single user who doesn't require much horsepower to drive their business.

Support is NONE EXISTENT. I have a ticket to address my email problem (can't send e mails) since Sept 24 and on Oct. 13 nothing is fixed. Also, out of 25+ phone calls to their support team no one has answered the phone or returned my call.

Nothing, when the CRM doesn't allow you to contact clients what good is it.

The website is only average and of course to make it look more professional they want $1,000 more. After trying to build the website they will only help for an extra $ 2,500.

Incredibly flexible and customizable. Talks to our MLS, other major software tools, and has a lot of powerful functionality.

It requires setup and customization, a fair amount of on-going maintenance, and has a learning curve. It's not the quickest or easiest real estate CRM by far. But for doing it all, in one place, correctly, the first time - propertybase can make that happen.

I love the ease of sending drip campaigns and single campaigns. The ability to use hyperlinks is also extremely helpful.

I do wish editing the pages was easier to access and had more ability to make changes. There are edits I want to make to page layouts, and the order they come up in. I can call Boston Logic help line but I would prefer to be able to make these edits myself.

Think this is my web site but not sure

Display, easier and nicer site than our previous website was, doesn't capture many clients for some reason'

Sometimes hard to navigate, don't feel clients know how to use, I don't have lead capture as much as I would like, need assistance to make it better

Has tons of great tools and features. Great follow up capability to interact and monitor customers and clients.

Difficult to learn. Some tools require multiple steps to accomplish (in different areas). On line webinars are not convenient times quite often. Wish they were in video form to look at later.

Terrible. Don't waste your money or your reputation. I'm anxious for Keller Williams to work out the bugs with Command so that I can set fire to Property Base and migrate my data over to another CRM. Hey, PropertyBase, your product is a Client Relationship Management software package. Why don't you set aside your keyboard for a moment and focus on Client Relationships?

After pulling out our hair and paying ridiculous sums of money to have Property Base customize our experience, half of the processes work. Those that work are awesome. Sadly, we didn't find out that a lot of the automated processes weren't working until our clients started calling to complain that they weren't hearing from us.

Customer service is terrible. After spending weeks manipulating data or preparing for a new process to be implemented, we would suddenly be told, "Oh. We can't do that." We decided to move our bulk mailing processes from MailChimp to PropertyBase. Our "open rate" soared. Why? It turns out that only 1/3 of our database was being mailed to. After a few days somebody on their end figured out that it was because they only mail to 10,000 addresses- unless you pay them another ridiculous bundle of money. Despite kind emails and requests for assistance from management, nobody has ever gotten back to us. Instead, it seems that we're stuck with the high school computer enthusiasts that they've employed as their tech team.

It was fantastic for the first 5 years cause we did everything ourselves and salesforce platform is fantastic. But once salesforce upgrade to lightning our property base version started to have more and more issues for which we didn't received any support (wrong request creation / standard email issue / impossibility to upload listing on website). Despite numerous request for support we are not able to operate our business anymore due to the fact that many critical feature are not working. And property-base support team isn't taking ay action. I wouldn't recommend property base to anybody due their total absence of customer support. It is very dangerous for any SME to rely on a service provider for one of the most critical part of their business organisation if this service provider customer support team and developement team is absent and ignoring their client issue.

We choose Propertybase from day one because it seems to be the most ready made software for real estate broker while leaving some room for customisation as our China mainland operation specificities needed us to do some customisation in any CRM solutions we would have chosen.

The global branding approach while in reality it s more taylormade for US based us ers

I've had a terrible experience. The worst part is if you don't cancel 90 days before the end of your contract it automatically renews for a full year. Why not just month to month after that?? Because they know they have a terrible product and have to continue to lock you into a contract. On top of that they won't acknowledge a cancellation request no matter who you send it to!

The sales people make it sound real good and show you features that don't even exist once you set your product up.

It's like a bait and switch. They show you all of these features that would make it a great CRM. But as soon as you start using it,,, nothing works.

With every issue we've brought to support has worked diligently to provide us with information that we need to improve our org.

PB is set up with page layouts, buttons, tabs and additional Real Estate specific functionality that goes beyond what you'd get with Salesforce out of the box. The PB support team is top notch and incredibly knowledgeable. They respond to inquiries or issues promptly with resources for you to learn more. If that information isn't enough they'll go through the process of elimination with you and are willing to step in to help modify the issue you're experiencing.

PB/Salesforce itself is a big system with a ton of functionality that can be overwhelming to get just right for your Org. We customized our version of PB from scratch and only relied on our PB rep, SF Trailhead, the online Salesforce forums, and the internet. I honestly can't say that we have any con's with PB because they were always willing to take the time to help us and provide us with all of the necessary resources to customize our version of the product.
