Why buy here?

 

Why do people buy from this site, instead of going directly to the provider?

 

It's all about top quality service, invaluable experience and information from someone that has been doing this since 1987.

  • Gary was the ONLY person on the planet authorized by both Top Producer® to sell both their product, and AgentOffice®, their primary competitor, until 2008 Why? Gary is trusted to be fair & objective by both companies, because he has earned that reputation in Real Estate technology internationally since 1998.

  • A common concern is that by ordering through Gary, you miss out on something you would get if you went straight to the provider. NOT TRUE! You get every bit the same service and benefits, AND (sometimes discounted) pricing, that you would get from them, if you order here. A a matter of fact you get something here, that you can't get with the provider - You have an extra person, one with significant clout, in your corner.

  • Gary will spend time with you on the phone or via e-mail to help you determine WHICH Contact Management tool is best for you. Because Gary is affiliated with all of the major ones, it doesn't matter to him which one you buy.  It's like when you are selling a house to a buyer. Do you care which one they buy? No - you just help them figure out which one is best for them, they buy it, and you both move on. And like you , I'll be here to answer questions even after your purchase!

  • Another big reason is simply because Gary helps people on a regular basis.  Online, on list-servs and forums, in e-mail, on Blogs, on the phone, on his AgentTools page, Gary is always generous with his time, answering all manner of questions about Real Estate Technology, and especially Contact Management. People buy here to enable him to continue doing it. Gary puts a 'face' and the value of a personal contact to your Contact management software/service purchase.

  • Gary has a Real Estate sales background going back to 1987. He can speak your language.

  • Gary's experience with Real Estate Specific Contact Management goes back to Howard & Friends and RES in 1989.

  • Buying here helps support AgentTools


If you REALLY want to know why you should buy here,

Can anyone tell me their experiences with Top Producer and/or ACT?  Or does anyone have any other products that they would recommend instead...?
 

Don responds:

 

I was a long time (15 years) ACT user. The last decent version of ACT was 6.0. Since that release Sage bought Act and basically destroyed a great product. Their first "new" version (Act 2005) was so bad that no one could make it work...Act 2006 wasn't much better...2007 is so convoluted that ACT consultants suggest hiring a consultant to install the software. I spent 9 months trying to get ACT 2007 to work properly & finally threw in the towel.

 

Through this list I was introduced to Gary David Hall  http://www.garydavidhall.com/ and have found him to be a true guru when it comes to contact management software. He sells them all: Act, Top Producer, Agent Office etc.

 

Not only is Gary knowledgeable, but he has taken the time to listen to my needs, offer solid suggestions, provide working copies of the leading contact management software on a trial basis and finally I settled on Agent Office, Version 10 which I purchased directly from Gary's web site.

 

When I was ready to convert my 800+ contacts from Act to Agent Office, Gary was there...logging on to my computer via the internet to assist in getting the new software set up & the Act files moved over.

 

Gary offers additional help in maximizing the Agent Office software which I plan to avail myself of soon.

 

I've only been using Agent Office for less than a month, but it works! It also runs circles around Act.

 

P.S. I'm not on Gary's payroll...... just a happy customer.

 

Kind regards to all,

"I just wanted to share with everyone that I spoke with Gary last week about changing my contact management software after he answered a post of mine here. Gary was easy to talk with, gave me plenty of time to explain my entire situation and set-up, and directed me to several different options giving me pros and cons to each. Ultimately, we arrived at a solution together, which I think is the best for me. Thank you, Gary for your excellent, unbiased help and for taking the time to understand my situation before making recommendations. I highly recommend Gary to everyone here. He is an excellent resource as most who have been members of this listserv know. I sincerely appreciate your consultant approach to my challenge. Thanks, again, Gary!!!"

Some kind words from someone that bought one product from me, did not like it, returned it, and didn't know I could also sell her Top Producer:

"Your professionalism is outstanding. I am very impressed by your willingness to "Make Things Right". It is rare in today's world. I would love to know more about what you do and who you are affiliated with. I have signed up with Top Producer and am very happy with the system. I am currently looking at Real........... If you have an affiliation with them or another lead system, please let me know. I would love to continue some sort of business with you as you have earned my trust. You must have similar standards to mine and the Core Values I live by. There should be more people like you out there. I have also shared your information and standards with many agents in my workshops & offices. I have referred several people over to Top Producer that have signed up after seeing my presentations. Would you gain from me referring them to you instead to get them on with Top Producer? 

Thank You again and I truly hope we can have dealings in the future in some format."

A Real Talk post:

 

Go ahead and call. I wasn't sure which CM project I wanted to go with, only that I knew I needed to find something. On Gary's web site there is an option to call and speak with someone or email. I sent an email, briefly explaining what I thought I needed and a little about what I wanted now and in the future from my business. Within 15 minutes I got a call back. We spoke for a few minutes determined the program that would best work for me. He directed me to a site where I could view a version of the program and Gary demo'd the program for me. It was probably a 20 minute conversation. No hard sell, just information.

 

Because Gary does not just represent one company, he is able to answer your questions honestly and without a thought of his compensation. This is exactly what I needed as I was not sure which program would work best for me.

 

As a side note- when I made a similar post in the past, I did get several helpful off line responses- thank you to those. However I also got an email from someone who's first email came through as "John Doe" offering his services as a rep from company XYZ and a hard sell as to why I should purchase through him. As my original post was requesting a site where I could get unbiased comparisons about the various programs, I felt this particular response was very inappropriate. Give Gary a call. And good luck to you.

Gary, I can't thank you enough for helping me understand the role technology would play in increasing my sales and systems. The time that you spent pulling all the loose ends together for me, and explaining and simplifying it all has proven to be invaluable. I have gone from throwing internet leads in the trash, to being the first one to respond. The familiarity that you have with the products real estate professional's use, helps what was once overwhelming become fun and exciting. Thanks again.
