powerOne® CRE v2

Customer Comments

"I am an Associate Broker and Market Value Appraiser with Royal LePage Real Estate Services Ltd. My specialty is selling income producing properties and office and retail leasing in the downtown area of Toronto. The reason I switched to a handheld was to have all the information and calculations I might need in one small convenient to carry place. (no daytimer and financial calculator anymore) My Palm along with powerOne Commercial Real Estate have proved to be the ideal solution. I have especially found these calculations very helpful: TVM, Canadian Mortgage calculator, Capitalization, Cash on cash return, Equity return, and Gross rent multiplier. With all of this power in my Palm, I've been able to get more work done, and I'm not carrying around as much equipment."

"I am a Loan Officer for a Mortgage Broker office and currently use powerOne Commercial Real Estate to provide quick answers to clients in the field. With your announcement of the Windows version, I think that you are very close to solving a long time problem of mine. I am constantly traveling to meet clients, and I have always found it difficult to provide accurate quotes while in the field. Even if I give my client a quick quote, I have to reenter the data into our Loan Origination Software (LOS) back at the office. I would find it extremely helpful to be able to provide simple quotes to clients in the field and be able to save that quote information until I return to my office, and then be able to export the information either to a simple text file or to a format that could be imported by one of the mainstream LOS packages. We use Calyx Point software as our LOS. The Windows version of powerOne CRE supports exporting to a text file which is a big help."

"I'm owner and president of Sales Advisors Company. I spend a lot of time out of my office and need a tool to make quick calculations, make a note etc. I have used handheld computers for about 6 years, and I purchased powerOne Commercial Real Estate in July. powerOne CRE has been very effective with the business and financial calculations that I do routinely (i.e. cash-flow, margin, money value in time etc.) Time is precious to me, and handheld computers and software like powerOne CRE have given me more time to build relationships with my clients."

"I am presently a principal for an investment company that focuses on fixed income securities. While we focus on the Residential Mortgage and Commercial Mortgage Backed markets, we also purchase and sell securities in other industries. I am responsible for underwriting, servicing and selling securities for the company.

The calculations that I use most routinely include interest computations, payment, IRR and time value of money. I also like to use the date function that enables you to determine the number of days during a fixed period.

I started using palm-top computers over 10 years ago and I recently purchased my Palm handheld during February. I have always had the need to bring my office on the road. Your software works great for my needs, and I've found that is superior to the HP line of financial calculators. I've been able to replace my HP 12C calculator, and I believe that most of our professionals would benefit from using powerOne CRE"

"I am owner, chief cook and bottle washer of Hooton Hollar Investments. I am a new real estate investor, and I am beginning a college course in appraisals. I just recently purchased my Palm and powerOne CRE. This is actually the first handheld computer I've owned, but handheld calculators and desktop computers have been a part of my life for a long time. Because I spend a lot of time away from my office, I've been looking for ways to take my office with me. I find it very cumbersome to haul my laptop around, but the Palm with your software seems like it will fill my needs. I hope to be able to use and master the majority of functions in time so I can make quick decisions when I am viewing a potential property for purchase."

"I've been in the commercial real estate industry for 28 years, and currently I'm the President of Commerce Communities Corp which is a Santa Clara, CA based industrial real estate development company. I use powerOne CRE every day. It is much better than my old HP 18 calculator. Your software with my Sony Clie T-615 are a great combination, and they really help simplify my life away from my office."

"I am very impressed with both the powerOne Commercial Real Estate and the desktop calculator. The PC version is very straightforward and easy to use. The palm version with the real estate templates does everything (and more) than I need for day to day calculations and the convenience of not having to tote a financial calculator as well as my palm is great. All in all, I think you have a winner and I've been very satisfied with the look and functionality of the two programs."

"I am a real estate appraiser and my firm name is Hinckley Appraisal Service. Outside of the typical calculations of add, subtract, multiply and divide, I typically calculate mortgage payments and cash flow estimates. I started to use a handheld to keep dates and phone numbers. I purchased the powerOne Finance module to eliminate having to carry a calculator. It has worked out well for me. I also like the Windows version. It again eliminates another piece of equipment on top of the desk and makes my laptop more efficient."

"I am a Realtor for Coldwell Banker, and I perform many calculations in order to help my clients and for my own property investments. PITI, Mortgage calculations/estimates, Insurance Estimates, Gross Rent Multiplier, Market Cap, Contract calculations (I.e. - % Down, % Financing, Due at close, Total offer price), Return on Investment, Closing cost estimates are a few calculations that I perform regularly. I've been using handheld computers for about 10 years to increase my productivity, but I have always wanted to be able to perform (AND SAVE) calculations on the go. i.e. if I'm working with a specific client or a building I would like to be able to save the template that I am working on for future reference instead of having to constantly redo it. powerOne CRE with the Windows desktop version has solved this problem by offering a convenient way to save calculations between my handheld and desktop computers. Another plus is that Infinity Softworks has made this product really easy to use. I never have enough time, and many software products are too complicated to learn to use effectively in my work. Infinity Softworks has done a great job of offering advanced functions while keeping it really simple at the same time."
