An owner told you two years ago to call when his tenant’s lease comes up. That date is now in your head, or in a spreadsheet tab nobody has opened since spring. This list covers five tools for that brokerage problem plus Fluid CRM<\/a>, compared by what each one stores and what it costs a small shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best CRM for commercial real estate depends on where you keep property data. ClientLook, AscendixRE, Buildout and RealNex hold property records and comps inside the CRM. Fluid CRM ($16 per seat per month) fits a small brokerage that keeps them elsewhere and tracks owners, tenants and referrals on a pipeline.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>1. Fluid CRM<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Fluid CRM<\/a> is the sales pipeline we built for small B2B teams, and it has no property records. It has unlimited pipelines, a reminder on each deal, a morning email of what’s due and custom fields for text, numbers and dates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An owner’s deal holds one contact, so the asset manager and the attorney go in the notes, and comps stay in your other system. Ritz Steytler at Abacus Partners put the scope fairly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It really is all you need (mostly!) and nothing you don’t (almost!).”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our consulting CRM<\/a> page shows the same board, reminders and daily digest for people who sell by conversation, which is most of a broker’s week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
