Some of the most important elements that you need to consider when looking at different CRM tools, and determining which is right for you include:

Factors to consider with CRM software
  • Functionality and scalability: Does the tool have the right applications and the ability to be customised to meet your needs? Will the platform be able to grow with you, and does the CRM integrate with your existing digital architecture?

  • Cost: Is there a clear pricing structure, and what does the licensing or cost include? You need to look at what you need now, and what you expect to need in the future, and ensure that you clearly understand what you are paying for.

  • Training and implementation: Does the CRM offer resources, knowledge bases, and / or specific training that will allow your team to learn and adapt to the program, without slowing down or disrupting business practices. How long will it take to implement the process, and train your team to use the tools? The right tool will have a clear time frame for you to work with.

  • Reporting and Analytics: Your CRM is going to make a lot of data available, and this needs to be in a usable format. The right CRM will allow for visualisations and options to customise functions to your own needs.

Real estate is a highly competitive industry, and you need to be working efficiently, effectively, and with the most resource appropriate strategies. Developing clear processes and boosting sales processes with the right CRM can help you to get ahead, develop your brand, grow your customer base, and ultimately increase your bottom line.
