The portal lead problem

Most residential developers and estate agencies receive leads from three to five sources simultaneously. Rightmove, Zoopla, direct website, broker referrals, and site walk-ins all generate leads that go to different people through different channels. Nobody has a combined view.

How portal integration works

Both Rightmove and Zoopla provide lead feed APIs. A properly configured CRM integration receives leads within seconds of submission, with source attribution, property interest, and contact details automatically populated. Response time drops from hours to minutes.

Nurturing the 6-18 month buyer

Property purchase decisions take months. A prospect who visits a show home in January may not be ready to exchange until September. Without a systematic nurture programme that delivers relevant content at appropriate intervals, most of these prospects will buy from a competitor who stayed in touch.
