Quick answer
- A real estate CRM should track lead source, project interest, budget, visit status, and next follow-up.
- Site visits need reminders before and after the visit, not only a one-time call.
- Portal, ad, website, and WhatsApp leads should be visible in the same pipeline.
The real estate follow-up problem
Real estate enquiries often come from many places: Facebook, Google, Magicbricks, Housing, 99acres, Justdial, website forms, referrals, and WhatsApp. Without a CRM, teams lose context quickly.
- A lead asks about one project today and another project next week.
- The site visit is planned, but no reminder is set for the sales person.
- The manager cannot see which portal is producing serious buyers.
- Follow-up notes stay in personal phones instead of the company system.
Recommended site visit workflow
A good real estate CRM workflow follows the buyer from enquiry to visit to booking conversation.
- Capture the enquiry with project, budget, location, lead source, and phone number.
- Assign the lead to a sales person based on project, city, or campaign.
- Log the first call and send a WhatsApp message with the project details.
- Set the site visit date, time, executive, and visit reminder.
- After the visit, update the status and set the next follow-up for booking, negotiation, or nurture.
What to track in reports
Real estate reporting should separate raw enquiry volume from actual buyer movement.
- New enquiries by source, campaign, and project.
- Contacted, qualified, site visit scheduled, site visit done, booking discussion, and lost status.
- Pending follow-ups by sales person.
- Lead aging so old unworked leads are visible.
- Source quality by visit and booking conversation, not just lead count.

FAQ
Can a CRM help increase real estate site visits?
A CRM cannot create demand by itself, but it can reduce missed follow-ups and help sales teams respond faster to interested buyers.
Which sources should real estate teams track?
Teams should track Facebook, Google, website, WhatsApp, Magicbricks, Housing, 99acres, Justdial, referrals, and offline campaigns where applicable.
Should site visits be a separate CRM stage?
Yes. Site visit scheduled and site visit done should usually be separate stages because both need different follow-up actions.
