The guides

The questions that come before a signature

The questions agents, team leaders and brokers type into a search box before they sign a year: what a CRM built for this industry actually adds, whether it reaches your MLS, what it costs once there are five of you, and which of the general CRMs is worth bending into shape instead. Every price in these guides carries the day it was read.
