For an office with a few agents, the Portuguese off-the-shelf real estate CRMs handle portal publishing and contact management well. The best one is the one that handles your listings, your commissions and your offices without sending the team back to Excel. Before choosing, ask for a demo with your own properties and commission rules, not with the vendor's sample data.",{"q":33,"a":34},"Does a real estate CRM need to publish to Idealista and Imovirtual?","In practice, yes. If every property has to be published by hand on each portal, the team loses time and the listings end up with different prices, photos and texts. The CRM should be the only place where a property is edited, and the portals receive the changes automatically. It should also receive the enquiries that come from those portals and assign them to an agent without anyone copying them by hand.",{"q":36,"a":37},"Does the CRM help meet IMPIC obligations?","It can help a lot. The law requires the agency to keep an up-to-date record of its brokerage agreements and, under anti-money-laundering rules, to identify clients and report to IMPIC every quarter the transactions it takes part in. If the CRM stores the agreements, the parties and the value of each deal, that report becomes an export rather than a hunt for paperwork at the end of the quarter. Legal validation remains the agency's responsibility.",{"q":39,"a":40},"How much does a custom real estate CRM cost?","A CRM for one team, with clients, listings, viewings, commissions and one synced portal, costs between €15,000 and €25,000. For several teams or offices, each with its own commission rules and several portals, it costs between €25,000 and €40,000. A platform with an area where owners and buyers follow the process starts at €40,000.",{"q":42,"a":43},"Does a prototype built with ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini lower the price of a custom CRM?","Usually, yes. A working prototype shows the property records, commission rules and screens the agency wants, which shortens discovery. What a prototype does not bring is still needed: user accounts, real data, the connection to portals and invoicing, backups and testing.",{"q":45,"a":46},"Can I move my data from my current CRM to a new one?","Yes, and it should be one of the first questions you ask any vendor. Properties, contacts, viewing history and agreements should leave the old system and enter the new one before go-live. In a custom CRM, migration is part of the project. With an off-the-shelf CRM, check before signing that you can export all your data, not just the contact list.",{"type":48,"children":49,"toc":630},"root",[50,58,63,70,75,81,86,91,97,102,109,114,120,125,131,136,142,147,153,158,164,178,184,189,346,352,357,363,368,403,424,430,435,448,454,459,540,560,572,578,583,617],{"type":51,"tag":52,"props":53,"children":54},"element","p",{},[55],{"type":56,"value":57},"text","People who search for \"real estate CRM software\" are rarely starting from\nscratch.
