Auto-pop when customers call in

Incoming calls trigger instant customer records on screen. No searching, no delays - you know who's calling before you answer.

Every call is automatically transcribed, summarised with action points and logged to the customer record. No manual notes, no missed details.

Click-to-dial from anywhere

Call any customer straight from their CRM record, on any device - a small feature but guaranteed to save your team hours per year inputting numbers manually.

Every call - answered, missed or transferred - syncs automatically to the CRM record, so anyone on your team has the full picture before they pick up.

What This Means

1 hour saved per agent per day.

On-Hold Marketing

Callers waiting? Make it work for you

Turn Hold Time Into Selling Time

Run Seasonal Campaigns

Send us your seasonal offer or new listing to promote, and we'll have it live - no engineer visit, no waiting around.

Fewer Hang-Ups

Well-produced hold content genuinely makes waiting feel shorter, so fewer callers give up.

Customer Result: A caller on hold heard one of our client's featured listings - and ended up viewing (and buying) a property £35k more expensive than the one they'd originally called about.

Our Value

Whole-of-market.
The right fit, not just our fit.

We're the only telecoms provider in the UK not tied to one system or one manufacturer.

CRE Group whole-of-market telecoms for estate agents

Consultation, Not Sales

We'll recommend whatever system fits, not whichever one we're tied to.

Your Contract's With Us, Not The Hardware

If a better system launches mid-contract, we switch you to it.

One Relationship, Whole Market

No chasing different vendors every time something goes wrong.

Whole of market phone systems - Webex, Yealink, 8x8, CallSwitch

We can buy you out of your existing agreement.

Because we're whole-of-market, our suppliers want more customers on their platforms - and they fund us to buy people out of existing contracts to make that happen. That cost never gets passed on to you.

Up To 2 Years Covered

We can cover the remaining cost of your current contract, so a bad deal doesn't have to run its course.

Zero Cost To You

The buyout is funded through our supplier relationships, not added to your new contract.

Switch Now, Not At Renewal

No need to wait out another year (or two) on a system that isn't working for you.

The Process

From first call to go-live, here's exactly how it works.

Discovery

A quick, no-pressure call to understand your agency. We find out what's working, what's not, and what actually matters to you.

Consultation

One of our specialists talks you through the right fit for your agency - a conversation, not a generic sales pitch.

Decision

You choose your system and your term - 3, 5 or 7 years - with everything costed and explained before you sign anything.

Build and Configuration

Your new connection is ordered and configured in the background, including failover if you've added it, all tested before your line changes.

Testing & Training

We test your connection thoroughly before cutover, then talk you through your new setup - including failover - so there's nothing to figure out on your own.

Porting & Go Live

Your new connection goes live in a planned cutover, with your existing line kept active until the new one's tested and ready - so you're never left without service.

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.

Can one system cover multiple branches?

Yes - we set up shared call routing and reporting across branches, so every office works as one connected system with a single account manager overseeing it all.

How long does installation take?

Most agencies are live within four to six weeks of signing. The system and CRM integrations are built and tested in the background first, then your numbers port across in planned stages - so you're never without a working line. Your account manager gives you a dated plan up front.

Can I use the softphone app on my personal mobile?

Yes. The app runs on any iPhone or Android, and calls go through your business number - so your personal number stays private and callers only ever see the agency. You can switch it off outside working hours.

Is call recording GDPR compliant?

Yes, provided callers are told they're being recorded - which we handle with a short automated announcement. Recordings are stored securely in the UK, access is restricted to the people you choose, and you set the retention period so nothing is kept longer than it needs to be.

Do I need to buy new handsets?

Not necessarily. If your existing handsets are compatible we'll reuse them; if not, handsets are included in the package rather than bolted on. And because the softphone app turns any laptop or mobile into an extension, plenty of agents don't need a desk phone at all.

What happens to my calls if my broadband goes down?

They keep flowing. Calls automatically divert to the softphone app on your mobiles, and with our 4G/5G failover broadband your office connection switches over too - so an outage at the exchange doesn't mean a silent office.

Will my phone system work with SoGEA or full-fibre broadband?

Yes - VoIP is designed for exactly these connections. We supply and set up the broadband alongside the phone system so the two are matched, and we'll tell you honestly if your current line isn't up to the job.

What happens when the PSTN switches off in 2027?

Nothing, if you're on VoIP - you're already on the technology the network is moving to. If you're still on traditional lines, the switch-off means they'll stop working, so it's worth moving before you're forced to. We'll port your existing numbers across so nothing changes for your customers.
