Her Story

Starting from scratch, Melissa built her client base through the power of social media. "I had no social media before I became a realtor," she admits. "But people were telling me it's free advertisement, so I started adding all the people that I knew from high school, and then I got my first clients from there. Now, it's all about referrals."

Despite facing numerous challenges, including the juggling act of raising three young children, Melissa never lost sight of her goals. "Having three kids under four was a lot, but I didn't want to give up because I truly have a passion for what I do," she explains.

"I've been doing this for nine years, and before Smartfollowups, I didn't have any CRM system," she admits. "I feel like I lost so much business because of that. But now, with Smartfollowups, everything is more organized, and I can't imagine my business without it."

Melissa's success with Smartfollowups extends beyond real estate sales. "It also helped me out a lot with my rentals," she adds. "I can follow up with tenants who haven't paid, and it's the best thing ever." Melissa has now acquired 7 real estate investment rental properties all over Houston Texas.

That way, you can follow up and convert them into appointments and closings. You can't do all this successfully without the system."

Melissa in numbers

Melissa started using Smartfollowups CRM around September last year (2023). Initial setups were done and she started adding clients. 6 months in and she already crossed $177,900 in sales with a pipeline that's worth $461,244! -- that's a conversion rate of 24.68% and still growing! 🎉

How the CRM works:

Here's how Smartfollowups CRM works in a nutshell. A contact reached you, you were then able to identify the customer that he's a buyer-- after your conversation, you then updated the contact information and added the respective tag (buyer or seller) and added in the pipeline. The CRM will do its magic and send all the necessary information your client needs to receive. The CRM will also auto-follow up with your clients both Email and SMS. If they are still working on their loan application, the system will keep in contact with the client and ask for an update. If the contact is a pre-qualified buyer, the system will keep following-up asking for a showing schedule. Especially if you don't have recent conversations going with your client. When you book an appointment and schedule it in the built-in calendar, the system will keep you posted and send appointment reminders including your client!

Voila! Imagine how much time is saved. 🎉
