The Challenge
A mid-sized real estate agency with 45 agents managed 2,500+ monthly leads across residential sales, rentals, and commercial properties. Leads arrived through five different channels, and average response time exceeded four hours—by which point most prospects had already contacted a competitor.
Follow-ups were inconsistent, property listings were manually published to each platform one at a time, and agents had no unified view of the pipeline. Conversion sat at just 12%, and the agency was leaving significant revenue on the table.
Pain Points
❌ 4-hour average lead response time
❌ Only 12% lead-to-client conversion rate
❌ Manual listing across 5+ platforms
❌ No automated follow-up sequences
❌ Zero visibility into agent performance
