Propertybase Salesforce Edition Reviews

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...

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,...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

I like the back office transaction management.

The main problem with the company is that they literally steal money. Their contract renews for a year, so if you don't give notice well before yours ends, then you're automatically renewed for another year. However, they don't care what price the contract says, they will change the price and debit that new amount from your account. They will tell you they sent you an email with notice of a price change...

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.

The Propertybase/Salesforce part of the system is amazing. It is a very robust CRM and backend system.

Unfortunately, the integration of properties and being able to communicate with clients about properties is terrible. Although they have a great sales presentation about how the client communication in regard to property is easy and seamless, it is not. The simplest of tasks of tasks that we need as busy real estate agents, such as sending saved searches on properties on a daily basis to clients and receiving a copy of that email, simply does not work. They are constantly rolling out new tools, while the others do not work and have never worked.

It is amazing in what it can do, and is the best software out there by far.

The software is so basic with it's onboarding features without our updates I would have found it to be useless and no better than any other software. It is the fact that you can customize it that makes it so powerful. However, you need to find someone to do this and that is not easy to do Est at least $10,000 a month in programing for the first year or 2 I am on year two and still getting it set up

No pros were added to this review

I have approximately 7,000 leads and your company has market 2,000 of them as invalid email addresses in addition you have stopped another 2,000 daily search email from going out. We keep asking you to fix this and nothing has been done. I sell homes in a resort community and there is no search for golf course, pool, or water virew homes but I can search for basement homes. FYI we are not in Boston we are in Florida there are no basement homes.

They have been quite helpful with acclimating to the new system, and finding every app and feature that was useful for us before the migration from the Classic version.

Certain search features don't always provide the options users are looking to use. Some less tech-savvy users don't find this system fully intuitive.

Workflow Management Tailored to Your Business Integration with other Real Estate Solutions Customization

Agent Adoption Most agents want something built for them, an easy button, this system is not that. It takes effort to get it right.

The Sales team and the Customer Support team help edit, build and manipulate the out of the box features to fit the way YOU do business! The Sales team works to understand how you currently do business and starts the discussion of how much Propertybase can do and take over for YOU. The Customer Support team takes it from there; any flows, reports, calculations, forms, automatic email, etc they will help you refine and build in Propertybase. Propertybase has a HUGE amount of storage for everything from contact data to photos and documents. Having the ability to have everything in one place is the first step in getting streamlined, organized and efficient!

The mobile version is not as functional. Our brokers have asked for edits and changes that only appear in the non-mobile version.

Rep showed me how to use it properly instead of just sending a link to instructions that I don't understand.

That I can't change the default values in the reports

Customer Support Team Organization for our company Program has helped us use our employees more efficiently

We basically had to completely customize the program for our company which has been time consuming but ultimately we will have a better program because of it.

All information is in one place. All documents, pictures , you name it! Being able to customize about anything you can dream of!

The HTML knowledge that is needed to customize one feature that we all use, every day. EXPOSEs!"" There should be an easier way to customize this. But i believe they did it the way they have because for a reason. A reason only they would know. But I´m fine with this...... makes me learn new stuff which is cool! :)

For real estate brokerages (and any one in the industry) Propertybase has you covered so you don't have to start building your CRM from the ground up. Our account executive, outlined all of our needs from the beginning. We then did a Quickstart program with team - they went above and beyond to create a system that worked for our niche. We appreciate the time they invested to train me as an admin and prepare our team to use the system. We look forward to working with Propertybase for years to come!

Since it is a highly dynamic software, there is a steeper learning curve. However, once you are trained and comfortable, the possibilities are endless!
