"I consider myself very proficient in a full suite of software tools, given my years of experience in real estate sales. I currently work in Propertybase, which has an amazing CRM function and lead generation tools. I also utilize its calendar and scheduling functions when showing homes and meeting with clients. I've also worked intimately on Zillow Premier Agent. If I were to join the KB Home team, I feel confident in my ability to spend my first couple of weeks mastering your CRM and other tools that will help me get up and running quickly on the job."
