Property management companies · CRM

Keep owners, flats, tenants and renewals in one record that outlasts any single executive.

A CRM for a property management company is a shared record of every owner, property, tenant enquiry and renewal date, so that nothing lives only in one executive's phone. GullySales sets up the fields, the stages and the habit of using them, in whichever tool you already pay for or a plain shared sheet.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What CRM means

A CRM is the record where every enquiry, call and quote is kept against a customer, replacing separate notebooks, spreadsheets and memory. GullySales sets up or cleans an existing CRM and reports from it by enquiry outcome rather than by activity logged.

For property management companies

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “The owner and the property are not the same record”

    One owner may hold three flats, and one building may have six owners. A record built around the phone number alone loses this. You need the owner, the property and the agreement linked, so that a vacancy in one flat is seen against the owner's whole relationship with you.

  • “Renewal dates live in somebody's memory”

    A management agreement ends, a lease ends, a lock-in lapses. When these dates sit in an executive's diary, the person leaving takes the date with them. The first sign is an owner who tells you they have already signed with another firm.

  • “Tenant enquiries and owner enquiries need separate pipelines”

    A tenant enquiry moves from message to visit to token in days. An owner enquiry moves from rent estimate to agreement across weeks. Pushed through one list, the slow pipeline is crowded out by the urgent one and the owner is forgotten.

  • “A lost property is data nobody wrote down”

    An owner sells, a family returns, a committee changes manager. Each is a different cause, and each needs a different answer. Without a reason recorded at the time, the same properties leave for the same reasons.

What we do

What we deliver for property management companies.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. Owner, property and agreement fields

    A record structure linking each owner to every property they hold and the agreement attached, with start and end dates visible.

    Result: One screen shows what you manage for an owner.

  2. Two pipelines with their own stages

    One for owner enquiries, from rent estimate to signed agreement, and one for tenant enquiries, from first message to token, each with clear stage names.

    Result: Neither pipeline hides inside the other.

  3. Renewal and lock-in reminders

    Each agreement date is entered once and a reminder goes to a named person ahead of the date you choose.

    Result: A renewal is a conversation you started, not a surprise.

  4. Reason-for-leaving field

    A short list of reasons an owner exits, picked when the property is released, with a free-text note.

    Result: You can see which reasons repeat across the list.

  5. Referrer field on every enquiry

    Who sent the owner: a broker, an accountant, a builder, another owner, a search, a listing site.

    Result: You know which referrers send real work and deserve a thank-you.

  6. Handover note for staff changes

    A short template an executive fills in when leaving or moving a portfolio, covering open repairs, pending dues and owner preferences.

    Result: A colleague can pick up the owner without asking the owner to repeat everything.

How the result is measured

  • Enquiries logged in the CRM
  • Data completeness
  • Reports generated from CRM data

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Fields worth keeping

The owner, flat and agreement details that a property manager needs on one record.

Owner and flat as separate records
The office fills these when the agreement is signed. One owner can hold several flats, and a flat can change owner, so keeping them apart avoids a duplicate on every sale.
Agreement start, lock-in end and renewal date
Filled from the signed agreement. It lets the office ring the owner before the date passes rather than after the owner has already spoken to another firm.
Rent-estimate sent, with date
The executive who sent the estimate fills it. It shows which owners were given a figure and never called again, which is where most enquiries go quiet.
Referrer name
Taken at the first call: a broker, an accountant, a neighbour or a search. It tells you whom to thank and which source brings owners worth keeping.
Reason for leaving
The manager fills it when an owner ends the agreement: sold the flat, moved to a cheaper firm, disputed a charge. Lost owners are the data most firms never write down.
Tenant enquiry stage
Held in its own pipeline from first message to key handover, so tenant movement is not counted as owner business and the vacancy clock stays visible.

Who it is for

This is written for these property management companies.

  • Residential flat and apartment managers for individual owners
  • Managers of rented independent houses and villas
  • Apartment complex and gated community managers working with the committee or the RWA
  • Commercial shop, office and warehouse property managers
  • Facility managers handling common areas, housekeeping and security
  • Rental managers working for NRI and out-of-city owners
  • Builders running a management arm for their own handed-over projects
  • PG, co-living and serviced apartment operators
  • Brokerages adding a management service
  • New firms still building their first set of managed properties

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • Your owner and flat details sit in an accounting package that your accountant keeps, and no one will update a second place.
  • You manage only a few properties and know every owner by name, so a system would be more work than the memory it replaces.
  • The firm has not agreed who owns an owner relationship when an executive leaves.

How it works

How the CRM work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Map the sales process

    We sit with the people who sell and write down how a deal moves from enquiry to payment, including where it stalls.

  2. 2

    Agree stages, fields and owners

    Each stage gets a name your team already uses and a proof that the deal has left it. We agree which fields are required at which stage, and who may change what.

  3. 3

    Build on a copy

    Pipeline, fields and views are built on a trial copy where the CRM offers one, or in a separate pipeline where the plan allows. Live work stays untouched.

  4. 4

    Connect channels, then switch on automations

    Channels are connected first. Each automation is then switched on separately, so a misfiring rule is easy to find.

  5. 5

    Test with real deals

    The people who will use the CRM run open deals through it. Gaps are fixed before the whole team switches over.

  6. 6

    Switch over and trim

    Once real use shows which fields stay empty and which stages nobody uses, those are cut and the handover record is updated.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales management. A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3 · you are here

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Do we need to buy new software?
Not necessarily. A well-kept shared sheet serves a small portfolio. We recommend a paid tool only when the volume or the number of staff makes the sheet unreliable, and we name the options you could look at, leaving the choice to you.
Who owns the data in the CRM?
You do. The record sits in your account under your firm's name, and the owner deals with your firm throughout. Owner details are personal information, so check with your own adviser how it must be stored and who may see it.
Our executives will not fill it in. What then?
We keep the entry short and put the fields they already ask on the call at the top. We then agree one rule with you, such as no follow-up is promised unless it is in the record. A tool that costs more effort than it saves is dropped.
Should owner bank details and ID copies sit in the CRM?
Keep them out unless you must hold them. The CRM is for the relationship, and bank details and identity papers are best kept in the secured place your adviser agreed. Fewer people can open them that way, and a staff exit leaves less to recover.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
