Challenges

Where real estate teams lose time and revenue

The problems we see most often before Zoho CRM is in place.

House keys and a model home, real estate deals tracked in Zoho CRM
  1. Portal leads from Property Finder, Bayut and Dubizzle land in different inboxes, and some are never called
  2. Agents keep clients in their own phones, so the company loses them when an agent leaves
  3. No record of which listings were sent, viewed or rejected by each client
  4. Follow-ups after viewings depend on each agent remembering
  5. No clear view of the commission pipeline or which portal brings real deals
  6. Tenancy renewals and resale opportunities are missed

Sales pipeline

Eight stages, each with its own automation

Every stage has a clear owner, a next step and an automation that keeps the deal moving.

1. Lead captured

  • Property Finder, Bayut, Dubizzle, website, Meta ads and WhatsApp
  • Lead created with listing reference and source
  • Duplicate check on phone and email

Automation: Instant WhatsApp reply with the listing details; lead assigned round-robin by area and language.

2. Qualification

  • Buy, rent or off-plan
  • Budget, area, unit type and bedrooms
  • Cash or mortgage, and move-in timeline

Automation: Manager alert if a new lead is not contacted within the target time.

3. Property matching

  • Matching listings shortlisted from the CRM
  • Brochures and floor plans sent on WhatsApp
  • Client feedback recorded on each listing

Automation: New listings that match the requirement sent to the client automatically.

4. Viewing

  • Viewing booked with the agent and owner
  • Check-in at the property on the mobile app
  • Feedback logged straight after the visit

Automation: Confirmation plus reminders 24 hours and 2 hours before the viewing.

5. Offer and negotiation

  • Offer recorded against the listing
  • Counter-offers tracked with dates
  • Next step and date on every deal

Automation: Day 1 WhatsApp follow-up · Day 3 call task · Day 7 email · manager alert if the deal goes quiet.

6. Decision

Won: Form F (MOU) or tenancy contract signed; commission invoice raised in Zoho Books

Lost: Reason recorded: price, property, timing; client kept in a nurture list

Automation: Lost clients re-contacted with new matching listings after 30, 60 and 90 days.

7. Transaction and handover

  • Deposit, developer NOC and mortgage approval tracked
  • Documents stored in Zoho WorkDrive
  • Transfer or Ejari registration completed

Automation: Document requests on WhatsApp, reminder every 2 days until complete.

8. After-sales and renewals

  • Tenancy end and handover dates stored
  • Landlords offered management or resale
  • Referral requests to happy clients

Automation: Tenancy renewal reminders at 90, 60 and 30 days, renewal deal created automatically.
