Your tailored real estate sales agent workspace

These are net-new, real estate sales agent-specific capabilities — not a generic CRM bolted onto your industry.

• Listing manager as a first-class object (Sentinel): Track active listings with address, MLS#, list price, status (active/pending/sold/expired), photos, and the linked seller contact. Sentinel today has contacts/deals but no property-listing object with its own lifecycle and showing history.
• Contract-to-close transaction checklist (Sentinel): Per-deal milestone tracker for inspection, appraisal, financing-contingency, title, and closing dates with deadline countdowns and at-risk alerts so contingencies never lapse.
• Showing scheduler with buyer feedback capture (Quartermaster): Book showings against a specific listing, then collect structured post-showing feedback from the buyer's agent and roll it into an automatic seller update.
• Commission & split calculator (Treasury): Per-deal gross commission off sale price, brokerage split/cap, referral-fee outflows, and net-to-agent — RE commission math doesn't fit the generic invoice line-item model.
• CMA / listing-presentation generator (Scribe): Auto-fill a comparative market analysis and branded listing presentation from comparable sales for the seller pitch.
• Listing syndication to portals (Herald): One-click push of a new listing (photos + remarks) to Zillow/Realtor.com and social channels with a 'just listed / just sold' template set.
