real estate property web-based database?
hi am NOT familiar with programming so kindly excuse my poor I.T. language….. Am looking for a real estate database software.
A property web-based database, (1)for my self to display the properties owners info and remarks ect…(2)and to be used on the net for clients without displaying properties owners info (3)which can be custom-built for quick or detailed property searches / filters, such as … location ….and/or…. Price… and/or…. Bedrooms……and/or…photos…and so on…(4) and that uses my already existing Microsoft Excel data.
My present Microsoft Excel database workbook consists of 7 sheets for a total of 50,000 properties and few hundreds of contact persons clients, contractors, notaries etc ….
I also know about the ACT! by Sage Premium for Real Estate 2006 and am willing to purchase it if it can be synchronized with the database am requesting …
kindly guide me to make the best buy.
Thank you and best regards

You are correct in your feeling that this may be more of IT question than a real estate question.
I wish I was better acquainted with projects to manage property but I am not. Your issue is two-fold. One, you want to be able to simply and efficiently parse through a large number of properties. That is perfect for a relational database (Microsoft Access for you PC users or MySQL for you UNIX folks – if that doesn’t mean anything to you, just ignore it). Your next issue, which raises the bar is that you want it to be on a web site and still protect some of the information you have.
If you have a degree in computer science, this is a fun weekend project. In fact, if you cannot locate a cheap commercial off-the-shelf (cots) product that does what you want, I would go to the local Junior College or college (shoot, probably many high-school students could do this) and try to higher a computer science major. If possible, talk to the professors about their bright aspiring students and see if you can sponsor one of them into doing this either for a grade or pay or whatever.
I would look at and search for software that you may be able to download.
The problem is if you want something truly web enabled and customized, it could cost a fairly significant amount. Some of this can be recouped if you also agree to pay the person developing the database to host your site – either way you pay. If you can find a product in a box that suits your needs that will be the cheapest way to go.
I’m not familiar with ACT! Premium for Real Estate – that may do all these things. ACT! is a very popular customer relationship management software, but I’m not familiar with whether it will suck in your existing database (it SHOULD, but I can’t say if it does) and I’m also not sure if it will allow you to access it from the web.
Best of luck.
