Part of real estate lead follow-up

Real estate lead management

Lead management is the full lifecycle — capture, route, follow up, qualify, and close — not just a spreadsheet of names.

Lead sources to track

Tag every lead: Zillow, Realtor.com, open house, referral, sphere, paid social, sign call. Conversion by source tells you where to spend ISA time. Without tags, brokers guess which channels work.

Stages that match your business

Typical buyer path: new → contacted → appointment → showing → offer → under contract. Sellers differ. Keep stages few enough that agents actually update them. FlowForce pipelines support buyer, seller, and rental tracks with templates.

Connect management to follow-up

A lead in “new” with no activity is a management failure, not a marketing failure. Pair stages with cadences and tasks. The lead follow-up hub covers execution; routing guide covers assignment.

Team roles

ISAs qualify and book. Agents show and negotiate. Transaction coordinators handle contract — often outside the sales CRM. Clarify who owns each stage so leads do not stall between handoffs.
