Brown Harris Stevens Maximizes Agent Productivity With AI-Powered Cloze CRMCloze, an AI-based intelligence provider focused on the real estate market, announced today that Brown Harris Stevens (BHS), the premier privately held real estate brokerage, has successfully rolled out Cloze CRM as part of its market-leading BHSOne initiative. Within just six weeks, adoption of Cloze CRM has overachieved its initial targets, driven initially by a highly successful internal marketing campaign that itself used Cloze, and fueled further by agent-to-agent recommendations from early adopters. "We looked at many different CRMs, and Cloze gave us three clear reasons why it was the only partner for us," said Matthew Leone, chief marketing officer at Brown Harris Stevens. "First, there was no barrier to entry. We were amazed at how easy it was to log in, create an account, and get onboarded. Second, you can access all of its functionality through its mobile application-our agents are in front of their phones 100% of the time. And finally, the integration of artificial intelligence was a game changer. We've seen how it can as a virtual assistant suggest the proper prospecting steps and touchpoints with everyone in their sphere of influence leading to a higher engagement rate." In contrast to typical CRMs that expect agents to constantly update and log their activities and contacts into the system, Cloze silently manages that busywork in the background without disrupting an agent's daily workflows. Through the insights extracted from agent communications, Cloze CRM lags action items and due dates and recommends how, when, and why to reach out to new and previous clients, highlighting special events, birthdays, or anniversaries, for example, or bubbling up contacts that could benefit from outreach. "Cloze is by far the best CRM I have ever used," described Holly Smith, an agent affiliated with BHS' Palm Beach office. "The AI features are amazing. It reminds you each morning who you need to follow up with, logs and attaches all calls and emails to a contact, and even writes emails for you with AI." As part of an internal use case, BHS' marketing team used Cloze to increase email engagement rates from 10-20% to 80-100% by delivering customized, relevant content to each of the brokerage's 2,500+ agents. Such customization was made possible because Cloze combines a robust template library with automated processes and AI-generated insights, making it simple to provide highly customized content relevant to each recipient and to do so at scale. The result has been the ability to reach more people in less time with more authenticity. "Our goal was to provide a tool that would make our agents and managers more efficient in communicating while helping them keep on top of tasks, even as they're managing multiple deals at different points in the home-buying process," explained BHS CTO Chris Reyes. "Cloze not only met those expectations, but exceeded them."
