What to Look for in a CRE Platform

Top Five Things to Look for in a Commercial Real Estate Software Package

1. Ease of Use

Do your tools work for you or against you?

The best technology simplifies rather than complicates your tasks. 

The interface should be intuitive, with a short learning curve, allowing you to navigate effortlessly through its features. If you find yourself spending excessive time trying to figure out how to perform basic functions, it's a sign that the platform may not be the right fit for your business.

2. Reputation

What are people saying about the platform?

Reputation speaks volumes about the reliability and effectiveness of any software platform. 

Before making a decision, research the platform's standing within the industry. Seek recommendations from colleagues, read reviews, and evaluate testimonials to gauge its track record. Opt for platforms with a proven history of success, as they are more likely to deliver the results you expect. And consider their actual knowledge of the Commercial Real Estate industry.
