Executive Quick Answer
A U.S.-based real estate company was manually creating sales events and lacked an efficient way for agents to identify nearby properties when recommending options to buyers. Kizzy Consulting automated event creation based on Salesforce record updates and built a custom property-map component that surfaced nearby seller properties directly on the buyer property record. The solution reduced sales-team effort for property suggestions by up to 40% within three months.

Salesforce for Real Estate: Business Challenges
The client procures and retails properties through multiple stages of the real estate sales process. As prospects and buyers moved through these stages, the sales team needed to complete a series of follow-up activities and events.
However, the creation and recording of these events was largely manual. Business administrators were required to initiate and maintain the required events, creating additional administrative work and introducing opportunities for missed or delayed activities.
01
Manual Event Creation
Sales events had to be created and maintained manually based on changes occurring throughout the property sales process.
02
Administrative Overhead
Business administrators and sales teams spent valuable time creating and managing events instead of focusing on higher-value activities.
03
Limited Property Visibility
Agents could not view nearby properties directly from the buyer property record and had to search properties individually using addresses.
04
Slower Property Recommendations
The lack of a live map-based property view made it harder for agents to quickly identify suitable nearby properties for buyers.
These operational limitations affected productivity and created friction during customer interactions. The client needed a Salesforce solution that could automate event management while giving sales representatives a faster way to discover relevant properties.
Salesforce Solution for Real Estate: Automation + Property Mapping
Kizzy Consulting designed a solution around two primary objectives: automate sales-event creation and provide agents with a live property recommendation experience inside Salesforce.
1. Automated Salesforce Event Creation
The Kizzy team implemented automated processes using distinct naming conventions for different event types. Individual automations were developed for event creation and updates, with custom scripts used where required to integrate the automation with the client’s existing Salesforce data structure.
The result was a more consistent event-management process in which relevant record changes could automatically initiate the appropriate Salesforce activities instead of requiring administrators to create every event manually.
2. Custom Salesforce Property Recommendation Map
To improve property discovery, Kizzy Consulting developed a custom component and placed it directly on the Buyer Property detail page.
Step 01
The component is displayed directly on the Buyer Property detail page.

Custom Salesforce Component for Listing & Event Visibility
The Kizzy team also developed a custom component to make listing-related information easier to access and retrieve. The component provided a consolidated view of information associated with the events of a given listing.
By bringing relevant event information into a single Salesforce experience, the solution improved visibility for sales representatives and administrators while reducing the need to search across separate records and processes.

Business Impact of Salesforce Automation for Real Estate
The project demonstrates how relatively focused Salesforce customizations can solve specific operational bottlenecks in a real estate sales workflow. Rather than replacing the existing Salesforce environment, the solution extended it with targeted automation and a purpose-built property visualization component.
