Pain points

  • Portal leads sit in email while you are in showings — no automatic first touch
  • Notes live in your phone; the team cannot see activity if you scale
  • You pay for a CRM but still text from your personal number
  • Long-cycle buyers need nurture, but task lists do not run themselves
  • Open-house sign-ins never make it into a pipeline with next steps

Must-have features

  • Speed-to-lead when a new inquiry arrives (Zillow, Realtor.com, site form)
  • Pipelines for buyer, seller, and rental with clear stages
  • SMS and email on the same timeline as calls
  • Templates for open house, listing launch, and 90-day nurture
  • Mobile-friendly access for field work between appointments

How FlowForce fits

  • Cadences fire on new leads so the first SMS or email goes out in minutes
  • Gmail or Outlook sync logs replies on the record — no copy-paste
  • Ask Flow drafts follow-ups from showing notes and inquiry history
  • Listing and buyer templates you can fork from the template library
  • Free seat for solo agents; Pro when you add an ISA or assistant

Brokerages and teams need more than contact storage — they need speed-to-lead, nurture, and visibility across agents and ISAs.

CRM for real estate brokerages

Brokerage leaders need visibility, consistent follow-up, and a stack agents will actually use — not another shelfware license.
