How a Real Estate Agent Scaled Lead Management Using a Custom CRM and Microsoft Automation

Client Overview

A successful solo real estate agent managing residential listings and buyer clients, was struggling to keep up with lead follow-ups, listing emails, and client document requests. Every lead was handled manually, and hours were lost every week on repetitive admin.

The agent wanted a modern, branded digital experience for prospects — but without hiring a full team.

HarjTech helped them design a custom sales engine using CRM tools, Microsoft Power Apps, and Power Automate — enabling them to work smarter, close faster, and scale their business.

Key Challenges

  • Lead capture was scattered across email, forms, and DMs
  • No centralized CRM to track prospects, deals, or pipeline
  • Manual email follow-ups, pricing, and quote creation
  • Limited time to nurture leads while actively selling
  • No integration between tools (CRM, email, Microsoft 365)

Solution Overview

HarjTech architected a fully customized digital sales system using a blend of:

  • CRM platform (customized for the agent’s workflow)
  • Microsoft Power Automate for communication workflows
  • SharePoint + OneDrive for client document management
  • Outlook and Teams integration for centralized communication
  • Power Apps to automate custom quoting and lead scoring logic

Step-by-Step Breakdown

1. CRM Implementation and Customization

  • Selected and implemented a CRM tool suited to the agent’s industry
  • Customized deal stages, contact fields, and reporting dashboards
  • Integrated with Outlook and website lead forms for real-time capture
  • Set up automation to assign tasks, follow-up reminders, and deal tracking

2. Custom Application for Email & Pricing Automation

  • Built a Power App that lets the agent select a lead, define needs, and auto-generate:
    • Custom pricing packages
    • Follow-up emails
    • Resource links or attachments
  • Connected to SharePoint for dynamic content management and tracking

3. Sales Funnel Automation with Power Automate

  • Automated new lead nurturing with timed emails (welcome, value prop, next steps)
  • Set up conditional flows for different lead types (e.g., warm vs. cold)
  • Enabled one-click proposal generation from CRM
  • Used Microsoft Teams and Outlook for internal notifications and pipeline updates

4. Microsoft Ecosystem Integration

  • Enabled the client to leverage tools they were already paying for (via Microsoft 365)
  • Integrated SharePoint to manage client documentation by deal stage
  • Connected the CRM and Outlook to streamline task, meeting, and communication tracking
  • Used Excel/Power BI to build real-time dashboards and performance views
