“HomeKeeper is the most customizable database I have ever worked in. Adding fields, moving fields, and hiding fields you don’t use; it can all be done with ease. I have been able to set up merge documents with the help of Conga Composer, another app of Salesforce, and we have been able to eliminate a lot of our triple and quadruple entry of data. Now we can just click on a link and the document merges together! Reporting is a breeze! I can’t believe how easy it is to click and drag the information that you want in a report and it’s done! Every day I learn something new that HomeKeeper can do. The support has been great. We now have 518 properties that are part of our Shared Equity portfolio and managing our data and pulling reports has never been easier.”<\/p>\n

HomeKeeper is a fully functional, top rate software program that has captured the process of Community Land Trust Homeownership and automated it skillfully. I am thankful that I can sit down and input data without dozens of calls to a support line or to hours of reading help screens or manuals. \u00a0 Your customer support and assistance is excellent, prompt and courteous! \u00a0 I would recommend HomeKeeper to all Community Land Trust organizations. It is the perfect program for every stage of CLT Homeownership. Please see my attached testimonial <\/a>for more details on my HomeKeeper experience.”<\/p>\n

“As an Executive Director, I strive to track the volume of activity\u2013how many inquires do we have for our services? How many people have we served with what services? etc. \u00a0 I also need to keep our Board of Trustees informed about how we are serving our community. \u00a0 Before HomeKeeper, staff members spent 1 to 2 hours each month on reports inventorying data about our service levels. Now I can see that data instantly in a Dashboard on my computer, and I can drill down for more details on our applicants, our waiting list, the status of sales and resales.<\/p>\n
What I am most excited about is that my organization is now much less vulnerable to loss of information that might result from key staff members departures. \u00a0 There are so many pieces of data on each property, each person, each transaction, and now that information is all stored in one place, instead of a mix of paper files and spreadsheets.”<\/p>\n

HomeKeeper is my daily workflow tool. I use it to track site inspections and activity on both properties and client files. The way that HomeKeeper links the property and the service files together is essential. I no longer rely on multiple disparate spreadsheets. Once you set HomeKeeper up in a way that works for your program, the information you may need at any time is automatically linked.
