CRM for real estate agencies: manage deals and clients from one dashboard

Real estate agency problems without CRM

An agency grows, but management stays at notebook level. Calls come in to multiple phones, one agent takes a call, the second doesn't know the third already showed the apartment to this client. Contracts live in folders on a computer, no one remembers where negotiations stand. Result: duplicate work, lost deals, agent conflicts, clients go to competitors.

• Lost contacts - client calls, you write the number on a napkin, later can't find it
• No negotiation history - unclear why a client said no, when to call back, at what price
• Duplicate effort - two agents book the same apartment at the same time with the same client
• Missed callbacks - phone rings, you promise a callback, then forget in the rush
• Uncontrolled discounts - agent gives away margin without director approval, agency revenue drops
• Scaling problems - as the team grows, information chaos increases and data gets lost
• No reporting - hard to track deals in progress, average commission, top performers
• Website integration - leads come via email, you manually copy them into a spreadsheet

What we build

A CRM for realtors unifies client management, deal pipeline, and property listings in one interface. Each agent sees their active clients, deal status, scheduled showings. A manager sees the entire agency at once, can reassign a client or property between team members. The system auto-calculates commissions, reminds agents to call back, and generates deal reports.

• Client card - name, contacts, call history, chats, meetings, interested properties, deal status
• Deal management - sales funnel from first contact to contract signing, stages customized to your process
• Property catalog - upload listings with photos, description, price, filter by type (apartment, house, office, commercial)
• Calendar and meetings - sync with Google Calendar or Outlook; reminders for showings and meetings
• Notification system - SMS and push reminders to clients about showing time, reminders to agents
• PBX integration - call recording, auto-logging of incoming calls, call queue distribution
• Commission management - auto-calculate agent pay under different schemes, salary reports, accounting sync
• Document export - contract and act templates auto-populated with client data, one-click PDF download
• Mobile app - agent at a showing can open the property, show photos, discuss neighbourhood and amenities
• Website and chat integration - new leads auto-create a contact and deal in CRM

Typical CRM use cases

A real estate CRM must cover all stages of a client's lifecycle - from first call to contract signing and post-sale service. Typical scenarios differ for different property types and buyer segments.

• Retail buyer workflow - client calls the agency, agent creates deal, schedules showing, presents 2-3 options, negotiates terms, prepares contract
• Corporate client (office or commercial) - long deal cycle, multiple meetings, client leadership approvals, extended negotiations
• Investor relations - track property portfolio, analyze ROI, alerts on market price changes
• Seasonal peaks - early and year-end see massive client surges, CRM distributes work among agents
• New property launches - add building to system, mass campaign, track interest levels
• Post-sale management - track clients after sale, rental services, refinancing offers
