Iāve demoed my solution to everyone who has contacted me and been forthcoming with any and all changes Iāve made. I am working to modulize everything I can and put it on github. Many of my changes arenāt even in SuiteCRM. The awesome product itself is enough to build this solution. However, some additional features are only available through the use of 3rd party paid modules. The secret sauce is our implementation is the integration with other products such as wordpress, Open REALTY and most of all ā heavy usage of the dispage module. The latter of the two are not open source which is why I canāt just create a tarball and deploy a module. The screen shots provided by others higher in this thread are a great start to the layout of fields. As many others have done already, feel free to contact me to discuss/review what changes Iāve made.
I am very thankful and excited to try it out. Thanks a lot! 
Thanks a lot! Such a useful thread!
So Iāve actually been thinking about open sourcing this and providing support instead. The biggest problems is it has paid modules I need to somehow replicate or eliminate. If you were to purchase a solution such as Estate Agent, what would a fair amount be per month? Or would you rather have a hosted solution with support?
my preferred model is always one-time payment for the initial setup and then pay-as-i-go support.
I think your direction is good. Dump the code out there for everyone and then be avaible for the very reasonable support, installation, custom coding, etc. Most REALTORS are super technologically weak so if your solution brought them a lot of control, money savings, and business increase, they would be happy to pay.
As a perfect proof, I have a different business now but we are using suitecrm. I also introduced my friend to Suite CRM. He has a company in a different industry. In my case, I have one tax, but in his case he needs two. I donāt know how to help him and he is willing to pay someone to write the code so that it works and also is willing to dump that code into the open source world as a thank you for the core build. But who will write the code?
I can imagine that there are countless very specific real estate coding needs, in addition to what you have developed. There are also probably needs to write manuals for companies who decide to embrace your workā¦
If I could code my way out of a wet paper bag I would contribute more but for now all I can do is blog crap like this. ha
Where is everyone at on this I would love to test what is out there? It looks like Veritris is gone all of the links no longer work?
Please let me know would be happy to contribute financial if something is done and working?
I too am interested in a solution for this. I was just curious if anyone had anything new on the topic. We were using LionDesk for the 30 day trial until we realized the limitations. No inbound email, no international text or calling click to call. I wanted something that is similar to LionDesk. Anyone have any luck integrating Twilio into SuiteCRM for click to call and outbound text?
I am also interested in a system that sets this up for real estate. I too thought about using different things to make it work, but a more developed solution would be the best to get started with.
So i read this whole thread and what I got from it is:
Build it yourself since thereās a million ways to skin a cat.
One guy has a commercial real estate agency, another one has a complete brokerage and calculates monthly expenses for maintenance etc, another guy has a strictly residential real estate company and everyone is doing things differently.
The only consensus is that opportunities = listings (not always) and leads = initial leads.
I got a longterm contract to customize suitrCRM for our a real estate company so if anyone still wants to bounce ideas Iām here, but it seems like āSuite CRM for real estateā is too broad of a subject
Hello nbnewell,
I picked up this thread just recently while consulting for a RE office. Although the last post is old, your approach makes a lot of sense and I am referring to it for the current task. I am curious to know if you have added to it since that time, and if you could share your experiences. -Mark
I got my solution from here - https://docs.suitecrm.com/admin/installation-guide/downloading-installing/ for installing and configure suitecrm.
Thanks,

hello@techavidus.com
Who has configured a Real Estate CRM? Im looking for someone to hire.
I did eventually. It was functioning, and somewhat efficient. (nothing is ever perfect, I hated the way email was handled) Unfortunately I retired from the brokerage and do not think I kept a backup of my setup. As the sole record keeper, my instance was on my now cancelled personal hosting. If I find a backup (I still have External HDās in storage from our move 2 yrs ago) , I will let you know and will share it but am currently not looking to take on another project nor am I knowledgeable enough to start another SuitCRM instance for you from scratch.
I have since started another venture and have moved to another platform that better suits my needs.
