Real estate agents have a lot to keep track of. Current clients, leads, listings, transactions, incoming messages, and contact lists are just a few of the things an agent has to monitor and manage during their day.

Fortunately, they don’t have to manage any of this information on their own. A solid customer relationship management (CRM) system puts all of this vital data — and more — in one location, so agents can access it at a moment’s notice and spend more time focusing on closing deals and generating revenue.

There’s currently no shortage of CRMs tailored to real estate agents, including Keller Williams’ KW Command. More than a CRM, KW’s integrated suite of tools helps KW-affiliated agents connect with their clients, oversee their business more efficiently, manage their database — and control their future.

“We want to be the primary hub of a real estate agent’s business when it comes to technology, and allow for the ability to integrate with the products agents know and love,” Keller Williams Senior LABS Manager Donnie Brookman says. “The great thing about Command is it’s a centralized point and shared ecosystem between agents and their market center. It creates the most seamless transaction experience.”

If you’re not using a CRM to manage your real estate business, there’s no better time to start. Keep reading to learn more about how you can benefit from a real estate CRM, how Command can transform your business, and how it compares to other CRMs in the industry.
