Testimonials

From agents who have used the others

"I have used every popular real estate CRM in Australia and have found that MantisProperty by far is the best real estate CRM and easiest to use. Best in affordability and service."

HarryIndependent Estate Agents

"I have used many other real estate CRMs (REX, My Desktop, Vault, Agentbox, PropertyMe) and I can truly say that I have found Mantis to be the easiest to learn and implement, and value for money."

Jenna CatchpoleLamonds Estate Agents

"I enquired on 8 different CRM websites and Mantis were one of the quickest to respond. They didn't rope me in to all of these extras that the others tried to, and it was the most cost effective also."
