Our Story
CRE speaking on stage at The Guild of Property Professionals event in 2025

Become Estate Agent Specialists

Most businesses chase growth by going broader. We did the opposite, dropped everything except estate agents, and strove to be brilliant in one sector. And it's been up ever since.

CRE 5th year summer party

5th Year Summer Party

Five years, a lot of learning curves, and one very good excuse for a party. We celebrated with employees, customers, partners and family at a swanky rooftop bar in London.

The CRE founders on day one in 2021

CRE is Founded

Three fresh-faced lads (+ Taylor), no idea what they were letting themselves in for, and a shared conviction that telecoms could be done properly. The opening day dress code was clearly “your smartest blue skinny jeans.”

CRE's first office in 2022

Move into First Office

Not exactly a 10th floor Mayfair office - a box room with just enough space for three desks and a kettle. But it was ours, and it finally felt like CRE was a real thing now we had a place to call home.

First Ever Blitz Day

Once a quarter we have a day where we blast the phones and give out prizes for top performers. This was our first and it's been such a good way to drive growth and give back to our amazing team.

Rebrand to CRE Group

As a company, we pivoted from solely telecoms to a multi-service provider, offering all of the business hardware solutions that an estate agent would need.

Our Values

The V.A.L.U.E.S framework provide the principles that guide our business.

Value Over Volume

We'd rather have 50 customers who genuinely benefit than 500 who regret signing. We consult, we don't coerce.

Adapt, Always

Whole of market means we find the right system for you now - and switch you to a better one if it emerges. Your contract is with us, not the hardware.

Lead With Truth

Transparent pricing. Honest timelines. Real integration (not “click-to-dial and we'll call it integrated”). If we can't do it brilliantly, we'll tell you.

Unmatched Expertise

Transparent pricing. Honest timelines. Real integration. If we can't do it brilliantly, we'll tell you.

Earn Everything

Trust. Additional services. Renewals. Referrals. Nothing is automatic. We prove our value every single day.

Smash The Standards

We fix costs. We answer in 5 rings. We integrate fully. In an industry known for price hikes and lock-ins, the bar is higher here.

Estate Agent CRM Integration Checklist
Estate Agent CRM Integration Checklist

Your CRM should be the central nervous system of your agency - the place where every lead, every conversation, and every instruction lives and breathes. But most agencies are running theirs in isolation.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We've got you covered. Here are some quick answers to help you get the most out of CRE.

What is CRE Group?

CRE Group is a UK telecoms provider that works exclusively with estate agents. We combine whole-of-market VoIP phone systems, direct CRM integration, and AI-powered call intelligence (CRE Connect) with fixed pricing and flexible contracts, so you get transparent, expert support instead of a generic phone deal.

Why does CRE only work with estate agents?

Specialisation is the whole point. By focusing on one industry, we understand exactly how agents work, from valuation follow-ups to viewing bookings, and build tools that a generalist telecoms provider wouldn't prioritise.

Which CRM systems does CRE integrate with?

We hold direct integration with all the major agency CRM providers, including Alto, Reapit, Street, Loop, Rex, Dezrez, MRI, and Jupix, with auto-pop, auto-transcription, and click-to-dial built in as standard.

Does CRE lock agencies into long contracts?

No. You choose 3, 5, or 7-year terms, and we'll help you decide what's right for your business, not our commission. Your contract is with CRE, not the hardware, so if a better system emerges mid-contract, we'll switch you to it.

How long has CRE been operating?

CRE was founded in 2021 by Calvin, Ryan, and Elliot, three former telecoms employees who left to build a provider based on consultation instead of sales targets.

How do I apply for a job at CRE?

Check our Careers page for current open roles. We look for people who'd rather earn trust than chase a target, and offer perks like discounted broadband and mobile plans, incentive trips, and a learning and development budget.
