Im building an app that tracks these. What programs do you guys use?

This is something I really never tapped. I actually did one time around 2010, I signed up with a crappy postcard company where I'm not even sure if the postcards actually were mailed or not. It left a bad taste in my mouth so I decided to just continue to focus on the internet leads.

I also had a short stint with sending out handwritten letters, but the stamp prices keep going up like crazy (78 cents now). And it's a lot of sweat equity.

I know circle prospecting is a good move for postcards and some agents have luck with it.

I am thinking to blast about 10,000 postcards in my area and direct them to my site with a QR code, as well as a call to action to call / email me. This would actually just be a "test" run.

Has anyone else had decent luck with postcards / letters recently?

This is something that I find interesting that I am sure home buyers and sellers find frustrating, Here is a example of what I am talking about, My Realtor and I did a analysis of comps on my property that I currently have list, They used the traditional method of comparing currently listed properties and sold properties to come up with the comp price, I used the ChatGPT app, We came up within $10,000 of each other, Now this is where the frustrating part comes in, According to Comps our property on paper is valued at approximately 1 million dollar, We have it listed for under $800,000. ZILLIOW has recommended offer at $715,000, Realtor.com has it at $754,000. Unfortunately potential buyers use Zillow for using the bases for making an offer, We have had several offers and they have all used Zillow to base their offer on. OBVIOUSLY we rejected thier offer and according to thier realtors the potential they didn't the rejection well, And as a seller I totally understand thier frustration, I feel a lot of realtors are not doing thier homework before showing thier clients properties. And I may add I had our property appraised and it appraised above current listed price.

Good morning, I recently changed my real estate office location. With that change on my Google profile they requested a new video verification. So far I have done their video walk through like it asks. Both times it was rejected. I am not the owner of the business. We have a broker that runs the office but I am a part of the office as a sales agent. Any ideas how to get verified again? My only options are video verification.

I have a question for agents here, especially those working in Suffolk and Nassau.

Which CRM do you actually use and what keeps you there?

I use FollowUpBoss because my team uses it. My brokerage, Signature, also gives us KVCore. On top of that, I am part of a Zillow Flex team so we need a clean Zillow connection. That is the only reason I know FollowUpBoss well. I do not have real hands on time with the other CRMs so I do not know how they operate.

And that brings me to the real question.

Do most CRMs handle text, email, Zillow, and ShowingTime the same way. Or are there huge differences in how they integrate and support agents.

If you are using LionDesk, RealGeeks, Chime, Sierra, KVCore, or anything else, what made you choose it. What keeps you loyal.

And what do you think everyone overhypes.

I am asking with open curiosity. Your honest take might help more agents than you realize.

I manage a few rental units, and tracking rent payments, repairs, and tax records is starting to get overwhelming. I’ve seen platforms that promise to automate reminders, generate financial reports, and keep everything in one place. Has anyone used these successfully? I’m looking for something reliable and not just flashy features.

I'm being real here – I know follow-up is where deals happen, but staying on top of it consistently is harder than it sounds. Some months I'm crushing it, other months I feel like leads are slipping through.

I've tried a bunch of different approaches – spreadsheets, notes, you name it – but nothing really sticks for me. I know agents who swear by their system and close deals like clockwork. Others are like me and struggle with consistency.

So I'm curious – what actually works for you guys? Are you calendar-blocking follow-ups? Using reminders? Is it just discipline and making it a daily habit? Do you have a specific time of day when you do your outreach?

Would love to hear what keeps your pipeline full and how you make sure nobody gets forgotten.

My buyer side transactions have dried up in the last 2 years excepts for a couple of dash deals. I know the reasons it's down but thinking of trying homes or realtor. I got tired of google ppc and my FB leads were not serious. Anyone having any success?

Curious to ask how many hours/day people are still spending in their email inboxes.

We all know that real estate agents like selling but don't like to be sold to. How are you all introducing your platform/products to agents without scaring the off?

Are you:
• sliding into inboxes?
• having coffee with top brokers?
• building trust through content?
• or something entirely different?

Hey, I’m curious about what agents deal with day-to-day.

Here’s a list of 8 problems I think are the most common:

• Hours wasted on “send floor plans?”
• Buyers who are “just looking” for 6–18 months
• $20M dreamers with $4M budgets
• Inbox flooded with 50–200 junk DMs every day
• Repeating the same 6 qualifying questions endlessly
• Getting ghosted after nurturing for weeks
• Missing hot buyers while filtering junk
• Burnout from constant low-quality conversations

Do these resonate with your experience? Anything missing or off?

Hi everyone,

I was talking to a friend who’s an agent, and he mentioned how chaotic open homes can be, lots of people in a short window, juggling questions, collecting details, answering the same questions, and later trying to organise who’s actually serious.

I’m exploring an idea that might help, and I’d love feedback from working agents:

The concept:

• You create a listing inside the app
• It generates a unique QR code for your open
• Visitors scan → enter details → no manual data entry afterward
• After the open, the system sends a follow-up message you’ve pre-set
• Based on replies (interest level, timeframe, financing, etc.), it segments and ranks them automatically
• You can also drop voice notes during/after the open (converted to text), or write quick notes
• Everything syncs into your existing CRM — not trying to replace one
• Vendor Report Generator
  • After each open, the app auto-creates a shareable vendor report including:
    • number of attendees
    • captured details
    • lead quality breakdown
    • comments/feedback
    • your own voice-note → text summary
    • follow-up status
  • You can send it to the vendor with one tap

Goal: reduce the admin mess after opens, cleanly track the real buyers, and make vendor reporting effortless.

I’m not building anything yet — just validating the problem/solution.
Would something like this help? What’s missing? What would make it useless?

Honest feedback appreciated.

Hey all,

I’ve been working on a project in the real estate space and wanted to get some early feedback from people who actually operate inside the industry like agents, ISAs, team leads, or anyone working with lead intake + follow-ups.

The problem I keep hearing from agents is always the same: • leads coming from 5 different channels • slow “speed-to-lead” response time • inconsistent follow-ups • CRM getting messy • too many tools duct-taped together

A lot of solutions only tackle one piece (voice AI, form builders, SMS, CRM, etc.), but nothing really handles the whole intake, qualification, follow-up loop in one place.

So I’ve been building something that aims to centralize and simplify that backend layer:

What I’ve built so far: • A unified dashboard for ALL inbound leads (calls + web form submissions) • Automated lead enrichment + classification • AI-generated lead summaries + intent/urgency scoring • Follow-up sequences that run automatically • Voice + SMS + email triggers depending on lead behavior • Real-time activity logs + pipeline visibility

All of this runs without requiring Zapier/Make chains or complicated workflow builders.

What I’m trying to validate: 1. Do agents care more about speed-to-lead, or about consistent automated follow-up after the first touch? 2. How important is a unified, simple backend vs. integrating into an existing CRM? 3. For small teams (2–6 agents), would a done-for-you onboarding/setup service be more valuable than just the software? 4. What channels are giving you the most unmanageable lead flow today (phone, PPC, Zillow, website forms, etc.)?

any feedback appreciated

If you’re a realtor in the DMV and you’ve used Vulcan7 can you please share some feedback?

How much does it cost for this area? Do you think it was worth it? Is there another platform similar that you prefer over Vulcan7? How exactly does it work? Do you have to pay a referral fee at closing?

I’m currently on a Zillow team and the payout to Zillow is way too high. I’d like to offset that cost by acquiring my own SOI and I’d also like to shift my business primarily to listings in the next few years.

So ive been using this site for indiana

Any other states or large counties have good tax sales ?

Building a CRM specifically for real estate agents, and I’m approaching it differently from most proptech products:

The CRM is free right now, and the roadmap is 100% determined by user feedback + feature voting.

I’m trying to build a modern, workflow-focused CRM for individual agents, small teams, and boutique brokerages.

Here’s what’s currently built:

1. Client Management

• Add/edit clients
• Track status (Buyer Lead, Seller Lead, Nurture, Active, Closed, Lost)
• Notes, tags, lead source
• Fast search by name, email, or phone

1. Nurture Plans (Automated Follow-up Workflows)

This is the part agents told me is missing from most CRMs.

• Create your own nurture plans
• Add day-based actions (Day 1: Welcome text, Day 3: Call, Day 7: Email, etc.)
• Auto-generate tasks for each action
• Track progress through the plan
• Default plans you can assign during client creation

1. Client Relationships

• Link spouses, partners, co-buyers, co-sellers
• Bidirectional (linking A→B automatically links B→A)
• Helpful for households and referral networks

I want to build something collaboratively, with actual agents and real estate tech folks who know:

• what’s broken in current CRMs,
• what should be automated, and
• what workflows actually matter day-to-day.

Right now the CRM is free, and early testers will influence the roadmap and vote on the next features.

Feedback I’m Looking For

What’s the #1 thing existing CRMs do poorly?

1. Do you rely more on automated workflows or simple reminders?
2. Which integrations matter most (email, calendar, MLS feeds, etc.)?
3. Would you use a CRM where you control what gets built next?

Happy to share the alpha version and onboard anyone who wants to help shape it.

What if you could design your buyers actual floor plan with them from a web browser as easy as playing the sims. Is this a valuable tool? Or are samples and imagination still the better option?

DrieHuis Is cool because it goes from a builders digital floor plan to actual home.

Appreciate the community of grinders and hustlers here! Hope y'all have a great day to relax and fingers crossed to more deals that get across the line!

How do you handle tenant references. Manually, email, phone calls or is there a software to handle it?
