Frequently asked questions

What do you do with all my legacy data? Can it be imported?

We import, clean, and transform all your data. Whether it's currently stored in spreadsheets or another CRM, we help you import that information so you can monitor trends, access historical data, and reference a single source of truth for all your customers and prospect interactions.

Does it sync with email marketing platforms?

Yes. Third-party integrations are enabled for both Mailchimp, Vertical Response, as well as dozens of other email marketing and marketing automation platforms (i.e., HubSpot, Pardot, etc.).

Can I access BrightDoor CRM on my phone or tablet?

Yes. BrightDoor CRM is fully responsive. We designed BrightDoor CRM with simplicity and mobility in mind – letting agents use it wherever their work takes them.

How customizable is it to my process or data requirements?

BrightDoor CRM was built for the real estate industry based on decades of experience. But every client is different, so we adapt our processes, features, and data to better serve your specific needs – whether you’re a master-planned community developer who needs to capture welcome center interactions or a realtor who wishes to nurture their best customer relationships.

Can I integrate leads from multiple sources?

Yes! BrightDoor CRM is the central platform from where you can manage all your leads. From capturing in-person leads to understanding web traffic, it is the one-stop-shop for all your customer information, follow-ups, and insight.

How long does it take to set up BrightDoor Touch?

The onboarding process typically takes 4 to 6 weeks to complete. We will use all your available marketing assets to build a custom BrightDoor Touch experience for your community. From there, we iterate and refine the experience. Since we have multiple templates, this process has become much faster and simpler for many of our customers.

What are the hardware requirements for BrightDoor Touch?

The minimum hardware requirement for BrightDoor touch is a touchscreen device. This can be an iPad, a Microsoft Surface, or any sizeable touch-enabled device. If you’re interested in leveraging our technology for a larger digital installation or kiosk, we can also help you source and install your hardware. These types of larger digital applications, however, are not necessary for leveraging our software.

How is BrightDoor Touch any better than a responsive website?

BrightDoor Touch is a highly visual application, specifically designed for an actual in-person experience. Most websites use heavier copy and more-detailed menu options which makes them more ideal for solo exploration. However, they’re much less suitable or bespoke for the kinds of guided experiences you wish to foster inside of a welcome center or sales meeting.

Can you create multiple versions or instances of BrightDoor Touch for specific locations or model homes?

Yes. We can create custom versions of BrightDoor Touch that will only run in specific locations or that will only display certain information. For example, we can build a version to only be used inside of a builder model that only showcases information that is relevant to that builder. This flexibility allows us to provide our customers a seamless, brand-right experience across multiple touchpoints.
