In the US real estate market the funnel is the visible piece. The real cycle runs through listing inventory or IDX search, portal and website leads, texts and calls, showings, offers — and when revenue is rent, leases, charges, and owner statements. Builders swap resale listings for unit mirrors and reservations. That is why a generic CRM and a vertical real estate platform do not play the same game, and a sales team is not the same buyer as a property manager.
There is a third group that is easy to confuse in a demo: the sliced stack. IDX website, dialer, transaction management, and texting are sometimes another product from the same brand — or a marketplace add-on. This yardstick marks a feature native only when it ships in the product under review. A sibling SKU, browser extension, or website chat button counts as missing — and the profile explains what lives next door.
Native messaging (SMS/dialer inbox on the lead, or WhatsApp Business API) is on the yardstick at full weight — US speed-to-lead lives in text and phone. Marketplace WhatsApp and personal-phone handoffs do not count.
A daily rotation re-reads official pages in this cut — one category per day — price, trial, new module, URL that disappears. The box at the top says what changed and what stayed the same, so you do not have to open eleven sites. The order only moves when the public source changes the product.
