Zoho CRM for Real Estate Agents
Remember the time when Sarah, our delightful and ever-optimistic real estate agent friend, felt like she was juggling flaming swords? Her phone buzzed relentlessly with client queries, property listings, appointment reminders, and whatnot. And one fine day, in the midst of a heated house auction, she blurted out, "I need a clone!" We laughed then, but boy, did we understand where she was coming from.
