My Review of Investorpro vs Realeflow vs FreedomSoft

[Martin CS]

OK so I currently use use Investorpro as my CRM and website host. Everyone else talks about the other two but this one I rarely here mentioned. It doesn't offer as much as the other two but it is also cheaper and some things are better than the other more expensive two.

Let me start with Investorpro and say I been with them for over a year. It is a a CRM and you get two websites for the gold package ($60) plus start up fee somewhere around $200-$300. I like that both their database and websites are not hard to learn and they actually do most of the work for you. The two are well integrated with email, auto responders, some SEO , etc. I like their database much better than the other two because it is easy to use and allows to get collect the right info. One big plus about Investorpro is their customer service as you always speak to the same guy by phone or email about issues and I never had a problem there. The other two, not sure if they even have a phone # posted anywhere.

The biggest difference between Investorpro and the other two, is that the other two have a lot more features specially when it comes to marketing. Investorpro doesn't offer you leads, direct mail, and many other bell whistles the others have.

So I tried Realeflow about 2 weeks ago after hearing Than Merril pitch it (fan of his company). I was excited because it promised a lot of automation with leads and direct mail marketing. It costs $200 to join and I think $97 / month. After joining , I was quickly disappointed. The dashboard or interface not as nice as I expected and worst then Investorpro. What quickly turned me off is that the seller lead page was very clunky and not easy to gather information from the seller here. This did it for me as I primarily want a CRM first and a marketing software second. I contacted support about a few issues and they were late getting back to me. I canceled and got my money back.

I will keep my review for FreedomSoft short as this is getting long. Basically it had some of the same problems of Realeflow. What good is all theses bells and whistles if the database sucks. This is the most important piece of any CRM and they both get it wrong, Investorpro not so much. I want the marketing in a CRM but I can always market using other web services at cheaper rates. It is also very slow and I just didn't have the patience. FreedomSoft was the most expensive of the three so I just canceled a few moments ago.

I didn't write this for extensive reviews on all three software but more of a disappointment of not being able to find something close to perfect(if there's such a thing) for real estate investing , specially wholesaling. I will keep Investorpro but wish it could do more. The other two have so much hype but don't deliver specially on the basic stuff. I know there's other CRMs not specifically for real estate such as Salesforce but not sure at this point.

In conclusion wanted to express my experience iand frustration in looking for the better CRM. Hopefully this helps someone who hasn't tried any of these.
