Real estate transactions are complex, involving multiple stakeholders, ever-changing market conditions, and a constant flow of deals in progress. Many agencies rely on real estate-specific platforms or piecemeal solutions to manage operations, only to find that they lack the flexibility, transparency, and automation needed to scale efficiently.
This was the case for Riley Smith Group (RSG)—a top-performing real estate team managing $400 million in transactions annually. Their previous systems were clunky, fragmented, and restrictive, preventing them from tracking performance effectively. That all changed when they switched to monday.com, with the help of Purple Plum Consulting.
The Problem: Fragmented Systems and Lack of Visibility
The Riley Smith Group’s transition highlights the importance of adopting modern solutions in a fast-paced market.
“Before monday.com, our business was messy and disorganized. We had several platforms, each doing one piece of the puzzle. Pulling reports was a nightmare, and we were constantly limited by what the software allowed us to see.” – Riley Smith Group
Like many real estate businesses, RSG initially used a transaction management platform built specifically for real estate. But it didn’t provide custom reporting, real-time tracking, or cross-department collaboration. Instead, their teams were stuck waiting for platform updates or working around rigid structures that didn’t fit their needs.
The Shift to monday.com: A Single Platform for Everything
Switching to monday.com meant moving all real estate operations to one place—from transaction management to financial forecasting and beyond. With Purple Plum Consulting, RSG was able to customize their workflows to fit their exact business needs.
Fully automated transaction management – Listings automatically move through key stages, triggering notifications and action items.
Custom dashboards for real-time insights – Leadership can track pending deals, commissions, and revenue projections at a glance.
Seamless financial forecasting – No more manual tracking or disconnected spreadsheets—everything updates in real time.
Marketing automation – High-value listings trigger specific workflows, ensuring timely marketing execution.
HR & operations integration – Onboarding, task management, and internal processes are now streamlined across departments.
“We started with transaction management, but then we saw how other teams—marketing, operations, HR—could benefit. It’s trickled into every single department, making our entire company more efficient.”
The Real Impact: Total Business Transformation
Real estate-specific software only focuses on transactions—but a real estate business is more than just deals. With monday.com, RSG has transparency across the entire company, allowing every department to work efficiently in the same system.
“Unlike real estate-specific platforms, where we had to wait for updates, monday.com lets us customize and improve our workflows instantly. We’re not limited by what someone else thinks we need—we build exactly what works for us.”
For RSG, monday.com has become the backbone of their business, creating a level of collaboration, automation, and efficiency they never had before.
