Zurple

What Zurple does

Zurple is a SaaS client-generation platform founded in 2009 and focused exclusively on individual real estate agents and small brokerage teams in the United States. The platform combines three core products: Intelligent Lead Nurture (an automated, behavior-triggered email and SMS drip system built on 10+ years of optimized templates), a real estate CRM with pipeline management that tracks leads from capture to closing, and branded IDX websites with MLS data integration. Zurple layers three lead-generation sub-products on top: Auto Leads (exclusive internet buyer leads), Pipeline Boost (aged-lead reactivation against dormant CRM databases), and Auto Listings (Facebook and Instagram seller-lead generation with automated home-valuation campaigns).

The underlying technology integrates lead capture, behavior-based lead scoring, automated drip workflows, and a recommendation engine that selects which listing or content asset to surface based on the lead's funnel stage. Zurple's integrations include Zillow (the company was a launch partner in Zillow Tech Connect in 2014), Realtor.com, Zapier, and MLS data sources. Disclosed 2022 operational metrics are 85,000 leads delivered, 1.4 million messages sent, and $5.1 million in agent commissions facilitated through the platform.

Zurple's business model is hybrid: recurring subscriptions for the CRM, IDX site, and nurture platform, plus usage-based pay-per-lead pricing for Auto Leads and Auto Listings, plus one-time setup and onboarding fees. The go-to-market is an inside-sales motion with quote-based pricing and no self-serve signup. The company was acquired in August 2015 by Perseus Group, a division of Constellation Software Inc., and operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary within Constellation's real estate vertical. The company is headquartered in Hunt Valley, Maryland, with a stated employee count of 40+ and a firmographic range of 51-100.

Core offering

Zurple is a SaaS real estate client-generation platform that combines an automated, behavior-driven email and SMS lead-nurture engine, a smart CRM with algorithmic pipeline management, and a branded lead-capturing IDX website into a single monthly subscription. On top of the platform, Zurple sells a complementary lead-generation service (Auto Leads, Pipeline Boost, Auto Listings) that delivers exclusive buyer and seller leads in an agent's target markets and routes them directly into the same nurture pipeline.

Product overview

Zurple is a single unified real estate client-generation platform offered as one subscription, organized as a core platform plus integrated modules and a complementary lead-generation service. The core Client Generation Platform combines three tightly coupled modules—an Intelligent Lead Nurture engine (automated, behavior-driven email and SMS drip campaigns), a CRM with Automated Pipeline Management (algorithmic lead scoring and prioritization), and a Branded Lead-Capturing IDX Website (MLS-fed listings and lead capture)—that work together to convert leads into clients. On top of this platform, Zurple sells an optional Real Estate Leads service with three sub-products—Auto Leads, Pipeline Boost, and Auto Listings—that feed exclusive, market-targeted buyer and seller leads directly into the same nurture pipeline. All Zurple offerings sit inside Constellation Software's Constellation Real Estate Group, having been acquired in 2015.
