One client relationship divided across four tools
A website inquiry can wait unclaimed in a shared inbox while the showing agent records the buyer's preferences in a personal spreadsheet. When the same buyer asks about a home from a showing last month, the agent on the call will have to find notes that are in a colleague's spreadsheet. The listing agent can email a price cut to the buyer's old address, because the buyer gives the new one to a colleague who records it outside the CRM. At closing, the transaction coordinator gathers disclosures from four storage systems. Because each party keeps its own copy, the title company can then ask for the same scan twice. After the closing, the agent will have to remember the anniversary of the sale on their own.
