Default Real Estate CMS (Web Application)

What options are available to RE agents for web based Contact Management Software? (Besides TopProducer)

Hi,
There is an open source website software called open-realty which can be used for individual agents.

Thank you,
Peter

Thanks for the input. I'm actually looking for "Contact" Management Software. Something similar to ACT!, Goldmine, etc.

Sorry about that. How embarassing, I misread your request.

Thank you,

Something similar to ACT!

Although not an ACT! Certified Consultant, I have a ton of experience with multi-user implementations of the product. You will be well served by purchasing a copy. Hint: try ebay

I'm looking for an "online" (Web based/hosted) contact management program. As I understand ACT! this is not an option. Is that correct?

Yes and no. Depends on your requirements.

The ACT! data on your server can be made accessible via a remote desktop, pcanywhere, or other Internet based protocol.

Or, you can use 1) a Palm OS compatible handheld and download the data or 2) a laptop with ACT! installed over Win XP.

ACT! excels in synchronizing data.

There are PIM's available for a monthly fee, http://www.salesforce.com/ is probably the best known.

This won't work for what I have in mind. I want a user to be able to sit down at "any" computer with Internet access and have access to the data.

I'm currently trying out the Professional Edition of this software. I was hoping there might be others to compare it to. So far slim pickings.

There are a few open source solutions available for the web. These are generally much less feature rich then the paid versions.

Check sourceforge.net or consider having one custom programmed for your specific needs.
