CRM for growing real estate agencies

Your property portfolio, your client requirements and your agents in one system. Branch-based permissions, viewing-appointment tracking and consolidated reporting — configured around your process, and we do the setup.

When the portfolio, the agent and the client request all sit in different places, matching comes down to one person

The listing side is already handled by separate software in your office. The place that bleeds is the space between the listing and the client: who was looking for what, which property they saw, why they didn't like it, when to call them back.

Here is the picture we have seen again and again in our own CRM projects:

  • Client criteria (budget, area, number of rooms) sit in the agent's notebook or in the notes on their phone; the office cannot see them.
  • Conversations stay on the agent's personal WhatsApp number. When the agent leaves, the client history leaves with them.
  • Viewing appointments get forgotten; a cancelled appointment is not recorded anywhere.
  • Once the sale closes the relationship goes quiet — asking a happy client for a referral is nobody's job.
  • When a new branch opens, the offices cannot see each other's portfolio; the manager adds up the consolidated figures by hand in Excel.

None of this is solved by a new listings portal. It takes record-keeping discipline and permissions — and that is exactly what a CRM is for. The same structure works the same way outside real estate; the part about correspondence staying with the office rather than on the agent's own phone is set out further down this page.

A concrete scenario

Saturday, 2:20pm — a buyer calls about one of your listings.

  1. 1

    The criteria are recorded as fields during the call

    Budget range, target areas, number of rooms and move-in timing go onto the client record as separate fields, not as free-text notes. Information sitting in a free-text note cannot be filtered; written as a field, it can.

  2. 2

    Matching properties are filtered on the same screen

    The portfolio list is filtered by the criteria that were saved. The agent links the properties of interest to the client record and marks the ones that were ruled out along with the reason — so the next conversation does not start from scratch.

  3. 3

    Photos and locations go out from the office's single business number

    The conversation is not on the agent's personal phone but in the team inbox. The message history is written to the client record; while an agent is away, someone else can pick the conversation up where it left off.

  4. 4

    The viewing appointment is written to the calendar and to the sales pipeline

    The appointment is recorded, synced with Google Calendar, and a reminder and a follow-up task are defined. If the viewing did not take place, the opportunity stays at the relevant stage and shows up in the report.

  5. 5

    Feedback after the viewing turns into criteria

    Once a note such as “the living room felt small, the aspect is good” is saved and the criteria fields are updated, the next match is more accurate. The assessment does not stay in the agent's head.

  6. 6

    After closing, the relationship can be put on a schedule

    When the sale closes, periodic check-in tasks, a short satisfaction survey and a referral request can be planned. How many referrals came from which client can be tracked as a record.

The building blocks we set up for real estate teams

Property records

Every property is its own record: price, square metres, number of rooms, floor, area, status (for sale / to let / under option), images and the responsible agent. The fields are configurable — which ones you actually need is something we decide together during setup.

Criteria-based matching

Because the client's budget, area and room count are held as fields, the portfolio is filtered on those fields and saved as list views. There is no magic here: correctly built fields and correctly built lists.

Viewing appointments

Appointments are recorded and synced with Google Calendar; reminders and post-viewing follow-up tasks are defined. Appointments that did not take place show up in the reports.

Branch and agent permissions

Which branch sees which properties, clients and reports is set on a role basis. The manager looks at the consolidated view, the agent sees their own work. Even if an agent leaves, the records stay with the office.

WhatsApp from a single number

All agents write from the office's single business number; messages land in the team inbox and are written to the client record. The route we recommend and set up is Meta's official WhatsApp Cloud API. We do not offer QR-code phone pairing as a product promise: it is not Meta's official API and risks the number being restricted by Meta; if that happens, your business number goes down.

Area and agent reports

Which area has stock piling up, which price band is in demand, how many viewings and how many closings there are per agent — with tables and summary reports and a drag-and-drop dashboard designer, without writing code. Matrix and joined report types are supported as well.

When the agent is out in the field, and connecting to your existing software

Mobile in the field

Real estate work does not happen at a desk. Both our iOS and Android apps are live and come with a Turkish interface; on the way out of a viewing an agent can update the client record, the note and the follow-up task from their phone. Rapi, the voice assistant in the app, creates and updates records in the CRM by speaking Turkish. WhatsApp messages are handled in the single inbox inside the app — the agent can reply without going back to the office. Instagram direct messages are not available today. You can see the details on the mobile app page, and the product as a whole on the product page.

Connecting to your listing and accounting software

Rapitek CRM does not replace your listing-publishing software; it adds a customer relationship layer on top of it. The connection to your portfolio or listing tool, to your accounting or ERP program, is built like this: via REST API, OAuth2, webhooks and import/export, by the team that builds and develops the product. Which data flows in which direction is defined together during setup. We have collected which systems we connect to and how on the integrations page.

There is no out-of-the-box module — saying there is would not be true. Because access differs from one installation to the next, no single button can be built that works the same way in every installation; the connection is a scoped integration job and is planned as part of the setup. We have written out plainly on the pricing page which items are included in the plan price and which are priced separately.

Rollout

How is a CRM rolled out in a real estate agency?

  1. 1

    Discovery and analysis

    We map out your portfolio flow, your agent roles, your branch structure and your commission-sharing model. This is where it is decided which fields you actually need.

  2. 2

    Configuration

    Property and client fields, pipeline stages, list views, the permission matrix and reports are set up around your process. No code is needed; setting it up well takes expertise, and that part we do.

  3. 3

    Data migration

    Portfolio and client records from your Excel files or from your existing system are imported; duplicate records are weeded out.

  4. 4

    Training and go-live

    Training for agents and managers, close follow-up in the first week, then ongoing support. There is no call centre on our support line: the team that builds and develops the product answers you. We do not commit to a timeline before discovery; after that call we give you a date, not a range.

From our CRM implementation projects

What do the teams we work with say?

As a newly founded company that wanted to make fast progress, we realised we needed a general infrastructure for sales management, team tracking and inventory management. With that need in mind we started the project with Rapitek, and we are still continuing our work together today. Rapitek really is a solution partner.

Case study
The most important element in bringing new business ideas to life is your IT infrastructure and your applications. Rapitek offered far more than just supplying an application — they became our solution partner. Thanks to their quick responses in unexpected situations and their flexibility during development, we reached our first product quickly and maintained healthy project continuity.

Data location, KVKK and security — as it is

Real estate data is sensitive: identity details, budgets, addresses, title-deed processes. So we speak plainly here.

  • Your data is held in the European Union. The database is in Helsinki (Finland), media files in Frankfurt, and backups in Falkenstein (Germany). We do not say that the data is held in Türkiye, because it is not.
  • This amounts to a transfer abroad under KVKK art. 9. That is why a privacy notice is presented on our forms; the basis for the transfer is established together with you during the contract process.
  • TLS is used in transit. Credentials and two-factor authentication secrets are protected at rest. A separate database is used for each customer.
  • There is role-based and record-level permissioning; which agent sees which properties is defined.

We do not hold an information security certificate and we do not claim to. Every technical detail we state has a counterpart in the system; we answer your security questions in writing before the rollout. We have written out all of the technical measures point by point on the security page.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about CRM in real estate

What is a real estate CRM system?
A real estate CRM system is customer relationship software that brings the property portfolio, client requests, viewing appointments, the sales pipeline and the post-sale relationship together in one place. It does not replace listing-publishing software; it builds the follow-up layer between the listing and the client. Rapitek CRM configures that layer around your process and takes it live. We do not commit to a timeline before discovery; after the discovery call we give you a date, not a range.
How is portfolio management set up in the CRM?
Every property is held as its own record: price, square metres, number of rooms, floor, area, status (for sale, to let, under option), images and the responsible agent. Filtering is done by area, price range and features, and frequently used filters are saved as list views. Which fields there should be is decided together during setup; we do the configuration.
How does matching clients to properties work?
Criteria such as the client's budget, target areas and number of rooms are recorded as separate fields rather than as free-text notes. The portfolio is filtered on those fields to list suitable properties, and the ones of interest are linked to the client record. So the quality of the matching depends on how disciplined the recording of the criteria is — during setup we define those fields and which of them are mandatory together.
Can several agents use the same WhatsApp number?
Yes. Agents can write from the office's single business number. Messages land in the team inbox and are written to the relevant client record; managers can see the conversations. Even if the agent changes, the history stays with the office. The route we recommend and set up is Meta's official WhatsApp Cloud API. Pairing a phone by QR code is also possible, but we do not offer it as a product promise: that method is not Meta's official API and carries the risk of the number being restricted by Meta; if that risk materialises, your business number goes down. If you prefer that route, we share the risk with you in writing and take the decision together.
Can my Sahibinden, Hepsiemlak or Zingat listings be connected to the CRM?
There is no out-of-the-box module for these portals; saying there is would not be true. The connection is built like this: via REST API, OAuth2, webhooks and import/export, by the team that builds and develops the product. The flow that can be built is one where calls and forms coming from the portal land in the CRM as records with their source tagged; we cannot show you such a flow on a live installation today, so we work the scope out together in discovery.
Does it connect to our accounting or ERP program?
We have no out-of-the-box module on the ERP or accounting side. The connection is built like this: via REST API, OAuth2, webhooks and import/export, by the team that builds and develops the product. Which data flows in which direction, and how often, is defined within the scope of the setup.
Can we track commission sharing?
Commission rates, the office/agent sharing model and the related amounts can be modelled as fields on the record; agent- and branch-level reports are produced from those fields. This structure is configured around your sharing model during setup — it does not arrive as an out-of-the-box payroll module.
How do permissions work in a multi-branch agency?
Role-based permissions determine which branch sees which properties, clients and reports. The branch manager sees their own team; head office sees the consolidated view. Agents can be restricted so that they reach only the records assigned to them.
Is there a mobile app for use in the field?
Yes. Both our iOS and Android apps are live and come with a Turkish interface; on the way out of a viewing an agent can update the client record, the note and the follow-up task from their phone. Rapi, the voice assistant in the app, creates and updates records in the CRM by speaking Turkish. WhatsApp messages are handled in a single inbox inside the app; Instagram direct messages are not available today.
Can we get a trial account?
There is no trial you can start on your own. First we run a live 30-minute demo; then, if you want to explore the product at your own pace, we open a time-limited demo account for you. In the demo we show the product live on your own scenario. Configuration specific to your industry and your process is done during setup, after purchase.
How long does the rollout take and what is included?
We do not commit to a timeline before discovery; after the discovery call we give you a date, not a range. The rollout consists of these steps: discovery and analysis, configuration, data migration from Excel or from your existing system, team training and go-live. The duration varies with the number of branches, the volume of data and the scope of the integrations; the scope and any fee are worked out in the discovery call and shared in writing before work begins.
Where is our data held?
The database is held within the European Union, in Helsinki (Finland); media files are stored in Frankfurt and backups in Falkenstein (Germany). This amounts to a transfer abroad under KVKK art. 9; the basis for it is established according to the tiers in that same article: first an adequacy decision, failing that appropriate safeguards, and exceptionally the incidental cases. TLS is used in transit and a separate database is kept for each customer.
