What do you like best about BackAgent?

I LOVE the way it keeps me on track with a transaction and tells me what must be uploaded and WHEN. The whole process of getting the appropriate documents uploaded is so simple once you understand, and VERY useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BackAgent?

Some of the sections with office resources seem redundant, but that could be a clerical issue rather than a software one. It just makes it somewhat tricky remembering exactly where I saw the document I am searching for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering BackAgent:

I like it ... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BackAgent solving and how is that benefiting you?

Personally, the most enormous problem is that of keeping track of paperwork so that everything is collected and in a mutually "shareable" place to benefit all parties. Without it, I would need to hire an organized person! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface is good, and it lets you know at a glance what documents are needed for a specific phase of the deal Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BackAgent?

It would be nice to allow more questions at the beginning of the transaction to be defined by the user. We have several questions that will allow their good If Then logic to be better suited to our company needs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering BackAgent:

Backagent makes it easy for all agents to maintain their files based on the definition of your brokerage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BackAgent?

The ability to have one program that handles all my needs on the back office side of the real estate transaction. Met them at NAR in May 2016 and was on board with them before I even left the front door and they have not dissapointed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BackAgent?

In an effort to offer everything they don't do some of the anscillary services as well. For example we are using them to host email to make it easier for agents. We are having some issues and going through the customer support has taken longer than I'd have liked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering BackAgent:

It is an amazing back-office software. It may not be the one-stop shop that some are looking for however the company admits freely that it isn't designed to be a one-stop shop. Has added products at request of users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BackAgent solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am a small brokerage of about 3 agents. So selling is the most important thing I do on a daily basis. This allows me to be legal and know that my agents -- and myself - are held accountable on a daily basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ryan A. Missman of BackAgent

Howdy Toby,

We have been impressed by how quickly y'all have adopted the system and got up and running. We will be sure and follow up on the issues you have stated about email hosting.

As a pro tip, you might try out the auto-set due dates for checklist items on each transaction. Being able to know a specific due date instead of 5 days before closing is a lot easier to recall and it automatically shows up on your calendar and connected devices.

What do you like best about BackAgent?

That I finally found it in the maze of websites I have to get to know as a Keller Williams agent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BackAgent?

This particular website is the slowest one I use and the Navigation is from 2006 instead of 2016. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering BackAgent:

Sometimes its just better to wait until the right product finally makes it to market.

If you're in a hurry and you want something really bad, that's usually what you end up with Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BackAgent solving and how is that benefiting you?

I just wanted my account information. Figured it was somewhere on BackAgent. I searched and searched and found this link http://backagent-insights.blogspot.com/2016/07/manage-member-plans-commission-plans.html . So, I sent support an email asking where I could find the link to "profile" then "account". Response was instant! They said they didn't know. :- (

All they had to tell me was to click my name.

There's just nothing like wasting 20 minutes trying to find something obvious on a website to energize another 10 minutes to write a review. (a review, which by the way took 5 clicks to get to) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ryan A. Missman of BackAgent

Howdy Kenneth,

We've got some great news for you, we are working to release a greatly updated navigation and overall appearance to the system before the NAR Convention this year. We have also made substantial performance updates over the past couple of months to ensure pages load quickly and reliably. If you are still seeing an issue, please be sure and let our support team know.

As for the membership plans, we can appreciate the confusion yet there is a solution here; your office staff can contact us and setup the commission plans for your Market Center. For most MCs, the answer to your question about commission plans is to contact the local staff because it is not available in our default deployment for KW. Good news is your MC has already upgraded their MC Intranet to include expanded document storage, banner management, and our full system which includes transaction management. If you'd like to see our full system that can be rolled out by your MC, please give us a call or visit our website to signup for an upcoming webinar.

We very much appreciate your review Kenneth. Please let us know if you have any questions. We're here to help!

What do you like best about BackAgent?

BackAgent has made our lives much simpler but the Help Desk has always been a source of contention, until now. Corey has made our interaction with the Help Desk so much better! He really is top-notch and so professional. He reads our ticket emails thoroughly and then responds with an educated answer that is, more times than not, exactly what we needed.

Thank you,

Danna Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BackAgent?

I truly dislike it when we email the help desk and they respond with a dismissive answer that doesn't begin to address the issue.

Also, when we ask for something to happen and are told it can't happen, when we already know it can, we just have to ask the right person. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BackAgent solving and how is that benefiting you?

Better customer service for our agents. Solving their closing issues in mere moments rather than hours or even days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am working on adding zip forms and esignatures, I currently use dotloop and would prefer to go to one place, such as here, to do all my real estate business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ryan A. Missman of BackAgent

Good news, there is an option to import your contacts at the bottom of the 'My Contacts' page. Be sure to contact our support team if you need any assistance formatting the import files.

As for zipForms and esignatures, we have integrations with zipForm Plus embedded to create the forms and integrations with Digital Ink, Hellosign, & Docusign for digital signatures. Dotloop has recently announced a new system that may enable us to interconnect our systems as well, we have reached out to them for more information.
