Benefits of CRM for real estate agents

Real estate CRM software allows real estate agents not to waste time searching for necessary information in numerous spreadsheets or emails, as it is all stored in one place. This software helps capture data on new real estate leads, manage the property sales pipeline, automate mundane tasks (data input, follow-up emails, etc.), and streamline transactions. According to the survey, 96.2% of brokerages and 94.6% of real estate agents claimed that using CRM systems increased their productivity. Here are some of the key CRM features real estate agents and brokers are looking for:

• 360-degree view of prospects, leads, and customers (buying history, communication, email trails, etc.)
• Real estate lead management.
• Contract and transaction management.
• Sales pipeline management.
• Real estate reporting, etc.
