What is a real estate CRM software?
Real estate CRM software is a system that helps manage relationships between buyers, sellers, agents, brokers, developers, and financial institutions and caters to the multiple requirements of real estate agents and real estate firms. From managing incoming requests to preparing price quotes, from selling commercial real-estate to property management, the real estate CRM system takes care of the end-to-end process management for real estate agencies.
How is CRM important for realtors?
Real estate is all about building trust, and it's no surprise that 82% of new property sales are referrals from either existing contacts, previous clients, family, friends, or relatives. Moreover, when it comes to real estate businesses, selling or buying is a long process, with many follow-ups and re-negotiations. In such scenarios, implementing a real estate CRM software gives realtors an efficient way to manage contacts, schedule tasks, monitor their pipelines, and stay organized to build successful relationships and close deals.

Key features of real estate CRM software
Manage leads and track their history
Generate leads from multiple sources like social media, offline campaigns, business cards, online campaigns and track their stages until they become an opportunity. Zoho CRM's lead scoring lets you see which prospects your team needs to focus on. Once an inquiry enters your pipeline, you can set up automated email responses to nurture them and drive engagement.
Boost productivity with
powerful automation
Automatically assign leads to sales reps using predefined workflow rules based on territory, industry, potential deal size, or even in round robin fashion. Every time a lead enters your CRM pipeline, you can notify the assigned sales rep and assign tasks and reminders to followup. Automate your follow up emails, Zoho CRM field updates, and notifications to give your sales reps time to close more deals.
