Lead buying and acquisition for residential real estate
Portals report on what they control, which is delivery. A brokerage is paid on closings that land months later, often under a different agent's name than the one the lead was assigned to. Until those two ends are joined in one system, source selection is decided by whichever invoice looks most reasonable, and the cheapest lead keeps winning a comparison that has nothing to do with revenue.

What usually breaks
Before anything gets built.
The same failures recur across residential real estate. Strygon maps the specific system before proposing anything, but these are the ones worth checking for.
Rotation beats the clock
A lead bought from Zillow or Realtor.com is worth most in the first minutes. Round-robin distribution hands it to whoever is next up rather than whoever is available, which produces a callback the following morning to someone already working with an agent.
The book sits untouched
Most of a brokerage's future business is already in the CRM as past clients, sphere, and old inquiries. Nothing reaches them, because reaching them is an agent's task rather than the system's job, and tasks lose to whatever is closing this week.
Contract to close runs on memory
Between accepted offer and closing there are contingency dates, disclosures, and a lender. The tracking is a coordinator's calendar and a paper file, so a missed date becomes a delayed closing nobody saw coming.
The approach
What Strygon does about it.
Acquisition, aimed at those failures specifically rather than at a generic checklist.
What gets built
Concrete deliverables.
Everything in acquisition, applied to how residential real estate actually runs.

Send the situation in a paragraph. Strygon comes back with a read on what’s likely wrong and what it would take to fix, before anyone talks about price.
Most builds start withleads dying in an inbox., three half-finished pipelines., follow-up nobody owns., numbers that never agree., four vendors blaming each other.
