Real estate agents depend upon leads and relationships to build their business. Suitable software tools can help agents to generate these leads and manage customer relationships. Here are some of the best software tools for real estate CRM and lead generation.

It also allows for CRM system automation. It has an excellent mobile app and is fully scalable. It guarantees a certain number of leads each month.
The downside is that its analytics are less robust than some competitors. It also requires a healthy budget. Access to the platform is $139 per month, and leads are extra, beginning at $25 depending on the lead type.
Top Producer
Top Producer is primarily a CRM tool; however, it also offers predictive analytics, such as who is most likely to sell their home next. Its CRM integrates with most other tools and has automated communications options that integrate with MLS data. It also has a transaction management module.

Lion Desk
Lion Desk is a good option for budget-conscious agents and agencies. You can receive basic features such as bulk texts, video emails, Facebook lead generation, and drip campaigns for $21 a month. As you add more features, the cost increases. Lion Desk also is easy to use and has customizable lead profiles. It also has a feature that responds to leads automatically.

The drawbacks are that it requires a long-term contract and is relatively expensive. It is priced per user, beginning at $79 per month with a minimum of 10 users. However, the IDX integrated website is an additional $299 per month per user. A non-Salesforce-based version for individual agents is $350 a month.

However, it lacks a website and is not a good choice for teams or large firms. Prices start at $32 a month or $326 annually.
