The CRM thread is what inspired this question along with my personal interest in finding a central system that has the ability to integrate all facets of an investment/development shop from various systems. So what apps or software do you guys in the industry use? Most real estate firms are pretty archaic and the systems are segmented from my experience. Curious what systems people are using for each facet of their business and if they integrate with each other. Feel free to add additional categories and apps.

Probably helps to state what your firm does and size, ie national investment sales brokerage, local/regional developer focusing on high-rise apartment developments, 3-man value-add shop, commercial or residential focused, etc. Interested to hear from perspective of large corporations down to people managing their own small portfolio.

As soon as I started my business, I was given essential advice: you need to invest money in software made specifically for your company because it will be much more functional and convenient than others. I did so. I gave most of my budget to the developers who created an application to control all transactions. Also, in addition to the software that allowed me to monitor my entire business, I immediately wanted to have a beautiful and, most importantly, a functional website made for me. And of course, I found a small IT company called CubeCode, which provided people to develop an application for my business.
