18.07.25 08:45 AM By Marketing

Real estate businesses juggle multiple projects, properties, site visits, agents, and clients — all at once. Without the right system, things fall through the cracks. That’s where Zoho CRM becomes your project and client command center.

Here’s how to structure your real estate CRM like a pro — from projects to units to site visits.


🧱 1. Create a Custom Module for Projects

Track projects like “Palm Tower,” “Skyline Residences,” etc. Add fields like:

  • Location

  • Type (Residential/Commercial)

  • Launch & Handover Dates

  • Assigned Project Manager

📁 Keeps all project info centralized and easy to filter.


🔢 2. Create a Related Module for Property Units

Link each unit (e.g., Flat 1504, 2BHK, Sea View) to its parent project.

Include:

  • Unit Number

  • Tower/Floor

  • BUA/Selling Price

  • Availability (Available/Blocked/Sold)

  • Facing/View

🔗 Helps your team quickly match buyer requirements with available inventory.


📅 3. Track Site Visits with Custom Visit Records

Log and schedule site visits as activities or in a custom "Site Visit" module:

  • Client name

  • Property shown

  • Date & time

  • Salesperson assigned

  • Outcome/Feedback

📍Eliminates double bookings and improves follow-up accuracy.


📲 4. Use Blueprints for the Booking Process

Define your booking flow:
Inquiry → Site Visit → Token Payment → Document Collection → Final Booking → Handover

🧩 Ensures each agent follows the same process and no step is skipped.


🧑‍🤝‍🧑 5. Assign Roles: Sales, Marketing & Admin

Use profiles to give Sales access to leads and deals, Marketing access to campaigns, and Admin access to reports/settings.

🔐 Keeps data secure and teams focused.


📊 6. Create Dashboards for Real-Time Visibility

Dashboards to track:

  • Units sold vs. available

  • Site visits per week

  • Agent-wise follow-ups

  • Lead source performance

📈 Enables management to monitor progress and performance daily.


🔁 7. Automate Common Tasks

  • Auto-assign new leads

  • Trigger thank-you messages post-visit

  • Notify agent when a unit is blocked

⏱ Save time and reduce manual errors.


🧩 Conclusion

Setting up your CRM the right way helps real estate businesses move faster, stay organized, and deliver a premium client experience.
