Does anyone use Podio?

Question

I’m looking for a program to help organize potential properties I’m considering investing in. Keep tract of offers I’ve made and need to follow up on. I’m considering Podio along with an app package designed for real estate. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Yes I do. I’d be more than happy to show you how I use it.

Joe Timko · Answer

Yes, I completely agree. I tend to get tied up with working on getting everything working and neglect the personal contact. That's why I'd like to have a system that automates the workflow, follow up, etc. so I can concentrate on the personal contact which I know is the most important part of the business. I see you are "The System Guy" do you have a system built that will do that?

Patrick Jackson · Answer

@Joe Timko automation is good for initial followup, task management and trivial workflow duties that can be time consuming. But a bit of advice if I may, nothing replaces the personal attention that’s needed to gain the confidence of someone to sign your offer letter. Everybody that is looking to sell is for a reason. Automation will allow your to focus on that reason.

@Patrick Jackson thanks Patrick. I’ve been looking at several options. One is deal machine that appears to do a lot of the work for you. Just looking for something that will automate my system to find, contact and follow up on prospective properties.

@Joe Timko I’ve used Podio for 8 years now. It’s scaled up to now include all facets of my investment business. Many marketing funnels going in and task management for my team members. Very robust. Hope this helps.
