Many good programs out there, unfortunately single agents always get to pay more.  We do have great tech here, one of the benefits of being with a huge company.

May want to check out something like Brivity, or settle for a lesser crm and just budget in more admin time to input the information that you need.

I wish you all the best with this.  I am sure you will get many great ideas. I do not do ads. I am an organic gal and my leads come from my website. 

You have many great recommendations Dana.

My personal view is to keep a separate CRM.  There are some good real estate focused ones like Hubspot and Bitrix which have a free level that should be good for most of your needs.  I believe that Hubspot also works with Zapier, which you will need to automatically feed your Facebook leads into your CRM and then automate that first point of contact to them.

Came in late. ARe you asking for recommendations or reviews?

our listings come from offline marketing and I use online to market them and brand us.... our online and offline complement each other.... "old school" complemented by current marketing methods....

A website host is is just one piece of having a website, and there are many variations of hosting. Same with CRM's. I'd take your time and shop around.

Dana ~ This is a great question and one that I myself need an answer to.  Parked and looking forward to the feedback that the community provides.

I never combine my CRM with a website. 

Dana,

Wishing you what you need.  I am not sure that should be the way to go.  Keep researching.  A

Parked and reading the answers!

You are asdking in the right place to find a good solution Dana Wilson and even though I'm retired I'm eager to see some answers.

I use Buffini & Company 's Referral Maker CRM  

Blog about your selection.

Combined no. 

Dana, did not find?

My CRM is separate from my web site, and Real Geeks has a great web site.

Sounds to me as if you are seeking approval to us ProAgent.

Sounds good to me.

However, you may be building on traditional strategies in an rapidly evolving business environment.

Don't use 'limited budget' as the reason to deny the facts you see. You are right in realizing FB ads is the ONLY marketing an agent needs to do. All eggs in one basket is never agood idea. Now ask Pro-Agent if they are capable of 'inbound' marketing. If they talk about email, they are TRADITIONAL and may not get you where you must go in a few years.

Always keep you CRM separate from everything else and keep a weekly CSV file of the entire CRM database for your protection.

I use Ixact contact for my CRM, they just introduced Text marketing... They also provide great looking websites at very reasonable rates.

Maybe you should try the ads first and see if they generate so much activity that you need to connect it to a system. Most likely, you will be able to handle the leads yourself.
