What key features should estate agents look for in their CRM software?

Rezi Best Estate Agent Software
With a wide variety of estate agency software on the market nowadays, it's important to know what key features to look for in order to separate the best of the bunch. We recommend ensuring that your CRM provides:

A user-friendly dashboard

Don't waste time trying to navigate a complicated workspace, choose a CRM with a built-in easy-to-use dashboard that the whole team can get on board with. A simple dashboard allows you to easily access and manage communications, applicant queries, landlord information and more from one platform.

Fully customisable workflows that allow you to automate your business 

Say goodbye to manually entering information across multiple platforms - by integrating your full-featured CRM with automation add-ons, your system does the hard work for you. Seamlessly carry out your contact management, update documents and marketing materials from a single ​​agent software.

Live diary and email sync

Ensure the whole team stays up-to-date by selecting a CRM with real-time sync. As more and more agents have adapted to working remotely, staying in sync with one another's schedules is vital. Efficiently organise team meetings, agent schedules, tenant viewings, and customer appointments in one place.

Integration with third-party applications

Maximise your agency by selecting a CRM software that can easily integrate with third-party applications such as What3words, View My Chain and GOTO Group. This will make your real estate agency stand out from the rest. For example, integrating with What3words will allow your clients to find your properties easily, and View My Chain helps agencies to deliver faster completions without the need for additional input from a conveyancer. You can view our full partners and integrations list in its entirety here.

API-led management software

Real estate management software that offers a large number of integration partners are incredibly sought after by estate agents. An open-API takes these possibilities to integrate one step further - if you cannot find a proptech integration that works for your business among their pre-existing partners, you can onboard your existing infrastructure seamlessly.

Advertise on third-party platforms

With just one click, you can advertise your property portfolio across multiple platforms including Rightmove, Zoopla, OnTheMarket and other leading names in the property industry. It should be no secret to agents that advertising your properties on external sites can maximise your reach. Increase your sales by opting for a fully automated CRM now!

Intelligent property matching

An essential part of the pre-tenancy process, intelligent property matching allows agents to find the perfect tenant-property pairing. This makes for happy tenants, reliable rent and ensures that property management is as easy as can be.

Instant access to documents and data wherever you are

With the rise in home working since the pandemic, it's never been more important to have remote access to data. By opting for cloud-based estate agent software over a solution that is exclusively on-premise, agents can access their files in the office, at home or on the go by having their data stored securely over the internet. There's also no need to carry around a heavy laptop all day - cloud-based systems come mobile-friendly. With cloud-based estate agent software, reliability and accessibility are built-in.

Efficient data migration when you come on board

In such a highly competitive, fast-paced industry, nobody wants to waste valuable time shutting down the office while the systems update. By selecting a reliable, high-quality CRM, you can avoid unnecessary losses, protect your in-house data history and keep closing on properties - not your offices.

The perfect cloud-based estate agency software

Luckily, you don't have to look far to find an estate agency software with all these features built-in - here at Dezrez, we provide them all (and more!) with our industry-leading management software Rezi. 

Rezi offers a highly reliable, constantly evolving and efficient estate agency CRM, so all its users have a positive and comfortable experience – from estate agents to landlords and home buyers.

We provide various estate agent software packages at Dezrez – Rezi Pro Lite, Pro, Premium, Enterprise and even Property Management - meaning you can select the package that is most suited to your agency's needs.

How can your business benefit from using estate agency software?

As we're sure you can already tell, the benefits of using estate agency software are endless. Some key benefits include:

High-quality customer experience 

As agents can effectively manage multiple clients, properties and processes at once using automation to streamline their workload, clients benefit from an improved experience. Using a software system to streamline contact management from applicant to tenant, landlord to buyers, agents can provide comprehensive service across their portfolios and ensure complete GDPR compliance.

Enhanced communication

Customer service and communication can make or break an estate agency, so building a rapport between agents and clients is key. Poor communication from an estate agent is one of the biggest reasons why clients take their business elsewhere. It also tarnishes your agency's reputation. Avoid negative reviews by investing in a CRM to enhance communications, manage ad-hoc enquiries and ensure contact details for your portfolio accessible.

Remote working from any device

Enable agents to work on-the-go using cloud-based CRM systems. Remote working isn't going out of fashion anytime soon - install instant reliability with software that allows your agents to keep on top of essential admin whilst out and about. Cloud-based software is particularly useful when agents are on location with viewings and valuations, as they can pull up pricing, contact details, EPC ratings and more from mobile devices. 

Adding our optional Rezi Anytime functionality to your agent software product gives clients 24/7 access to agents and documents, improving efficiency and experience. 

You can save time and effort 

Automate your daily administrative jobs using workflows and no longer waste hours typing the same information into multiple platforms - let your CRM take that burden off your shoulders. Administrative tasks are often mundane and repetitive (and therefore easy to automate) so save time and effort by using clever, customisable ‘Zapier workflows’ to take care of daily administrative jobs. 

At Dezrez, our industry-leading Rezi software offers all of these key benefits and more

We also provide a feature called Rezi Meet which gives you the option of remote video calling between agents and clients built-in to your CRM. This could prove vital with the ever-changing Covid-19 restrictions and ensures that you're catering to a whole demographic of customers for whom video interactions are their preferred method of contact. 

You even have the option to collaborate with our partner Dezrezlegal which provides conveyancing services.

Aspen Residential: “Extremely accurate and useable data. Through the onboarding, we were provided with instructions each step of the way and this informed us on exactly what to do to make our data so accurate. The training they provided for us was excellent and enabled us to start using the system immediately.” 

Country Properties: "We joined Dezrez because as time moves on, things change and the previous software providers could not offer the cross-office integration and ’real time’ functionality that Dezrez provides.
