Stephanie Lerner is a prominent real estate agent in the Toronto area who began using the Zoho CRM Real Estate package to automate and manage her varied business functions. With the help of Zoho partner Lior Izik, she’s created an integrated business system that allows her to stay organized, build successful relationships and close deals quickly and efficiently.
Stephanie Lerner is a highly regarded real estate agent servicing The Greater Toronto Area and Southern Ontario for over a decade. She has a thriving real estate business that focuses on personalized customer relations and dedicated customer service.
“In order to provide the kind of customer care I strive for, my business applications need to be easy to use and the processes need to be automated as much as possible. This frees me up to provide the personal touches that are so important in this business,” says Stephanie.
She’d tried various applications for her diverse business management needs: accounting, email marketing, customer relations management, etc. But always ran into problems synching the programs and customizing them to her needs.
She also discovered that using the different platforms became very expensive.
In 2021 she started using the Zoho CRM Real Estate package and her problems were solved.
“Using Zoho reduces my costs and I’m able to customize, automate and sync all of my processes,” says Stephanie.
A Toronto native for over 20 years, Stephanie is keenly familiar with the Greater Toronto Area and Southern Ontario real estate markets.
As a real estate agent she’s built her reputation on conscientious customer attention and thorough attention to details.
To help her run an efficient business, she’s committed to adapting innovative tools that allow her to provide outstanding service to her clients.
In an ongoing effort to attract more leads, improve user engagement and manage her business processes, Stephanie was adapting and implementing a wide range of applications and platforms.
“I was using Mailchimp for emails, QuickBooks for accounting and other apps for signing and appointments,” says Stephanie. But I couldn’t find a CRM that allowed me to do these functions within the app.
“It all got very cumbersome, not to mention expensive.”
Stephanie was also seeking the freedom to do the customizations she needed and to have it all in one integrated system.
Selling or buying real estate is a long process that often includes many follow-ups and re-negotiations. Stephanie needed a system that could track every lead and every deal in an efficient manner.
When she found Zoho she found the business management program she’d been looking for.
She partnered with Zoho Consultant Lior Izik to build a customized system that synched everything she needed in one place.
Working with Lior, she created a program that seamlessly integrates all the programs she needs; automates the many functions of each application; and opens the door to better customer relations and increased revenue.
With Lior’s help, Stephanie customized her Zoho CRM Real Estate software and started using it effortlessly within a few months.
“I’m so happy with Zoho,” says Stephanie. The thing I love the most is how the apps work so seamlessly with each other.
“For instance, I use Zoho Sign for every step of obtaining my clients’ signatures. It sends reminders; walks them through the process; and then updates in Zoho CRM when a document is completed. This flows into Zoho Books so I’m able to match invoices and keep track of my real estate sales.
“It all happens automatically, saving me time and effort. And my clients find the signing process straightforward and easy to use.”
What’s worked best is how Zoho CRM has helped her marketing efforts and improved her lead conversion rates. Stephanie uses multiple sources to generate leads and Zoho assists in all the stages of conversions of those leads.
“Leads from my ads get taken to a Click Funnel landing page. From there, all the contact information gets pushed to populate the Zoho CRM,” says Stephanie.
“What’s really great about Zoho CRM is that it will tell me the lead source and the lead type. I get all the information I need to contact the prospect and start them in the sales pipeline.”
Zoho CRM manages the incoming requests by capturing inquiries, scheduling tasks and keeping tabs on all the activity along the sales pipeline.
“With Zoho CRM I know where I am in every stage of the sales process. From initial contact to submitting an offer, I can easily tell where I am and what will happe next,”says Stephanie.
She credits Zoho CRM with helping her track her progress in the sales process and thereby increasing her lead conversion rate and her bottom line.
“I love Zoho,” says Stephanie. I recently joined a new brokerage and considered using their CRM program.
“It didn’t take long to see the huge advantages of using Zoho over this other program. Lead gen is easier and more thorough with Zoho. And the integration with the post-sales process is much more flexible with Zoho
“Zoho allows you to do countless things to grow your business. I’m just getting started exploring the options!”
