" I've been using Outlook® with REMS [Active Agent for
Outlook® version 1] for about four months now, and switching
to Outlook® was a great move for me, I love the fact it
works so easily with the whole Microsoft office package, and with
the 'REMS' add-on it makes it a power client manager for real
estate agents. Thanks Jack and thank you for your
support".

"REMS/Active
Agent for Outlook is a program that makes Outlook my 'one-stop'
location for conducting my business.
I love the feature of using the Campaigns to keep in touch with
my Real Estate Contacts. It makes my life simpler to not have to
think about it, and my clients love the extra attention they're
getting. Whenever I need help and assistance, I get all the support
I need without any hassles. I would encourage this program for
any Real Estate Agent who likes to use Outlook."

"After
having tried Top Producer®, ACT®,
and Outlook®, it is such a relief to be back to Outlook® with
the REMS (soon to be called Active Agent for Outlook®) enhancement.
REMS has allowed me to comfortably use Outlook® for all of
my contact management needs. Additionally, it has made the execution
of my different campaigns much more efficient. I am truly looking
forward to version 2 and the letter campaign.
Thank you for such a great product!"

"I
am looking forward to the update. I have to tell you that I am
extremely pleased with the REMS version that
you sold me. I have been looking for a contact mgt. software program
that was just right for a long time, and I have tried many. REMS
has exactly what I need to keep detailed contact records of all
my clients and transactions. I would highly recommend this
software for any Realtor that wants to have the ultimate contact
mgt program."

Are
you tired of Contact Management software with an
inflated
price and a deflated feature set?
Discover how
you can use Microsoft
Office® as Your FULL
Featured
Contact
Manager...
You've
probably paid too much for big name contact management
applications, only to find out that it required hours of
training to use and therefore just sat on your shelf! A wise
person
once said, "The best software
is one that you actually use".
Well we took that quote and made it the cornerstone of our
contact management applications.
I
cannot tell you how many people I spoke to who lamented their
purchase of what they thought was 'the contact management
application'. So much so that 'the contact management
application' is now 'the bookend', because it just sits
on their shelf!
What
if I tell you that you can use standard desktop applications
(Microsoft Office®) to manage your contacts? No more
stripped down word processors or email software with a feature
set
resembling what everyone else was using 10 years ago! Keep
your contacts, email, task list and schedule in Microsoft
Outlook®; and use Word® and Publisher® for word
processing and flyers! Seems like too much to ask for, well
its not.
Why should most everyone else
out there be able to take advantage of the industry standard
desktop applications, and you as a real estate agent be forced
to
use
other
less
functional
software?
| "Well,
I have tested so many systems including Top Producer®,
and it amazes me that given how much these systems cost,
their functionality is so lacking! None of them
seem to
get it right. That is, power, simplicity & functional
applications for the way that a real estate agent runs
her/his business.
REMS/ACTIVE
AGENT FOR OUTLOOK® is so awesome! First & foremost
because most of us use Outlook® as our primary email
software ( I use it intensely) & this is where
most of our contacts live. Secondly, REMS utilizes
an Outlook® platform & builds
a powerful contact system around/within it to create
a real estate software program that really works. I think
it is well thought out & very functional.
Now I manage, communicate & keep in
contact with my clients and customers with ease and
confidence.
And it has already paid off.
Practical, smart, clean, easy to use, effective, efficient, & is
not bogged down by unnecessary or frivolous tools. And
most of all, it is supported. I don't feel like I am
out there by myself. You have personally spent a significant
amount of time answering my questions and fixing my bugs
with incredible patience & diligence.
Thanks so much for getting it! I really appreciate this
REMS Product."

About
3 years ago I was in a similar situation as you, searching
for the right contact management system, not for me but for
my wife. My wife is a Real Estate Agent in Austin Texas.
In searching for products I was shocked on what I found,
over priced software that looked like it was designed for
Windows 3 (circa 1992) or software that wanted a monthly
fee of $30-$60/month! No thanks!
I
did however find one product that was reasonably priced and
provided all the basic contact
management features she required; that product was Active
Agent. Well similar to what Victor Kiam did with the Remington
shaver ("I liked the shaver so much,
I bought the company."); I liked the product and it
just happened that the original developers of Active Agent
were
looking for a buyer of the product line, so "I bought
the product line!"
Within
the first year after re-releasing Active
Agent we began to get the
same question asked fairly regularly, "Why
is there not a real estate contact management product
like
Active Agent
available for Microsoft Outlook®?" It
did not take too many of these requests for us to realize
that we need
to develop a real estate contact management system for Outlook®.
In
August of 2003, after 8 months of development, we released
version 1 of Active Agent for Outlook (then called REMS).
Since then we have rolled out no less than 25 free incremental
updates to version 1 and then in April of 2005 version
2 was released. Version 2, now call Active Agent for Outlook,
boasts one of the most robust feature sets of all the real
estate contact management systems on the market today, bar
none!
In
Active Agent for Outlook we built the key features that
you have been asking for in a real estate contact management
system. And, we put them in an easy to use package that works
within Microsoft Outlook®. With Active Agent for Outlook
you will be able to:
-
Quickly
and easily create merge documents, without
even knowing how to set a merge document up on Word®
-
Send
a personalized letter to a contact with a few clicks of
your mouse
-
Schedule
follow-ups for a contact while you are still on the contact
with a single mouse click
-
Print
labels for a few contacts, an entire category, zip code,
city, state, etc, with a few quick mouse clicks
-
Track
your buyer's requirements
-
Track
your client's entire family's birthdays and even add
some or all of them to your calendar
-
Create
any number of transaction records, for your client
-
Create
drip marketing campaigns, we even created a few for you
including 84 professionally written letters
-
Automate
your checklists with campaigns
-
Print
your letters for the day with a few quick mouse clicks
-
Set
your goals using the principles outlined in Gary Keller's
Millionaire Real Estate Agent book, without spending
hours crunching numbers
-
Generate
amortization schedules that you can then email to your
client.
-
Mass
update a list of contacts to add them to a category
-
Convert
a standard Outlook® contact to Active Agent for Outlook
Real Estate Contact
-
Just
image what that could mean for your business. What if you could
stop wasting time trying to learn how to use software and just
install it and begin being more productive? Isn't that the point
of using software in the first place, to save you
time and gain productivity; not to give you another thing to
learn and consequently cost you time?
Stop
wasting your time and money on
complex
proprietary software
Let
me ask you again, why should everyone else get to take advantage
of the industry standard product for word processing, email and
flyers/postcards, while you are saddled with stripped down
versions just because you want a real estate contact management
system?
Well they shouldn't, you can now use Microsoft Office® to
manage your contact database without giving up the features you
want
in a
contact management system. Let's take a look at how Active Agent
for Outlook can help you organize and grow your business:
- See
Immediate gains in productivity -
By leveraging standard desktop applications at the core of
Active Agent for Outlook we
are able to significantly reduce the learning curve and allow
you to see gains in productivity day-one.
- Maintain
a single contact database. By
moving your contact management into Microsoft Outlook® you
no longer need to maintain an address book for email and
another for your contact management
system; it is all done from within Outlook® now!
- Easily
stay in touch with your contacts. With the ability to quickly
and easily generate letters for your clients there
is no longer an excuse not to ‘touch’ your clients
on a regular basis.
- Standardize
how you run your business. With
campaigns you can now create automated checklists for the
routine tasks
you normally do during the different phases of a transaction.
- Print
all your documents for the day in a few minutes each morning. With
the campaign and letter manager you can pull up all the
letters/emails that are scheduled
to be sent
for any day and with a few mouse clicks get them sent.
- Set
your Goals based upon your actual business metrics. With
the Goals Module you can input the specifics of your
business and it will crunch the numbers and calculate
the number
of contacts you need to make on a weekly and monthly
basis to
achieve your desired income goal. You can even have it
add your goals to your task list as a recurring weekly
task.
- Create
Word® mail merge documents without having to open a
single manual or help file. You'll never have to
stumble
through another lengthy help file to learn how
to setup Word® to
do a mail merge. By using Active Agent for
Outlook you can now click on merge templates and
create a new
merge template,
its that easy.
- Maintain
a consistent history of your interaction with your clients. All the activities you create from within Active Agent
for Outlook are automatically linked back to the contact it
was created for, that way you do not lose your history for
a contact.
- Spend
time selling not writing letters. By providing you
with 84 professionally
written letters you
can reallocate the hours
and hours that you would spend writing your ‘stay
in touch’ letters
to more productive tasks.
- Selectively
export your contact data, easily - Have you ever tried
to export a subset of your contacts (e.g., buyers category)?
I am sure you realized very quickly that it is not possible.
You export an entire folder or nothing at all. With Active
Agent for Outlook you can, with a few quick clicks, create
an export file and have it attached to an email based upon
all or part of the following:
- Category
- Name (first or last)
- Company
- City
- State
- Zip
- Email
- Title
- Phone
- Distribution
list
- or
Select them individually while scrolling through your database
- Create
Appointments and Tasks that automatically reference your contact -
How many times have you wanted to pull up your contact and
then see all the appointments and tasks that you had with this
client. Well unless you added the contact to the contacts field
at the bottom left of the task or appointment that history
is gone. With Active Agent for Outlook you no longer have to
worry about that happening again. If you schedule an appointment
or task for a contact(s) via the toolbar we automatically make
that association for you. Not only do we link the appointment
and task to the contact we even insert the contact's name and
phone numbers in the body of the appointment or task for you.
- Create
records of your Transactions - You may be thinking
this all sounds good, but "I need to track information about
my transactions in my contact database." Well, with Active
Agent for Outlook you can! Create any number of transactions
linking
them to your client's contact record.
- Automate
the creation of flyers - Do you spend hours creating
your property flyers? Now with Active Agent for Outlook you
can create your flyer templates once in Microsoft Publisher®
and then reuse them over and over again. On the Property/Transaction
you enter your flyer text, up to 8 images of your property and the location
of your Publisher® and we will merge it for you*.
This
is just a partial list of the benefits that you will see by using Active
Agent for Outlook to manage your contact database. But don't take my
word for it look at what some of our customers are saying: |

Randon downloaded version 1 and was instantly
using it...
"WOW
is all I can say. You guys are going to knock-em dead with
this program. I downloaded the trial last night and instantly
was using the program.
No instructions, no learning curve, just started using the
program.
After about an hour, I purchased the program and am loving
it.
I am going to demo the program to my marketing class at
my office and recommend it to other agents."

Kathy is a Broker/Owner in Atlanta as well
as an ePro and Allen Hainge CyberStar...
"I'm
glad to tell others about this program!! I used Online
Agent for years
and became increasingly more frustrated with the
lack of
simple integration for email to/from clients. So,
when my laptop was stolen, I chose to not reinstall that
program; instead, I began using Outlook exclusively.
I was then
faced with finding a solution for the missing real
estate functions that were integrated in my prior
system.
I
purchased another program that is advertised as
a real estate add-on for Outlook and was sorely disappointed.
Once again, the program required leaving Outlook
to
complete functions such as marketing and activity
campaigns. The
only functionality that had been added (as far
as
I could tell) were additional contact record data fields.
And,
the program conflicted with ShareOutlook, the program
we use to keep our data synchronized among our
staff. After much frustration I deleted that program and
began
another search for the perfect solution.
My
friend, Joe Molnar, had recommended REMS to me more
than a year ago. He was still satisfied
with the
program and that
was all I needed. After a trial download I was convinced!!
The program offers all the integrated functionality I wanted
- and more. It has never conflicted with another Outlook
add-on program! The customer service has been phenomenal
and, by all
appearances in Version 2, responsive to agent feedback.
Keep up the good work!!"

Steve is the number 2 agent in his Keller
Williams Office...
"Wow,
you're fast! I'll tell you I really love the product and
I'm sure we still aren't taking full advantage of all of
it right now. When asked what I use by agents in our office
I tell them I've used them all, which is true, but that I
love the combination of Outlook with your product best. Works
clean doesn't slow down my machine and keeps even our busy
schedule in line every time.
Trust me I'll keep sharing your web site link. I've even
demo'd your product to a few agents off of my laptop. It
has a great impact on them. It doesn't hurt that we were
#2 in our office of 250 agents last year either ;) They like
using what we're using. Like I said hopefully you'll see
the benefit soon from them coming over. "

Jim is a seasoned real estate professional
of 20+ years...
"I
have been actively selling real estate full time for 20 years
in the Denver area. I have constantly used contact management
systems for most of my years in the business. Sonoma Enterprises
has been outstanding in fulfilling my needs with regard to
managing my contacts. My dream was to be able to really use
Outlook for my contacts but couldn't get it to really work
for me other than e-mail management. Now I spend 90% of my
time in Outlook as opposed to switching from one program
to another. This has saved me time and money. I am more efficient
and speedy as I spend my daily power hour making calls and
e-mail follow-ups. This product fulfilled my dreams as far
as taking care of my needs and has made me more productive.
My assistant loves the product too. She is printing labels
and categorizing and mail merging with ease. Something we
struggled with in my previous contact management software."

As you can see
there is a TON of features in Active Agent for Outlook and YES
you can satisfy all your contact management needs and still use standard
full
featured applications!
The top needs
that I hear over and over again from agents are:
- Be able
to systematically and easily 'touch' their customers and prospects
- Have a system that reminds them about critical events, such as
- Birthdays
- Contract and listing milestones
- Follow-ups
- Have one place to see all the interaction with a client/prospect
- Have a system
that they can provide immediate productivity
Active Agent
for Outlook has been designed to directly addresses these needs, along
with so much more.
All
of this is available to you
RISK FREE
Here
is the best news of all: unlike the other real estate contact
management systems which require you to pay up front, we are
giving you the opportunity
to try the FULL UNRESTRICTED application FREE!
We feel
so strongly that once you install and begin to use Active Agent
for Outlook you will see the enormous value and begin to see
benefits in your business immediately! So much so that you will
ask yourself how can we provide all this functionality for only
$299?
Just
think about the time you spend each week creating and sending
out letters to your contacts. If you send 20 letters a week and
spend 15 minutes per letter (writing, merging and printing),
that is 5 hours each week just to get the 20 letters out. With
Active Agent for Outlook we give you 84 letters to choose from
and with the quick letter feature you just select the contact,
pick the letter and print it. You turned
a 5 hour task into (at the most) a 10 minute task, saving you 4
hours
and 50 minutes!
You
may say, "I don't send 20 letters a week", well just think how
much more business you could be doing if you were sending constant
and consistent communication to your prospects and clients!
This
is just one example, but as you can see, you will recoup
the $299 investment many many times over! |
So
where are the
Hidden Charges?
Okay,
having purchased software before you must be asking "so how
much do I pay annually for support and how much is it going
to cost me to get updates for new versions of Microsoft Office?"
The
answer is: There are NO any additional charges! A full year
of support is included in the purchase price of $299 and we
provide comparability and service updates free of charge on
our website!
Our
approach to business is very different than other companies;
we believe in charging a fair price for our products and designing
them so that they do not require extensive training or ongoing
support. This permits us to not charge for ongoing support
simply because our support load is so low! |
