Composite case studies grounded in real industry benchmarks.
Independent brokerage, 8 agents, 200 Zillow leads/month. Before: Lead response averaged 4 hours; conversion 1.8%. After: Round-robin routing + 60-second auto-text + 14-day nurture.

Solo agent + virtual TC. Before: Spent ~22 hours per transaction on document/coordination work. After: TC + dotloop workflow automation. Result: Per-transaction time dropped to ~7 hours; able to handle 28 transactions/year vs. 15 prior (Transactly TC).
12-agent team using FUB. Before: Agents closed ~3 leads/agent/month. After: CRM-driven 8-hour automated touch cadence + assigned-agent SLAs. Result: Each agent closed 5 additional leads/month; team GCI up 22% over 6 months (Follow Up Boss ROI).
