In short

What is a real estate CRM?

A real estate CRM is software that keeps every property enquiry in one place. It shows where the buyer came from, which project they asked about, which broker is handling them, and whether they have visited the site. HemLead does this for brokers and developers, and pulls in leads from Meta Ads, 99acres and your website automatically.

Who it's built for

Real Estate businesses of every shape

Same platform, the same 14-day trial — set up to match how each of these actually sells.

Independent brokers & agents

Juggling enquiries across several active listings and projects at once.

Real estate developers

Selling units across one or more projects, with brokers and an in-house sales team both working leads.

Property management firms

Tracking both owner and tenant enquiries without mixing up two very different pipelines.

Relocation & NRI property services

Following up with buyers across time zones, where a missed callback is especially costly.

Sound familiar?

Where a generic CRM falls short for Real Estate

Leads sit in a shared inbox

A project enquiry comes in and it is on whichever broker happens to check WhatsApp first — not the one who actually knows that project or locality.

Site visits are never tracked

Without a record of who visited which project and when, a second broker calling the same lead has no idea a visit already happened.

Portal leads and ad leads live apart

99acres enquiries, Meta Ads leads, and walk-ins usually end up in different places, so nobody sees the full picture on one lead.

A simple guide

CRM for Real Estate, explained in plain English

Why do real estate leads go cold?

Most property buyers enquire about several projects at the same time. The broker who calls back first, with the right details, usually gets the site visit. When enquiries land in a shared WhatsApp group or an email inbox, nobody owns them, so the callback happens hours later or not at all.

The second problem is memory. A buyer can take weeks or months to decide. If the notes from the first call and the site visit live in one broker's phone, the next person who calls that buyer starts from zero. Buyers notice, and it costs you their trust.

How a CRM helps brokers and developers

A CRM gives every enquiry one owner the moment it arrives. HemLead can assign it automatically by project or locality, and the assigned broker gets an email alert straight away.

Every call, note, WhatsApp message and site visit is saved on the lead. If the lead moves to another broker, the full history moves with it. Managers can see each broker's response time, calls made and deals closed without asking anyone for a report.

What to look for in a real estate CRM

Pick a CRM that captures leads from the places you actually advertise, such as Meta Ads, property portals like 99acres, and your own website, without any copy and paste. You should be able to rename pipeline stages to match your process, add your own fields like budget, BHK and preferred locality, and message buyers on WhatsApp from inside the CRM.

If you run Meta ads, check for Meta Conversions API (CAPI) support. It tells Meta which enquiries became site visits and bookings, so your ads find more people like your real buyers. HemLead includes all of this on every plan, starting at ₹1,499 a month.

How it works

Site visit → booking, start to finish

1

Enquiry captured

A Meta Ads lead, a 99acres enquiry, or a website form fill lands in the pipeline within seconds, tagged with which project it came from.

2

Routed to the right broker

Auto-assign rules route the lead by project or locality — or an admin reassigns it to a specific broker in one click.

3

Site visit logged

Date, outcome, and notes from the visit stay on the lead record, visible to anyone who picks it up next.

4

Deal won, synced back

Marking the deal "Won" sends that signal back to Meta CAPI, so your ad account learns which enquiries actually became buyers.

What Real Estate teams actually use

Same HemLead platform everyone else runs on — these are the parts of it that matter most for how real estate teams sell.

Auto-assign by project & territory

Route new enquiries to the broker who owns that project or locality — automatically, or by hand when a lead needs a specific person.

Meta CAPI sync

When a lead moves to "Site visit booked" or "Won," that signal goes back to Meta so your ad account learns which enquiries actually convert.

Custom pipeline stages

Model your real sales stages — enquiry, site visit, negotiation, booking — instead of a generic "lead / opportunity / won" template.

WhatsApp integration

Message a lead about a site visit time straight from their record — included on every plan, not a separate tab or tool.

Practical tips

How to convert more real estate leads

1

Call within minutes, not hours

Buyers enquire on many projects at once. Auto-assignment and instant email alerts help your broker be the first to call.
2

Note budget and locality on the first call

Save them as custom fields so the next broker never has to ask the same questions again.
3

Confirm every site visit on WhatsApp

Send the date, time and location pin a day before. Fewer buyers forget or skip the visit.
4

Follow up within 24 hours of a visit

Ask what they liked and what is holding them back, then log the answer on the lead.
5

Always record why a lead was lost

Budget, location or timing. Over a few months these reasons show which projects and ads need fixing.

Know your numbers

4 numbers every real estate team should track

HemLead's reports and rep performance view show these without exporting anything to a spreadsheet.

First response time

How long it takes a broker to call a new enquiry. Shorter is better.

Enquiry to site visit rate

The share of enquiries that book a visit. It shows lead quality and how well brokers pitch.

Site visit to booking rate

The share of visits that become bookings. It shows how strong your closing is.

Bookings by source

Which ad, portal or campaign brings buyers who actually book, not just enquire.

Common questions

Before you start your trial

Can HemLead route leads by project or locality?

Yes — auto-assign rules can route by territory, and pipeline stages and custom fields can be set up to match how your projects and localities are organized.

Does it work with 99acres and Meta Ads leads?

99acres connects via the favicon-listed integration, and Meta Instant Form leads are captured automatically with Meta CAPI sync included on every plan.

Can I track site visits on a lead?

Yes — custom fields and pipeline stages can record site visit dates and outcomes directly on the lead, visible to any broker who picks it up next.

Can multiple brokers work the same project?

Yes — auto-assign rules can route by project or locality, and admins can reassign a lead to a specific broker in one click, with full history staying attached.

Does it work for both brokerages and developers?

Yes — pipeline stages and custom fields can be set up either way, whether you are a brokerage juggling many projects or a developer selling one.

Is there a free trial?

Yes — 14 days of the full Essential plan, free, with no card required up front.

How much does HemLead cost for a real estate team?

The Essential plan is ₹1,499 a month with 2 users included, and ₹499 for each extra user, up to 20 users. Larger brokerages and developers usually pick Enterprise at ₹2,499 a month, which allows up to 100 users. WhatsApp and Meta CAPI sync are included on both.

Can brokers use HemLead from their phone?

Can I bring in my existing buyer list?

Yes. You can pull leads in from Google Sheets. If you are moving from Zoho or Salesforce, the HemLead team moves your open pipeline for free during onboarding.

Will I know which ads bring real buyers?

Yes. Every lead keeps the campaign and ad it came from. With Meta CAPI sync, HemLead also tells Meta when a lead books a visit or a unit, so Meta can show your ads to more people like your real buyers.
