Dependable CRM Development Partner for a Growing Real Estate Business

Luke Nguyen / Founder & CEO | Aug 29, 2026

Guanaco Studio did an excellent job for us. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money.

It has made a real difference to how our team works day to day. If you need a team that communicates well and delivers, they are a good choice.

Project summary

We partnered with Guanaco Studio to migrate our sales team to a new CRM and set up automation. The project was split into milestones, with a working build shared at the end of each one. The engagement ran for about 6 months.

Professional team that made a complex project feel manageable

Hannah Edwards / Program Manager | Aug 23, 2026

Our experience with Guanaco Studio was really positive from start to finish. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later.

Feedback from our customers has been very positive so far. We are already discussing the next phase with them.

Project summary

We engaged Guanaco Studio to build an AR product viewer so customers can preview items in their own space. Their team handled planning, development and QA, with our product owner signing off each milestone. We worked together for around 7 months.

Great Experience With Guanaco Studio on Our CRM Development Project

Emily Lloyd / Head of Digital Transformation | Aug 12, 2026

We were very happy with how this project went. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building.

Since launch, everything has been stable and our team has adapted to it quickly. If you need a team that communicates well and delivers, they are a good choice.

They listened, asked the right questions, and delivered

Josh Ngata / Head of Product | Jul 19, 2026

Honestly, this was one of the smoothest projects we have run with an outside team. When we changed our minds on a couple of features halfway through, they handled it without fuss and were clear about the impact on cost and timeline. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark.

Since launch, everything has been stable and our team has adapted to it quickly. Happy to recommend them.
