The built-in CRM keeps all your contacts, deals, and communications organized. It’s designed specifically for real estate, so it understands pipeline stages, transaction values, and the way agents actually manage relationships.
Getting There
Click CRM in the left sidebar. You’ll see tabs across the top for different views.
Your main contact list shows everyone in your database.
- Contacts are displayed in a table with name, phone, email, status, and pipeline stage
- Click any contact to see their full details in the right panel
- Use the search bar to find contacts by name, email, or phone number
- Filter by lead status, pipeline stage, tags, or other criteria to narrow your view
- Click Add Contact
- Fill in their information (name, email, phone, etc.)
- Set their lead status and pipeline stage
- Click Save
If you have a list of contacts in a spreadsheet:
- Click the Import button
- Upload your CSV file (.csv format — if you have an Excel file, save it as CSV first)
- Map your columns to PULSEIntel Pro fields (match “First Name” in your file to the First Name field, etc.)
- Preview the import to confirm everything looks right
- Click Import
CSV files must have at least a name column to import. Files larger than 500 contacts should be split into smaller batches to avoid timeouts. Special characters in your file may cause import errors — remove or replace them if the import fails.
Click any contact to see their full profile in the right panel:
- Contact info — Name, email, phone, and all details (editable inline)
- Custom fields — Additional fields specific to your business (buyer timeline, price range, property type preferences, etc.)
- Activity timeline — A history of every interaction with this contact
- Notes — Add and view notes about the relationship
- Tags — Organize contacts with custom labels for easy filtering
- Linked transactions — Any deals associated with this contact
Keep your database clean and actionable:
- Tags — Add custom labels to group contacts (e.g., “sphere of influence,” “hot buyer,” “past client”)
- Lead Status — Track where a contact is in your funnel (New, Active, Nurture, Closed, Archive)
- Search & Filter — Combine search and filters to build targeted lists for outreach
Pipeline
The Pipeline view shows your deals as a visual board:
- Each column represents a stage in your sales process (New Lead, Contacted, Qualifying, Under Contract, Closed, etc.)
- Each card represents a contact with their deal value
- Drag and drop contacts between stages as deals progress
- See at a glance how many deals are in each stage and their total value
The Pipeline view is the fastest way to get a snapshot of your business. Check it weekly to make sure no deals are stuck in a stage too long.
Conversations
Manage all your communications with contacts in one place:
- SMS — View and send text messages to any contact
- Email — Read and compose email threads linked to your contacts
- Voice — Review call history and listen to recordings
All incoming and outgoing messages are logged automatically to the contact’s activity timeline.

Checklists
Each transaction stage can have a checklist of required tasks. Check off items as you complete them to make sure nothing falls through the cracks before closing.
