Chicago, Illinois - November 5, 2007 - Sage Software today announced the new ACT! by Sage for Real Estate 2008 (10.0) and ACT! by Sage Premium for Real Estate 2008 (10.0) contact and customer management solutions during its Sage Summit customer conference at McCormick West Convention Center in Chicago, IL. ACT! for Real Estate solutions help residential real estate agents and brokers organize their buyer, seller, and property information in one place, communicate effectively through custom flyers and letter templates, and manage property showing, closing, and reporting activities.

The National Association of REALTORS® 2007 REALTOR Technology Survey shows significant demand for sales productivity tools. The survey found that 80 percent of sales agents and associate brokers rated the value of technology supplied by their broker as being extremely valuable or somewhat valuable, and 65 percent responded yes when asked if they wanted their broker to expand the amount of technology offered. Sixty-four percent also said they communicate with past clients quarterly or more often.

"ACT! for Real Estate equips real estate professionals with the tools needed to manage client communications and become more successful in an increasingly competitive market," explained David van Toor, senior vice president and general manager for Sage CRM Solutions. "Cultivating quality referrals is a catalyst for selling more homes, or more of anything, and with ACT! – regardless of what industry you use it in – productively managing valuable sales relationships is the means to that end."
