How to Use ClickUp for Real Estate Agencies

ClickUp helps real estate agencies organize leads, listings, and transactions in one workspace so teams can collaborate, track progress, and close deals efficiently.

This guide walks you step by step through setting up your real estate workflows, views, and templates using the core features available in the platform.

Plan Your Real Estate Workflow in ClickUp

Before you build anything, outline the major processes your agency follows. Common workflows that fit well inside ClickUp include:

• Lead intake and qualification
• Buyer and seller pipelines
• Property listing management
• Transaction and escrow tracking
• Post-closing follow-up and referrals

Decide which processes deserve their own Spaces, Folders, or Lists so your workspace structure stays clear and easy to navigate.

Set Up Your Real Estate Space in ClickUp

Create a dedicated Space in ClickUp for your real estate agency operations. This keeps everything related to deals and clients in one place.

1. Create a new Space for the team that handles transactions.
2. Choose a color and icon that represent your real estate brand.
3. Add members who work on deals, listings, and client communication.
4. Turn on task features such as Custom Fields, Tags, and Custom Statuses.

Within this Space, you can create Folders for each major area of work.

Use ClickUp Folders for Key Pipelines

Set up Folders in ClickUp to divide your work into clear sections:

• Leads & Prospects: Capture new leads, referrals, and inquiries.
• Listings: Track your active, pending, and closed properties.
• Transactions: Manage the full contract-to-close process.
• Marketing: Plan open houses, campaigns, and content.

Each Folder can hold multiple Lists that represent more detailed stages or teams.

Create Real Estate Lists and Statuses in ClickUp

Lists in ClickUp represent specific workflows, such as a buyer pipeline or seller listings. Inside each List, use Custom Statuses to show where every task stands.

Example Buyer Pipeline List in ClickUp

For a buyer workflow, create a List called “Buyer Pipeline” with clear stages like:

• New Inquiry
• Qualified Buyer
• Tours Scheduled
• Offer Drafted
• Under Contract
• Closed
• Lost or On Hold

Use these statuses across tasks so your whole team reads the pipeline at a glance.

Example Listing Management List in ClickUp

For sellers and listings, create a List called “Active Listings” with statuses such as:

• Pre-Listing
• Signed Listing Agreement
• Prep & Staging
• Photos & Media
• On Market
• Under Contract
• Closed or Withdrawn

Statuses help you quickly see what needs attention, from staging to closing.

Track Key Property and Client Data with ClickUp Custom Fields

Custom Fields in ClickUp allow you to store all important details about leads, clients, and properties in one place instead of scattered spreadsheets.

Common Custom Fields for real estate include:

• Property address and unit number
• Buyer or seller contact information
• Budget or list price
• Commission percentage
• Listing type (buyer, seller, rental, commercial)
• Lead source or campaign
• Closing date and contingency dates

Use appropriate field types such as text, number, currency, drop-down, and date to keep your data accurate and filterable.

Use ClickUp Views to See Your Pipeline Clearly

Different views in ClickUp help your real estate team understand the same data from multiple angles.

Board View for Pipelines in ClickUp

Board view is ideal for visual pipelines. Each column represents a status stage.

• Drag and drop leads from New Inquiry to Qualified Buyer.
• Move listings from Pre-Listing to On Market to Closed.
• Spot bottlenecks when cards pile up in a single stage.

Board view helps agents quickly assess the health of your pipeline.

List View for Detailed Work in ClickUp

List view is best for sorting and filtering details.

• Sort by closing date to see urgent files.
• Filter by agent to review workload and assignments.
• Group by status or lead source to analyze performance.

Use this view for admin work, compliance checks, and reporting.

Calendar and Timeline Views in ClickUp

Use Calendar and Timeline views to keep track of deadlines and events.

• Plot inspection dates, appraisals, and contingencies on a calendar.
• Plan open houses and marketing schedules.
• Track closing timelines across multiple deals at once.

Visual timelines reduce the risk of missed deadlines and rushed tasks.

Collaborate with Your Team and Clients in ClickUp

Collaboration tools in ClickUp allow agents, coordinators, and managers to stay aligned without long email chains.

Assign Owners and Watchers

For each task, assign the primary agent and add relevant team members as watchers so they receive updates about changes and comments.

Use Comments, Docs, and Attachments

Keep communication and files tied to each transaction:

• Use comments for questions, updates, and quick decisions.
• Attach contracts, disclosures, photos, and inspection reports.
• Create Docs for checklists, process guides, and client information packs.

This keeps your entire deal history in one place for easy reference.

Standardize Work with ClickUp Templates

Templates in ClickUp save time and make your processes consistent across the agency.

Build a Transaction Checklist Template

Create a task template called “Buyer Contract-to-Close” or “Seller Transaction Checklist” with pre-built subtasks such as:

• Send contract for signatures
• Open escrow
• Schedule inspection
• Order appraisal
• Confirm loan approval
• Request closing disclosure
• Schedule final walkthrough
• Confirm keys and possession details

Apply this template to every new transaction so no step is missed.

Set Up List or Folder Templates in ClickUp

For repeatable projects, create List or Folder templates:

• Open house preparation checklists
• Marketing campaigns for new listings
• Onboarding sequences for new agents

Reusing these templates keeps your operations efficient as your business scales.

Optimize and Analyze Your Real Estate System in ClickUp

Once your workspace is running, review performance regularly and adjust your setup in ClickUp as your agency grows.

• Refine Custom Fields to reflect new services or markets.
• Update templates as regulations or best practices change.
• Use filters and views to review closed deals and lead sources.
