In order to promote and sell your properties, you’re using an entire stack of software tools - email marketing services, SMS messaging platforms, reporting and analytics tools, CRM systems, AI-driven insight platforms, task management apps, and maybe even virtual tour generators. All of these can add considerable costs, but also an unnecessary level of complexity - managing all of these tools takes time and effort. 

With VAUNT, you get almost everything you need under one roof - so one subscription will cover features that would otherwise require multiple paid tools. In this article, we break down how much you’d pay for standalone solutions to show you how much you can save - in time and energy - with VAUNT.

‍

CRM Systems

Most real estate sales teams manage their leads through CRM (Customer Relationship Management) tools. 

Well-known tools charge per user/month, with costs ranging between $7–$15 per user/month while more advanced plans can run $50 to $150 per user/month and even higher (source).

If you have a team of agents, these costs multiply. For instance, a growing real estate team could easily spend a few hundred dollars each month on a quality CRM subscription to handle all client data and follow-ups. 

VAUNT includes robust CRM functionality as part of our offering - you will get contact management, lead tracking, and follow-up reminders inside the platform. This not only reduces costs but ensures your lead data stays in one system alongside your marketing and sales tools.

‍

Email Marketing Tools

Email marketing is critical for nurturing leads and staying in touch with potential buyers and investors. Dedicated platforms charge, usually, based on the size of your contact list, number of campaigns you send, or managers. 

Costs can go from $0 to $99 per month if you have around 5000 subscribers; for more contacts, prices go even higher (source).

They provide templates, analytics, segmentations - all very important features that you will also find in your VAUNT Dashboard. The benefit? You don’t need a separate subscription, because now you can send your marketing emails, follow-up, use pre-built designs or create your own directly from the platform. Also, through VAUNT, you can see which e-mail actually turned into a visit or closing.

‍

SMS Marketing Solutions

Text messages are a very direct means of communication that has very high chances of reaching the targeted audience. You could send SMS alerts about new listings or appointment reminders, and be almost certain people have received it. 

Typically, standalone SMS marketing services range from $8 to $45 per month, depending on the number of messages you want to send (source). Some platforms might also charge per message sent.

If you have a large client base, these costs add up, not to mention that you’ll also need to manage this subscription individually. With VAUNT, you can send bulk texts or automated SMS follow-ups without paying for a separate texting service, and track conversions.

Report Generation and Analytics Tools

There is valuable information in data, and tracking and reporting it correctly, in real-time can make a real competitive difference. Many teams use specialized reporting or business intelligence tools to generate reports, but these mean: 

1. Using an external service, making the process take longer than if managed internally
2. Investing from $10 to around $100 per month or even more, for enterprise-level solutions

With VAUNT, reporting is integrated into the platform. You can generate financial, sales, marketing, inventory, team performance reports without a separate subscription. This integration not only saves money but also time (no manual data exports needed). For a real estate business, that could mean hundreds or thousands saved each month that would otherwise go into a dedicated analytics tool or hiring external reporting services.

‍

AI Insight and Analysis Tools

AI-driven insights transform how you analyze and use your data. An AI-based insight generator could help you better understand what your clients want by analyzing your conversations and their behaviour. AI can also be used to automate content creation (like property descriptions for online listings), for filling contracts and saving time with documents, and for anonymised benchmarking against other users to help you find our your real performance in the market.

However, AI capabilities come with a cost. Maybe the most well-known tool that can work as your AI copywriting assistant or analytics service is ChatGPT that has a free version, and paid plans that start at $20/month. Nonetheless, for enterprise-grade AI, prices go to several hundred dollars/month.

VAUNT provides an AI insight generator as part of the platform. You will get the benefit of AI-driven recommendations and automation. This inclusion can save a substantial amount, especially as AI tools tend to be pricey when purchased standalone.

‍

Task Management Software

To accurately keep track of all your agents tasks, you need a project or task management app. Real estate teams might use general-purpose tools to assign tasks, set deadlines, and ensure everything gets done.

Such tools come with associated costs, and they can range from $10 to $500+/month, depending on the size of the company (source).

VAUNT has task and project management features included, allowing your team to coordinate within the same system you use for sales, send notifications and track agents’ activity. This will save you from subscribing to a separate tool, and keep everything in one place.

‍

Virtual Tour Generator 

Virtual tours can be a real sales machine in real estate. Available 24/7, they are the online, always there, shareable showroom that any client can see, whenever they want. 

‍Prices for such tours can go from as little as $10 per month and go to personalized cost/tour that might require premium subscriptions to advanced tools. Furthermore, you might also need to pay for third-party services hundreds of dollars per tour for professional results if you lack in-house tools.

VAUNT includes a 2D tour generator as part of our all-in-one suite. This means you can create digital tours of your listings without paying for another software service or outsourcing the task, using materials that you most probably already have. The tool is now free for testing.

‍

All-In-One Savings & Convenience

All of the costs above add up. Paying for a suite of tools strains your budget but also introduces a level of complexity - you need multiple login details, integrations, learning curves, maintenance. You could end up spending a few hundred dollars per month for all these services and have to manage them individually.

In contrast, VAUNT consolidates all of these functions into one integrated system. You only enroll for one subscription and get everything in a single dashboard.

Beyond saving money, you won’t have to juggle with multiple services and your team will work more efficiently in an unified environment. With an all-in-one residential real estate sale tool that also helps you optimize transaction performance and see where you and your teams stand in the market, your workflow gets simplified and you get to focus on what really matters: more contracts and more added value.
