The challenge

Buyer and seller leads came from listing portals, Facebook lead forms, and the website. Each landed in a different inbox, and agents often replied the next day, after the lead had already spoken with another agent.

Why it was complex

  • Leads scattered across portal emails, ad platforms, and website forms
  • No assignment rules, so leads were claimed unevenly or missed
  • Average first response time around nine hours
  • No nurture for leads not ready to move yet

How we fixed it

  1. Single CRM

    Connected every lead source to HubSpot through native integrations, email parsing, and webhooks.

  2. Round-robin routing

    Assigned leads by area and availability, with SMS alerts and escalation if untouched after 10 minutes.

  3. Instant first touch

    Sent an immediate personalized text and email with the agent's name and a booking link.

  4. Long-term nurture

    Enrolled leads in market update emails until they were ready to talk.
