Real estate teams automation

automate real estate follow ups with a practical rollout plan for owner-led teams.

A buyer enquires through your site at 8pm. You see it at 9am. They signed with someone else at 8:15pm. Teams that respond within five minutes convert at 3-5x the rate of teams that wait until the next day. And once you do land a deal, there are dozens of milestone deadlines where one missed date can collapse the whole thing.

Common problems

A new lead comes in from Zillow at 9 PM. Your Follow Up Boss routing assigns it, but the agent does not see the notification until morning. By then the lead has already spoken to two other agents.
A transaction hits conditional approval in your CRM but the milestone reminder in Dotloop never fires. The conditions deadline passes and the deal almost falls through.
Your team updates Follow Up Boss after showings but your weekly pipeline report in Google Sheets is manually assembled from three different sources. It is always two days stale.

Automations to prioritize

Instant lead routing and acknowledgment
Zillow and Realtor.com lead events route through Follow Up Boss with an instant SMS acknowledgment and a 15-minute SLA alert if the assigned agent has not responded.
Transaction milestone automation
Dotloop milestone events trigger automated reminder sequences to the agent, client, and transaction coordinator with countdown timelines for each condition deadline.
Pipeline reporting sync
CRM deal stage changes in Follow Up Boss sync to a Google Sheets pipeline report automatically, with daily snapshots and weekly trend summaries for the team lead.
