What do you dislike about Total Expert?

There isn't much to dislike with Total Expert, they are constantly improving and gathering feedback on how to make the platform better for all users. If you can explain why it's an issue, Total Expert will work with you to find a solution that works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Total Expert:

I highly recommend Total Expert. If you are still trying to decide, I would jump into a webinar or request a demo. Total Expert is always improving and adding new features to make the platform even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Total Expert solving and how is that benefiting you?

One of the biggest problems we face with marketing is time. The easiest way to help our users is to automate as much as we can for them while maintaining a personal approach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Total Expert?

Email, single property website, and print marketing. We also love the dashboard. It helps keep the loan officers informed of what they are doing in so many ways. Focus View is a big hit as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Total Expert?

Not being able to have our program and rates pull in automatically and getting the newsletters the same day as they need to be assigned to my loan officers. If I'm out of the office the newsletter has to wait to go out until I'm back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Total Expert solving and how is that benefiting you?

Total Expert helps us know when somone can refi or if their ARM is about to expire. Also, pre-qual expiring. When business is slow these functions help gain business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Total Expert?

Social tools - connecting with integration feature is super helpful, and includes automation which the sales team uses a lot for LinkedIn for engagement purposes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Total Expert?

Data (contact) workflow/less integration tool settings (Instagram). I was not apart of the implementation process, so there was a lot of errors we noticed - however, we were able to connect with TE for support on what features needed to be turned off, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Total Expert solving and how is that benefiting you?

Data contact clean-up; The TE team has been extremely responsive and helpful with cleaning up several contacts for us using a bulk process. We meet weekly to engage in how the process is going and I finally feel like we're all on the same page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Total Expert?

The platform is user-friendly and easy to navigate. The co-marketing functions are a huge benefit as many Realtors are in awe of the single property sites and listing flyers. The focussed view and the customization of the focussed view, being able to assign to specific teams, etc. is a great benefit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Total Expert?

Receiving conflicting messages from different TE team members. We would like to customize our dashboard and we were originally told it required a SOW then 6 months later we were told there were available dashboard configurations at no cost. Anything beyond the available configurations would require a SOW. In September 2021 we were told automated postcards were available, we advertised this to our LO's and had them opt-in, only to find out this function was not ready and would not be ready until June 2022. These are just two instances of many.

The Optimal Blue integration pulls in incorrect rates from OB. OB points the finger at TE and TE points the finger at OB. The customer is left without a solution.

It would be great if the Loan Pipeline could have a "saved" view like the contacts list.

The dialer does not have a transfer function.

Listing insights are inaccurate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Total Expert solving and how is that benefiting you?

Being able to pull custom reports would be beneficial. We currently have to submit a special request that takes 5-7 business days to receive. Enhanced reporting that we can pull ourselves would be a huge advancement and we are told it may be rolled out by Jan 2023. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Total Expert?

The ability to customize everything. We can make so much that is company-specific, which allows us to keep everything on brand. At the same time we can utilize their custom content and customize that as well. We never run out of options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Total Expert?

NOTHING! There is nothing that I dislike, maybe the cost, but when you see what Total Expert can do you understand the cost and it is completely justified! There is nothing this CRM can't do! And they are adding more every day! I actually get excited about the releases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Total Expert:

You won't be sorry if by going with Total Expert. This CRM blows everyone else away. There is no comparison. We had to have 2 CRMs before to do HALF of what Total Expert can do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Total Expert solving and how is that benefiting you?

I can customize things for every LO in my company and make things single-person-specific if I want. Total Expert has also made it so much easier to stay in front of our customers and keep our finger on the pulse of what our customers want and need. Their custom reports help us see and understand each customer we contact. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Total Expert?

I like the large amounts of engagement resources available to Admins and the support that we have available to us. Other CRM platforms that I've worked with are not as helpful in this aspect or charge loads extra for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Total Expert?

System UI and UX can be a bit overwhelming for end users that aren't "techy" or experienced in using CRM's - not an issue with proper training.

Personally, I'd like to see improvements in Single Property Sites. They should be dynamic enough to update on their own based on status in MLS (active, pending, sold, etc. ).

The inability to make custom forms and landing pages within TE is a bit disappointing and a product gap when compared to other CRMs. This gap can be filled through integrations with other platforms, but that is not ideal.

This may be possible and I don't know how but I don't believe there is any way to download a PDF "handbook" of a journey. In other CRMs, you can download an entire workflow/campaign in a visually appealing PDF handbook that helps you better visualize the campaign and what goes out and when. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Total Expert:

Get a dedicated person or even a team at your company that manages your CRM. You will see much better utilization and ROI if you do so. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Total Expert solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are focusing on lead follow-up automation through various journeys and lead capture apps. TE has enabled to have consistent automated touch-points that keep our originators top of mind without them having to dedicate a significant amount of time to it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Total Expert?

It feels like Total Expert is not an out-of-the-box product, but more configurable to our needs. This can be a blessing and headache at times, but it feels like they are working to make more integrations and configurations available to the user as needed. Total Expert allows for journey builds that are useful for reaching our prospects in a very timely/circumstantial case-by-case scenario helping us reach better segmented audiences. It's nice to have a lot of support channels available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Total Expert?

The interface feels clunky or rushed to market. Things get held up/frozen/lost from time to time causing work to take longer than any other CRM I've used in any industry. Emails almost never save correctly causing us to work harder to figure out workarounds than actually working on figuring out content/strategy from within. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Total Expert:

Have CRM experience with other companies. It will be very hard to build this from the ground up without any experience in CRM builds as you're made to do most of it yourself by way of guidance calls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Total Expert solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's buggy from time to time. There's not always concrete answers from the support team. A lot of "we'll have to get back to you" type of answers causing a lot of frustration from our top down. We have been using Total Expert from a retail and wholesale mortgage perspective and it seems like there are a lot of things TE COULD do, but we get lost in the bugs more often than not.

What do you like best about Total Expert?

I like scheduling social media for MLOs in it. Also organizing their marketing materials in the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Total Expert?

Sometimes customization can get tricky as well as making sure groups are all correct. I'm still learning about creating journeys. They do have IM for customer service to help with that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Total Expert solving and how is that benefiting you?

For the mortgage side, it is solving the problem of staying top of mind with current customers and potential customers as well as realtors with co-marketing partnership. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
