Is your database full of duplicates?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Most real estate professionals realize that their business revolves around their database. Your database is your livelihood. So it makes sense to control your own real estate database and put a little time to keeping it clean and updated.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Successful Realtor’s have many different lead sources and ways of meeting new prospects, so they are constantly adding new names to their database each week or even daily. Some of the new names will be added manually, others may be internet leads coming into the real estate CRM automatically and other contacts may be imported from a list all in the same week. You can see how easily one may end up with duplicates that need to be addressed.</span></p>
