Is there really a market for real estate based CRM with ai automation?
I'm looking for a frontend and backend system with the ability to also include separate teams and single family rentals
I really need more feedback on this before I pull the trigger, I've seen good reviews and people in other groups saying that it worked really well for them but idk if I just need a little bit more convincing. It's realconnecter.com I think they basically do AI cold calls.
Hi everyone! I’m looking for a tool similar to CubiCasa that I can use to streamline my workflow. Ideally, I want something where I can send a link or invite to a client, they scan their home, and then the dimensions and floor plan (or report) are sent directly to me.
The idea is to get a remote 3D floor plan before visiting the site, which would help me prepare more accurately for remodeling quotes and planning. Is there a tool that allows clients to handle the scan themselves and then automatically sends the results to me? If anyone has experience with this type of setup or knows a tool with these features, I’d love your input! Thanks in advance!

Looking forward to exploring a potential partnership with you!
Just need the api name/names(paid subscription or free anything works fine) . It is required for a project. Prior thanks
We are using Sierra Interactive but are looking at a new platform. Can any advanced users tell how much success they've had ranking a Lofty site organically? Are there limitations to it, assuming basic SEO?
Also, is anyone using them for Google PPC or FB retargeting?
Kind of a hail mary here but Reddit never ceases to amaze me.
Does anyone have any good recommendations on scalable sources to get and display listings, including photos, with the appropriate licenses and permissions.
I’m building an analytics focused listing site which shows current listings with more analytical tools. Most of the people we’ve talked to (Commet1, Listhub) require pretty big starting capital.
Figured I’d ask if there were any sources outside of direct MLS connections that can work with us. Any insight is appreciated. We also have an agent relationship that we can use to get access to the MLS if necessary but would prefer to go through an aggregator so we can scale better later down the road as well as have 1 relationship to maintain vs a relationship for each MLS.
After using a bunch of different skip tracing services, I got tired of the usual routine: forced sign-ups, subscriptions, or the dreaded “free trial” gimmicks. As a software engineer, I figured I could team up with a few friends and create something better. It took time, but we’re happy with the results.
Short explainer for those who don’t know what the heck skip tracing is: Skip tracing is a tool for finding contact info like phone numbers and emails, often used in real estate to reach property owners when basic searches fall short.
Our platform, Skip Trace Depot, is straightforward and to the point. When you hit the main page, you can simply upload your list, map the fields, and start skip tracing—no strings attached.
One note: make sure to read the instructions for best results.
And please, if you give it a try, let us know what you think! Your feedback would be incredibly valuable in helping us make the platform even better.
Hey Everyone! Have seen lots of posts about property data APIs that are not ridiculously expensive. My co worker and I spent our free time on weekends writing a program that collects data from all the parcels in the US. We are software engineers in big tech but also real estate investors on the side. We collected around 180 million parcels with 100 to 200 attribute each depending on the county.
We just pushed out V1 of the API. Since there is only a couple of us, our overhead is pretty low, so we are trying to make it as accessible as possible to any budget. If you are interested in just looking up properties, you can use the platform to do a property search. I would love to hear everyones thoughts! If you go through your allotment on the free tier, message me and I can shoot you a promo code!
[Edit] - For some reason my previous post was taken down, so I removed my links - here is my 2nd attempt at wording this!
I wanted to share some insights from developing AI prompts for real estate workflows, and hear what's working for others.
Some context: I'm a prompt engineer professionally, and my wife is an agent who started real estate a few years ago. I noticed her struggling with certain tasks, and I've been trying to help her automate the time-consuming parts of her business.
After a few months of testing, we found that certain prompts shaved off hours on a lot of her week, to name a few:
- Property descriptions that actually highlight what buyers care about
- Market analysis reports/emails that used to take hours
- Personalized client communications
- Social media content creation
- Neighborhood guides and market updates
Since my wife has been basically copy/pasting these prompts directly into ChatGPT (or at times Claude) to get emails/writing social media posts for SOI/etc., she's redirecting those saved hours into revenue-generating activities - responding to leads while they're hot, engaging her SOI instead of zombie posting, and focusing on relationships instead of admin work.
I've documented and shared a few of our most successful prompts online, but I'd love to learn from this community:
- What workflows are you successfully automating?
- Which tasks still eat up too much of your time?
- For those using AI tools, what unexpected challenges have you hit?
Happy to share specific examples of prompts/results in the comments. It would be fantastic to build a resource that helps everyone in the community save hours from repetitive tasks!
Real Estate Brokers/Agents: What's broken about your current lead management system?
I'm building an automated lead management system that:
- Responds to new leads instantly - 24/7
- Handles follow-up sequences automatically
- Routes leads to the right agents based on your rules
- Ensures no leads fall through the cracks
Currently doing discovery - would love to hear your biggest pain points with current solutions. What's missing from your existing process? What drives you crazy about managing leads?
(Looking for beta testers - happy to offer significant discounts for early adopters willing to provide feedback)
Hi all, I need to crowdsource some advice/feedback on proptech and virtual staging.
Now that realtors aren’t guaranteed a set commission, would they be more willing to adopt new tech in order to stand out, especially with respect to virtual staging? Would love your thoughts!
I've wrestled with where I land on this idea over the past year, and I’m not here to promote anything or push an agenda. This is just my take on where things seem to be heading.
Preface - few likely reactions—yes, I understand the lawsuits around MLS data usage and the debates about the value of human realtors. Let me be clear: I don't think the Realtor role will ever be fully replaced. I also understand how aggressively NAR and MLS protect their data, including suing for web scraping. But here’s the thing: the landscape is about to change dramatically.
The MLS is valuable because agents are the ones updating it, keeping the data current and meaningful. Platforms like Zillow exist because agents maintain and update MLS data daily. The NAR and MLS protect this value by requiring contracts and service agreements, limiting how property data can be used and stifling innovation.
But AI is about to shift this dynamic. Soon, any content on any URL is instantly structured data accessible to developers. This means what was once protected MLS data is accessible to anyone, allowing developers to build new tools and experiences on top of it without any guardrails.
AI won't stop there. It’s going to make software essentially free. Agents and brokerages that are currently spending thousands a month on CRMs and websites will be able to instantly generate the tools they need—at no cost.
Individuals will have personal apps that gather all property data—MLS listings, public records, FSBO, micro-sites—in one place, without any legal bottlenecks. Enforcing data restrictions will become nearly impossible. There would need to be millions of lawsuits to stop this kind of distributed, individualized scraping, and it won't even be clear who's doing it, as these tools will be personal rather than commercial. It is more like looking at photos in your own album rather than signing in to a service.
If the MLS loses its control over the industry, fewer agents may feel compelled to pay dues to NAR. I see this leading to the NAR becoming largely irrelevant, with the MLS shrinking in influence. And when this happens the policies and protocols than NAR enforces will start to lose their hold.
The upside? A more open market where new compensation models, fees, and pricing options emerge for both consumers and professionals. The role of the Realtor will persist, but it will evolve, and there will likely be fewer Realtors overall. The Realtors who thrive will be the once embracing AI and new paradigms. Because the customers will prefer and demand them.
TL;DR: I believe AI will fundamentally change how listing data is accessed and used, transforming the entire real estate industry. The Realtor’s role will still be here, but it will adapt to a new reality with far fewer professionals in the field.
Do you currently buy leads and if so at what price are good quality leads, for example what is a lead that reaches out to you directly about a property worth vs one looking to sell a property?
We've been toying with the idea of adding a plan that is pay-per-lead for a fully IDX integrated website rather than a monthly or yearly fee.
What do you think of such a plan?
With the recent NAR settlement, I am thinking about building a marketplace for home buyers/seller and realtors to connect more directly and easily.
The home buyers/sellers can post their requests for real estate services on the platform. These requests will be a more reliable source of leads comparing to what Zillow (or any other lead generation platform) provides. They can request for the full service or a la carte. The realtors can bid on these requests openly on the platform. The home buyers/sellers will determine which realtor to choose based on the bid (e.g. realtor review, commission rate, etc.).
To help realtors do their jobs more easily, this platform will also provide AI-powered productivity tools such as document preparation, scheduling and etc.
I am seriously considering building this but would love to hear your thoughts.
How are you all handling physical mail? Are you using a specific service for that?
I’m going to invest in advertising. What do you guys think is the best source to get leads? Direct Mail or Facebook ads, any other sources? Thanks guys!
Does anyone have a good real estate CRM recommendation? I work in commercial RE at Marcus & Millichap and they only give us Salesforce that sucks…
I'm building a platform that will be showcasing current listings (similar to Zillow). I want to make sure that the images I display with the properties are appropriately licensed for usage and not run into any issues there. What is the best way to go about it? Is there a tool that provides licensed listing photos with some sort of commercial usage license? Any information is helpful!
Who has best leads and for those that collect on closing who has lowest set up fees?
Does anyone that has a RealGeeks website have a similar experience? In the past all blog posts were indexed by google. Lately none of my blog posts have been indexed and it's really hurting my SEO.
After building Room AI and seeing how real estate agents use it, I'm curious what features you wish existed in these types of AI interior design tools? What would make them more practical for daily real estate work?
Also interested in hearing how you're using AI in other parts of your real estate business. Do you use ChatGPT for helping write listings? What prompts do you use? Any other tools that are particularly useful?
Here's what happened.
I listed, over the phone, the first property they sent me. Nevermind that it was a nightmare listing. Client said it was a rambler. It was a trailer. He had purchased it at a tax sale a year prior and it hadn't been trashed out. The fridge was full of ROTTED FOOD. Rats were everywhere. Drug needles.
Anyway, they offered an upgrade of zip code exclusivity and other percs for a couple grand. After listing the first lead so quickly, I paid for a year's worth. The year came and went and the leads were pure shit.
They stopped with the exclusive leads but kept sending me what I now know they term PASSIVE LEADS: names and addresses with no phone numbers.
I had long since gone back to FSBOs and expireds. But these emails came every day, 3, 5, 8, whatever names a day. I didn't look at them. But apparently over 2 years it was about 4 thousand names.
Anyway, I listed a Zillow FSBO. It goes under contract. Then I get a demand letter for their cut. What?
Apparently, that seller had requested a valuation from sold.com prior and their name was in one of the emails.
After much thought I've concluded that they are just spamming that list out to agents and hoping someone on it will list with someone receiving their passive leads.
Anyone have this experience? Anyone getting the passive lead lists from them?
Thanks for any info or advice
Hi all, wanted to get feedback for a leadgen tool I'm considering offering for realtors:
1/ Super straightforward - the tool scrapes emails from public sources and generates the output in an excel/Google sheets format. You then use your own emailing software/ reach-out solutions to engage.
2/ Looking to charge around $15 p/m for up to 2K emails p/m.
Thoughts regarding the offer? How does the pricing seem?
TIA
Hello Reddit,
I am currently a member of two different MLS's and here in South Jersey there are 8!
I was curious, does anyone know of a service that I can pay to have more MLS's integrated into my website?
I am currently exploring result based companies and consultants for lead generation. I want to see who is using what and how their experience has been. I am a relatively new agent but experienced in a few transactions already. I want to increase my funnel.
Just want to get some suggestions on who you are using, how are the leads, what does ROI look like and what to look out for when choosing a vendor.
Hi there, I got pointed here from the Realtors sub so hopefully we have better luck on this post.
My realtor and I are unsure if the company UR Creative Solutions is a scam or not so I came here to ask if anyone has experience receiving an online offer from them? Hopefully this kind of question is allowed as I'm not asking anyone for legal advice/advice but instead asking for any feedback on dealing with this company and or any similar digital/virtual offer.
This is the Youtube video my realtor and I looked at when we googled their company. The video is someone from a real estate company in Florida giving his explanation of 'Subject To' aka 'Creative Financing' offers and in his opinion, it's a legal scam to stay far away from.
