Why Real Estate Companies Need CTI in Salesforce

Real estate companies using Salesforce CRM rely heavily on outbound and inbound calls to verify property ownership, confirm listings, and follow up with sellers and buyers

In this article, we compare the most commonly used Salesforce CTI tools for real estate companies based on cost, features, productivity, user experience, and Salesforce integration depth.

Real estate workflows are call-heavy and time-sensitive. CTI tools help by:

  • Enabling click-to-call directly from Salesforce

  • Automatically logging calls against Leads, Contacts, and Opportunities

  • Improving agent productivity for property owner verification

  • Reducing manual data entry and follow-up errors

  • Providing call recordings and analytics for quality control

For US-based and global real estate teams, CTI is no longer optional — it is a core CRM productivity layer.
