CRS Week 2023 is on the horizon. The Council and state networks across the country are gearing up once again for a full week of promoting the value of the CRS Designation.

This year registrants can expect the same great opportunities and more. Continue to check CRS.com/crsweek for more details and information.

I use Referral Maker from Buffini. It’s been the best for me for over 10 years. Whichever CRM you use, make sure to master it as your main tool.

I’m using Wise Agent . The plan is very cost friendly. It has excellent customer service and training opportunities along with Spanish and English newsletters and templates. Great for teams and single agents (like myself).

We use Realvolve . It takes some time to learn (like everything) but works well.

My broker supplies me with a proprietary package combining Moxi/Outlook/ActivePipe that works with my transaction coordinator team.

Follow Up Boss! It’s wonderful for teams because each team member has private accounts (unless you add collaborators). Everything is tracked including emails, notes and calls, it connects to BombBomb for video and handles all the marketing. Historically I’ve been a team player (10 years), but recently went solo. I purchased a single user from Followup Boss because I love it.

I use Realty Juggler. It is extremely budget friendly, has two-way sync and the support is incredibly helpful. It’s a simple platform, so if you want a ton of bells and whistles, it might not be the one for you.

Our brokerage offers Moxiworks , and although it isn’t perfect, it’s a powerful system and works very well for me. I train new agents in our office to use it. A CRM syncing with my Google contacts and groups is a must for me.
