Automation for real estate teams that don't have time to wait on leads
From the moment a portal enquiry lands to the moment a tenancy or sale completes, Pulse builds the systems that keep your agency responsive — without adding headcount.
Every hour a lead sits unanswered is an hour closer to a competing agency getting there first
Most independent agencies are still connecting Rightmove/Zoopla (UK) or MLS/IDX (US/Canada) leads to their CRM by hand, chasing applicants by phone for viewing slots, and rebuilding the same landlord/property data across a CRM and a spreadsheet. None of that work sells a property — it just has to happen before the selling can.
- Portal leads sit in a shared inbox until someone notices them.
- Applicant and landlord data gets re-typed into two or three systems.
- Viewing follow-up happens if someone remembers — not because a system prompts it.
What changes when the admin runs itself
Before
Portal enquiry → sits in a shared inbox → someone notices it (minutes to hours later) → manually copied into CRM → applicant called/texted to arrange a viewing → viewing outcome tracked in a spreadsheet → follow-up happens if someone remembers.
After
Portal enquiry → auto-captured and enriched → CRM record created instantly → applicant receives an immediate, branded acknowledgement → negotiator notified with full context → viewing booked through an automated scheduling flow → post-viewing follow-up sequence triggers automatically → all activity logged for reporting without manual entry.
What we build for real estate teams
- Speed-to-lead & enquiry routing systems — every portal enquiry captured and routed instantly, with an immediate acknowledgement to the applicant.
- CRM automation & data sync — portal ↔ CRM ↔ reporting stays in sync automatically, no manual re-entry.
- Viewing & applicant follow-up workflows — scheduling and post-viewing follow-up that happens whether or not someone remembers.
- Landlord/property onboarding automation — the document-heavy, multi-step setup process, automated.
- Automated portfolio & performance reporting — reporting draws from live data instead of being rebuilt by hand each month.
What changes
- Faster lead response times
- Fewer dropped or forgotten applicants
- More listings and viewings handled by the same team
- Cleaner, always-current CRM data
