The closed-loop automation that returns
25 hours / week to a real estate founder.
Vertically integrated developers run on 7 marketing platforms, 3 spreadsheets, and Monday-morning panic. We unify the data, automate the reporting, and route every lead, so your team spends time on showings, not Slack threads. Wired to your CRM, not ours.
What the open loop is costing you.
The conservative numbers below are pulled from kratt's audit data and published industry research for real estate. Every leaky channel here is a competitor's win.
- · NAR 2024 Member Profile: 60% of real estate teams cite "manual reporting" as their #1 ops pain.
- · Make.com state-of-automation 2024: real estate is in the bottom quartile for marketing automation maturity.
- · kratt case study (2026): Bali developer cut Monday reporting from 3h to 0h.
Wired into the tools you already run.
Airtable as the cross-platform single source of truth. Make.com pulls from every marketing platform daily, normalises into Airtable, then a custom React dashboard reads via API. Lead webhooks from your CRM (Follow Up Boss, KvCORE, Compass) route to the right agent in <30 seconds.
Four playbooks shipping in week one.
Each playbook is shippable within scoped on the audit of kickoff. Most real estate clients start with the first two and add the rest in weeks 2–4.
Cross-platform marketing dashboard
Daily Make.com scenarios scrape GA4, GSC, Meta Ads, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, Mailchimp into one Airtable. Custom React dashboard reads via API. PDF report auto-generated every Monday. Cross-platform attribution stops being a manual fight.

7 marketing platforms unified, 3 hours/day saved at a Bali real estate developer
“We used to spend 3 hours every Monday pulling numbers from 7 platforms. Now the dashboard updates itself daily. Cross-platform comparison alone changed how we allocate ad budget.”
What it costs, without the dance.
Scoped on the free AI audit. We price against what the audit finds, so the quote reflects your actual stack and volume rather than a list rate.
Five things real estate operators ask first.
The questions every real estate prospect asks on the first call. Answers in writing so you can decide before booking.
Will this replace my marketing team?+
No. It replaces the manual data-pull work they currently spend 15+ hours a week on. They get those hours back for strategy, creative, and agent coaching, the work humans actually do better than software.
What if my CRM is custom or weird?+
If it has a webhook or REST API, we wire it. If it has neither, we wire it via a sync layer (Airtable + scheduled scrapes). Every CRM we have shipped against in real estate (Follow Up Boss, KvCORE, Compass, Sierra, custom Notion bases) has been integrable inside week 1.
How fast does it pay for itself?+
Typical mid-market developer hits payback in month 2. On the Bali engagement, the labor saved alone covered the monthly fee in week 1. The bigger upside (better ad spend allocation, faster lead response) compounds from there.
Do I own the dashboard + automations?+
Yes. Airtable bases, Make.com workspace, React dashboard repo, all in your accounts. Fire kratt, the system keeps running. The dashboard code is yours under MIT licence.
How long does deployment take?+
Kickoff starts with a workflow audit, system access and a dependency map. Then we build and test on shadow data and ship behind a feature flag, live with monitoring and a 30-day post-launch warranty. We agree the dates on the audit call.
