Product Review – Quicksilver Real Estate Solutions

Posted on May 24, 2013 by Daniel Beer

I spent a few hours yesterday going through an in depth demo of the Quicksilver Real Estate Solutions platform.  I thought the GEB community would like to hear my thoughts in case anyone here is considering them for their web platform.
