5 Reasons Why a Cloud-Based Realtor CRM is The Way to Go
Should you use a Realtor CRM “in the cloud” or are you better off sticking with a standalone system? This blog post will explain why a cloud-based Realtor CRM is your best option.
A cloud-based system, also known as “web-based,” is one that you access through the internet. A standalone system on the other hand is one you download on your computer (to your computer’s hard drive).

The IXACT Contact program is spectacular! It’s intelligently thought out and well designed. I love how simple and intuitive it is.
- Mark Agnew, RE/MAX Professionals
I love IXACT Contact! With it, I’ve created a contract to close process that works really well. I’ve put a buyer through start to finish and it’s like having a very expensive admin help me. Emails go out on schedule and the buyer loved the reminders. The key is in the product’s ability to drive off of the contract and closing dates, which not all systems will do. And it’s so easy to set up!
