REsimpli has developed a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) tailored to real estate investors with built in seller-intake scripts to help you manage your marketing leads and have an automated system for follow-up. Our reliable CRM should help increase the amount of deals you get from your marketing and mailings. It supports more efficient and consistent follow-up. It'll remind you to follow-up to on the different deals in your pipeline, and help you ask the right questions to the sellers.

Located here at:

https://dashboard.resimpli.com/

There will always be a free version of our software. However, more advanced capabilities are being added in future releases as well and we'll eventually charge a small subscription for the superuser version.

Current features include:

- Intake script that contains questions to ask sellers of properties in order to capture accurate information for follow-up

- Ability to schedule and track appointments to enable efficient follow-up for responses and reminders to follow-up

- Full Google API functionality for fast and easy sign-up

- Full Zillow API functionality - just pop in an address and it'll auto-populate the data for the property for you using the Zillow database

- Google street view functionality so you can virtually walk around the potential home and it places a pin where your house is so you can tell where it is in relation to other properties on the street as you virtually walk it.

Act now and systematize to improve your bottom line. If you want a higher conversion rate for your direct mail and other real estate marketing campaigns, then come check out the REsimpli CRM to close more deals. It'll help you schedule and conduct improved follow-up with your sellers, which will increase your profits as you land more deals. Reliable communication is imperative in our business and having a system is essential and will save you time, headache and increase your closing rate. It'll also help you ask all the right questions to sellers so you won't drop the ball and miss out on crucial information about your property you're buying.

    @William Carr

    I have detailed notes on a lot of different software for real estate but there's a huge difference between bookkeeping software, software to track rentals, and software used for doing mailings and contracts. What specifically are you trying to accomplish?

    Direct mail can be used very effectively to get you more deals for your real estate investing. If you need some help getting started, I can provide some coaching and send you a direct mail game plan, checklist of things to prepare to increase your chances of success, scripts on how to talk to different types of sellers, software to use for your real estate investing including customer relationship management (CRM) software, templates for your direct mail, contracts, calculators, etc.

    Make sure to message me with your status on where you are in the process in your direct mail.

    I've been helping many new wholesalers, flippers, and investors with increasing their deal flow. Just shoot me a message or email with your background and status on where you're at in your education process and I'm happy to mentor people that are do-ers not talkers, as I have some pretty awesome mentors myself and love to give back. Although this is free, I don't just mentor anyone. I've helped a lot of people so I can tell who the time-waster talkers are and see who are the ones that take action to get results.

    I am curious for those of you that have been in the direct mail game... would you recommend a typical yellow letter being sent or something more professional when targeting duplexes, triplexes or quads? I'm torn because I do see where a casual letter will more likely be opened and read, but I'm also thinking sense this is a different demographic than a homeowner living in a SFR I might need a different marketing strategy to target the landlord that's tired of being one and wants to know I'm someone that can fix their problem (aka more professional to add credibility). I'd really appreciate any feedback!

    For multis, business letters have been working more effectively. For SFH, mixing up postcards with unique letters works well. The message is important, generic messages for multis don't work well.
