Inside a Day with a Homi-Powered Broker: From Client Chaos to Closing Success
Meet Lisa Chen, a residential broker in Seattle who manages 15 active clients across different price points and neighborhoods. Here's how her day transformed after switching to Homi's professional platform.
6:30 AM - Before Homi: Checking three different spreadsheets, five email threads, and a stack of printed listings to prep for the day.
6:30 AM - With Homi: One dashboard shows all client activity overnight, new matches, and today's priorities. Coffee tastes better when you're not stressed.
The Reality of Professional Real Estate
Managing multiple clients simultaneously isn't just challenging—it's a constant juggling act that can make or break your business. Each client has different budgets, preferences, timelines, and communication styles. Traditional tools force brokers to become project managers, data entry clerks, and customer service reps all at once.
Industry Reality: The average successful broker manages 12-18 active
clients simultaneously, each with 5-15 properties under consideration. That's
up to 270 properties to track across different stages of interest.
The Traditional Broker Struggle
Client A: First-time buyers, $400k budget, want everything explained Client B: Investors, $2M+ budget, want deals fast with minimal handholding Client C: Family relocating, 6 weeks to find and close, very specific school requirements Client D: Empty nesters downsizing, emotional about leaving family home
Each needs different information, different communication frequency, and different levels of support. Most brokers end up with:
Separate spreadsheets for each client
Email chains that become impossible to follow
Screenshots and photos scattered across devices
Manual updates to multiple systems
Constant fear of mixing up client information

Lisa's Transformation: A Day-by-Day Comparison
Monday Morning: Client Onboarding
Before Homi:
90-minute meeting with new clients
Manual creation of spreadsheet with their criteria
Email follow-up with links to MLS searches
Separate calendar entry for follow-up timing
With Homi Broker Premium:
45-minute meeting focused on relationship building
Create collection live during meeting with clients watching
Clients get instant access to collaborate and add properties
Automated follow-up sequences based on client type
"I used to spend Sunday nights preparing for Monday client meetings. Now I walk in confident that everything's organized and accessible."
Tuesday: Market Research & Property Matching
Before Homi:
Check 6 different MLS systems
Manual screening against each client's criteria
Create individual emails with property details
Track which clients have seen which properties in spreadsheet
With Homi's Multi-Client Dashboard:
New listings automatically matched to client criteria
One-click to add promising properties to relevant client collections
Clients get real-time notifications with full context
System tracks views, ratings, and feedback automatically
Wednesday: Client Feedback Management
Before Homi:
Collect feedback via phone calls, texts, emails
Manually update spreadsheets with client responses
Try to remember verbal feedback from showings
Lose track of why clients rejected certain properties
AI insights suggest better matches based on patterns
I closed 23% more deals last year after switching to Homi. Not because I
worked more hours, but because I could focus on high-value activities like
building relationships and negotiating instead of shuffling paperwork.

Client has 24/7 access to all properties, notes, and broker insights
Real-time collaboration on property ratings and feedback
Broker proactively shares new matches with context
Client feels supported and informed throughout the process
