Real Estate Professionals Boost Sales with CRM
Real estate professionals are known for working long hours, having tons of paperwork, and driving all around the country. The real estate way of doing business has been changed with the increased availability of technology. Gone are the days of faxing, mailing postcards, and cold calling. Real estate offices have moved to using Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software to complete part of their workload, reduce costs, and make more connections between people and properties.
CRM software impacts several aspects of the real estate business, such as customer service, marketing, and sales. It organizes and manages current and future customer interactions and requests in one location instead of using multiple software programs for different features. Customers can relay their needs quickly without face to face meetings or phone calls but still receive personal customer service. Technology devices give real estate professionals instant access to new information wherever they are and whatever time it may be because the system operates 24 hours day. As noted by Eilene Zimmerman in The New York Times, “CRM software enables businesses to communicate quickly and frequently.”
Real estate offices have reduced marketing costs and have turned to CRM software to automatically notify customers of new properties. When the information reaches the customer before the general public finds the information, it increases the possibility of making appointments to view the property and making the sale easier than ever. The Certified Commercial Investment Member Institute (CCIM), a recognized expert in the commercial and investment real estate industry, states that “A CRM system can improve a company’s efficiency.” By simplifying and streamlining the workflow, real estate offices reduce operation costs and the need for additional staff.
In a recent Active Rain study, real estate agents earning over $100,000 a year were compared to agents earning less than $35,000 a year. The study revealed that the more successful agents “invested 6 times as much in technology, twice as many used a CRM, and they were aggressive in using social media.” The results suggest that using CRM technology is connecting people with properties more quickly than the historical manual business process, thus improving sales. According to Gary Hall, founder of Real Estate Automation, Consultation, and Training (RE-ACT LLC) and RealEstate-AgentTools, “When asked what the reasons for my success were, I always cited CRM as the biggest part of it.”
