## Reviews

### "Strong Prospecting Tool" — 5.0/5

> **Yasmin** | *30 December 2025* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like how strong and user-friendly the prospecting tools are for finding and engaging potential clients. The to-do list is also a great feature - it helps me maintain consistent outreach and stay top-of-mind with my leads.
> 
> **Cons**: One suggestion would be enabling Google Calendar integration. Being able to sync tasks and reminders would make staying organized even easier.
> 
> My overall experience has been very positive. Buildout helps us provide value to prospects by keeping them connected to listings that match their interests. It strengthens relationships and keeps leads engaged with polished, branded outreach.

### "Best tool for our listings from start to finish" — 5.0/5

> **Kelli** | *10 December 2025* | Commercial Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ability to produce all our documents, connect our listings to our website and track all of our transactions/broker payments in the system.
> 
> **Cons**: There is no draft option when editing an existing listing's documents. No live customer service which is only open during one time zone working hours (and not mine\!).
> 
> Very good, support staff is amazing and always personable and helpful. I use it all day every day and it mostly suits our needs.

### "Drake Real Estate & Investments - Buildout Review" — 5.0/5

> 
> **Pros**: Buildout has simplified our office workflow by integrating all of our marketing needs into one easy to use platform.
> 
> **Cons**: The lack of flexibility to customize our marketing materials on an as-needed basis. The document editor is a little clunky.

### "This is a very powerful tool for brokers without a lot of staff." — 5.0/5

> **Shelly** | *21 June 2022* | Commercial Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love the ease of being able to plug in your data and have beautiful brochures ready in a short amount of time. The fact that o no longer need a marketing staff member create the flyer saves me time and money.  &#10;&#10;The reporting feature are far better than any we have evaluated. Being able to forecast revenue and still down to the agent level makes decision making so much easier.  It also lets me know which agent are doing their job and which ones need some help.
> 
> **Cons**: The time to set up the company specific fields was not ideal. The CRM comes with out of the box fields created for CRE, it didn’t take into account the specialized fields required for a large land deal. &#10;&#10;There are also some difficulties with images and how they are downsized and cropped in a flyer. And there needs to be some improvement in the mapping tool.
> 
> Definitely worth the money. Setup should be a little easier.
