Complete Automation & AI Integration Overhaul for RE/MAX
The Challenge
A rapidly growing RE/MAX brokerage approached us with a critical operational problem: fragmented systems and manual processes that were preventing them from scaling effectively and maximizing agent productivity.
Their key pain points included:
- Disconnected MLS data and HubSpot CRM
- Manual follow-ups with leads inactive for 30+ days
- No systematic client nurturing for past buyers/sellers
- Limited automated communication channels for property updates
- Complex multi-platform newsletter management requiring manual intervention
- Missing automated onboarding sequences for new agents and clients
- No systematic reminders for agents to follow up with qualified leads
- Inability to intelligently prioritize leads based on buying/selling readiness
Our Approach
We implemented a comprehensive solution in two strategic phases to ensure seamless integration and optimal results:
Phase 1 - Core Integration Foundation
Initial implementation: HubSpot and MLS connectivity, client subscription module deployment, automated lead re-engagement campaigns, and WhatsApp integration via Cue.
Phase 2 - Advanced Automation & AI Ecosystem
Full-scale deployment: Custom automation scripts connecting 7 platforms, AI-powered lead scoring and property matching, advanced email sequences via SendGrid, multi-channel client and agent onboarding, and sophisticated nurturing workflows. We eliminated dependency on third-party automation platforms to avoid limitations and ongoing overhead costs.
