Making your business sing like a fine tuned instrument us what I do. If you have a team, it’s even more helpful when there are less places to find out what you need to do, and re-enter information you have already entered elsewhere. If it isn’t already obvious, in my experience, I come down on the side of having as much in one place as possible. When you have to go to several different places to see what needs to be done, mistakes are made more easily. …is the lack of central focus on where to get everything done. Most importantly, the biggest downside to using both an OTMP and a CRM Some examples are Customer appreciation party planning, Tax planning reminders, marketing campaigns, employee on-boarding and such. Think of all the things you do in your business, and how many of them you could put into an organized plan, or process. We have to deal with other sets of tasks that we do repetitively as well. What we do, as real estate agents, requires much more process automation than just transactions and listings. Another downside is that OTMPs have a very specific purpose, and it all revolves around transactions. Note that for the most part, only a couple of the bigger ones are integrated with very many CRMs. When the CRM is integrated, that issue becomes moot, so if you want to do a combination, find yourself a CRM that integrates with your OTMP. That said, what are the advantages of a CRM? A very big one is not having to do redundant data entry into two programs. When you’re using a CRM without that access, you can miss it. What most lack, is that ability to share docs and access. CRMs that have transaction and listing management capabilities in themĪre common and many are quite good. But you can’t force everyone to always use it. As agents and consumers get more and more used to doing things online, it’s getting better. The thing is, getting other agents and party members to use it can be problematic. One of the best features of OTMPs is that they all allow you to share documents and invite people into the transaction. Like anything else, using an OTMP versus a CRM comes down to what features it has and how much time it will save you. The question is, should you do your transaction management in your CRM or do you use an OTMP? OTMP’s have advantages over most real estate CRMs They are much more flexible and powerful. They are about creating a process through activity plans or workflows. OTMPs are for listing and transaction management.ĬRMs do a lot more than just transactions. Others look to the CRMs that have the OTMPs integrated and do a combination of both. Some agents are using OTMPs only to the degree that their broker mandates and nothing more. There are many real estate CRMs that also do transaction management. A good number of agents use Online Transaction Management Platforms (OTMP) such as DotLoop, Skyslope, Transaction Desk and others. During my recent experience building and manning tech support for a SAAS real estate CRM, I was a little surprised to find out how many.
