Let’s clear the air — Left Main REI and CarrotCRM are both great CRM options for real estate investors. They’re both custom-built for this industry, so they have a lot of features you need and aren’t bogged down by traditional CRM features that don’t fit a real estate workflow.
Choosing the right CRM comes down to what you’re looking for, how you like to work, and what stage your business is at.
A quick summary of CarrotCRM versus Left Main REI
Left Main REI is built on Salesforce. It’s positioned as a top-shelf solution for large teams that want a lot of customization. However, that customization often comes with extended buildout times and expensive implementation budgets, which are common with Salesforce-based products. Left Main REI offers limited AI features focused on helping investors nurture cold leads over long periods of time, hoping they’ll be ready to sell eventually.
CarrotCRM is accessible for teams of all sizes and grows with you as your business expands — including being the CRM of choice for many multi-million dollar real estate investors running large teams. It features a growing collection of AI tools enabling all users to move faster, identify the most motivated leads right now, and get more done with less effort.
If you want to pay enterprise Salesforce prices, Left Main REI is a great option. But if you want a robust real estate CRM without breaking the bank or taking months to get onboarded, CarrotCRM is the best solution.
