See What Sets the iHomefinder ONE’s CRM Apart from the Rest

There is a lot of variation within the real estate industry, and how one agent or brokerage closes a sale may be very different from another. This can make it difficult for some real estate professionals to find a CRM that can do everything they need.

Does the company work with residential or commercial real estate? Do you focus on sales or rentals? Condos or developments? Does the agent team sell luxury homes or stick with more affordable options?

All of these elements can change what an agent needs in a CRM feature set.

Why Do Real Estate Agents Need a CRM?

Real estate can be a challenging business – even in the best of times. On any given day, you may have to deal with online and social media promotions, verify closing documents, meet with some appraisers, coordinate with contractors, answer inquiries, vet buyers and much, much more.

Where do you even start when there’s so much to do?

Over the years, we’ve heard from agents all around the country, and they’ve talked to us about several issues that they want to address with a CRM. The most common things we hear include:

1. “I have a unique process for managing sellers that all my agents need to understand and follow.”

Team leads want a well-defined process that all their agents can learn and implement on every transaction. They need an effective way to determine whether or not people are actually following this process, and they need to keep agents on track with these tried-and-true processes.

2. “I really don’t want any clients to see for-sale properties on my site that have already sold.”

When potential clients arrive on a website and find an outdated listing, they may automatically assume that there are many more just like it and start looking at other “more up-to-date” websites. This is simply something that shouldn’t happen, which is why agents need listings that are updated from the MLS data sources within a couple hours (if not faster).

3. “I have hundreds of potential clients but no time to reach them all.”

This may sound like a great problem to have, but the truth is it could be detrimental if your potential customers begin to feel neglected. It’s critical that you reach out to all these clients through automated follow-ups to provide more information and start the conversation.
