1 - IDX Integration Out of the Box
When you employ separate IDX and CRM services that operate in isolation, they can't exchange information, thereby restricting the CRM's functionalities and its overall assistance. Our integrated IDX and CRM service functions as a unified solution, unlocking exceptional capabilities that enhance your productivity and maximize opportunities. The current benefits are already impressive, and we have numerous exciting plans for the future. Here's a glimpse of what's achievable now:
Sharper Automated Email Campaigns
Our automated email campaigns continuously guide your leads towards closing by offering tailored listing recommendations based on their IDX property search and viewing behavior, ensuring relevance every step of the way.
Lead Scoring & Ranking
Information gathered from your leads' IDX search behavior fuels algorithms that assess and rate your leads, displaying the probability of each lead's interest on a scale. This data-driven insight serves as an additional tool, aiding you in effectively prioritizing your time and working more productively.
2 - Choose Between an IDX Website or Plugin
You have options with our CRM integrated with IDX. Either integrate it into your existing website or opt for a ready-to-use website that comes with all the essentials. We'll customize and launch your new real estate website within just a couple of weeks!
3 - Automated Marketing
Many agents and brokers struggle with following up on leads, leading to missed opportunities, as studies reveal. Marketing automation is the solution, not only for lead follow-up but also for managing other engagement campaigns such as open house follow-ups, referrals, and more.
You can rest easy knowing that each new lead gets instant engagement through personalized email content, aiding them in their property search. Best part? No effort needed! Simply activate our pre-designed follow-up campaigns for buyers and sellers.
Smart Content
Stand out from the typical generic drip email campaigns commonly used by agents, your follow-up campaigns will set you apart by providing tailored listing suggestions and market statistics. These recommendations are based on your lead's IDX property searches and viewing patterns. Your leads might believe you're burning the midnight oil to craft personalized emails with such fantastic custom content, but in reality, you're out there excelling at what you do best—closing clients.
Retain Ownership of Your Leads
Your campaigns create compelling emails with striking visuals that direct to market stats and listings on your site. This strategy aims to retain your leads on your platform, steering them away from larger search sites and your competitors.
Below are examples showcasing Marketing Automation in action:
Once our IDX property search and lead capture successfully convert your site visitors into registered leads, they'll receive tailored follow-up emails and be enrolled in a relevant drip email campaign that aligns with their search preferences or the source of their interest.

7 - Tasks & Calendar Sync
Tasks play a vital role in bringing order to what might seem like chaos in the absence of a CRM. Managing appointments, callbacks, emails, and daily tasks can become quite challenging without the right tools. Successful agents excel because they are organized, save time, and capitalize on every opportunity through preparation and consistent follow-up. If you're not keeping tabs on the next steps for each contact in your list, you might not be maximizing your leads effectively.
When used in conjunction with your To-Do list, Tasks become a crucial tool for monitoring everything necessary to close deals and expand your business. They're so crucial that we offer an option to sync them with Google, Outlook, or Yahoo calendars. By syncing calendars, Tasks, and your To-Do list, you can swiftly become a master of time management.

Consistently creating custom tailored content is essential for enhancing your SEO, drawing in new prospects, and expanding your influence. Yet, many agents struggle to find time for writing articles. Recognizing this challenge, we take it off your plate by publishing monthly blog articles for you when you're on our IDX + CRM account plan (our Agent CRM plan featuring a hosted website). Discover the significance of content marketing and its impact.
Social Media Content
Our custom content is ideal for regularly sharing across your social media platforms. By sharing links to your blog articles, you'll engage an audience that will visit your site, enhance your SEO, and gradually increase traffic to your website.
