Brokerages, developer sales desks, and property managers in the UAE, UK, and US

Please stop running your brokerage on a lead sheet and WhatsApp.

Portal enquiries wait in an inbox. Off-plan availability arrives as a developer's PDF. Progression is chased over WhatsApp. Saffron builds the system your team should have had, and your brokerage owns it.

What it runs on today.

What a brokerage runs on today, and what each one costs.

  • Portal lead emails

    Property Finder, Bayut, Rightmove, Zoopla, Zillow. Each enquiry waits for a person to notice it.

  • WhatsApp with clients and developers

    Viewings, offers, availability, and AML documents in one endless thread.

  • The availability sheet

    Off-plan units copied from a developer PDF, out of date by the afternoon.

  • The commission workbook

    Splits, referral fees, and collecting entities reconciled by hand.

  • Progression in email

    Memorandum of sale to completion, chased by reply-all.

  • PropSpace, Reapit, Alto, Follow Up Boss, kvCORE, AppFolio

    Generic pipelines that take months to configure and still leave your workflow in a sheet.

Where the time and the money go.

  • Response time

    Most portal enquiries never get a reply.

    In the UK, fewer than a quarter of Rightmove and Zoopla enquiries receive a reply, and the average first response takes 229 business minutes. In the US, 41 percent of 74 top brokerages never replied to a web enquiry at all. Replying within five minutes makes qualification about 21 times more likely.

  • Stale inventory

    The availability sheet is wrong by lunchtime.

    Developers push off-plan inventory as PDFs and WhatsApp messages, and portals do not carry live availability. Agents re-key into Excel and quote units that sold that morning.

  • Fall-throughs

    Progression lives in email, and chains collapse.

    Between 22 and 30 percent of agreed UK sales fell through in 2025, and chain collapses cost more than one billion pounds. The chase from memorandum of sale to exchange still runs on reply-all.

  • Compliance

    AML and permit evidence sits in message trails.

    HMRC issued 170 anti-money-laundering penalties to UK agents in 2025 to 2026, most for late registration and missing due diligence. Dubai brokers face fines from AED 50,000 for a listing without a valid Trakheesi permit, and commission disputes at DLD are decided on message trails.

The enquiry nobody answered yesterday is the place to start.

Questions, answered plainly.

Book a 30-minute call
Do you replace PropSpace, Reapit, or Follow Up Boss?

If a generic CRM is doing the job, keep it. Saffron builds the workflows those tools leave to spreadsheets and WhatsApp: lead response, live off-plan inventory, progression, and compliance records. It can sit beside your CRM or replace it. Your choice.

Can AI reply to a lead without an agent?

No. AI drafts the reply and an agent approves it. The agent can edit, send as is, or take over the conversation. Every message is logged against the lead with its consent state.

We work in Dubai, London, and Miami. Can one system handle all three?

Yes. Permits, forms, and consent rules are configured per market, so a Trakheesi number is required in Dubai and TCPA consent in the US, with the same lead pipeline underneath.

Where do the portal leads come from?

From the enquiry emails the portals already send, or from their APIs where available. Nothing changes on the portal side.

Who owns the data and the code?

You do. The application, the database, and the source code are yours from the first month. Stop the subscription and everything keeps running.

How fast is the first workflow live?

The first working replacement usually ships within the first weeks. Conduit's full lead-handling platform was built in thirteen weeks. The lead-to-reply workflow on its own is much smaller.

Bring the lead sheet. We will build what it should have been.

Pick the workflow that costs the team the most time. Thirty minutes, no preparation needed.
