Case Study: How a Mid-Sized Team Boosted Listings 35% with Fello's Lead Enrichment

January 9, 2026 written by Admin

A mid-sized real estate team saw listings jump 35% in just six months after using Fello’s AI-powered lead enrichment. By enriching their CRM data with property insights, contact details, and seller readiness scores, they automated follow-ups, focused on eager sellers, and ran operations more smoothly. This piece walks through what they did, the results, and the lessons you can use today.


Introduction

Getting more listings keeps most real estate teams alive and growing. Yet, when data is scattered, follow-ups happen late, and communication feels off, the pipeline can dry up fast.

Here’s how one mid-sized real estate team turned quiet data into a steady listing machine using Fello, a trusted AI-powered CRM add-on that enriches contacts, predicts seller intent, and automates personalized outreach with ease.

With Fello’s Data Enrichment workflows and CRM syncing, the team revived stale leads, nurtured better relationships, and built a system that kept running—even when they were busy.

According to Realtor.com’s marketing insights, top real estate teams rely on automation and smarter CRM systems to win more listings. This team proved the point, growing listings 35% and cutting manual follow-up time nearly in half.


The Challenge: A Bottlenecked Lead Pipeline

Before using Fello, the team faced headaches familiar to many real estate groups:

  1. Data Everywhere: Contacts were spread across various tools, missing key info like property details and histories.
  2. Manual Follow-Ups: Agents had to guess which leads deserved their time.
  3. Low Conversion: Despite solid lead flow, few became listings due to uneven nurturing.
  4. No Predictive View: They couldn’t see who might sell soon or how to prioritize.

At some point, leadership realized the problem wasn’t the number of leads—it was how they handled them. The team needed a smarter way to enrich contact data and point agents in the right direction.


The Fello Solution: Turning Data into Listings

Fello’s AI-based lead enrichment turned out to be the missing piece. Once linked with their CRM, Fello automatically pulled in property facts, past listings, and homeowner equity details for every contact.

1. Data Enrichment for Sharper Targeting

Fello’s Data Enrichment added missing fields like full addresses, ownership records, and home equity values. Suddenly, the team could spot homeowners sitting on high equity and likely to sell soon.

That mirrors findings from JLL’s AI report, which found that AI-based systems drive better predictions and faster workflows. For this crew, that insight gave them a strong edge.

2. CRM Integration that Keeps Work Simple

Through Fello’s CRM integrations, all the enriched data synced right into their CRM, creating a one-stop hub for managing listings.

Agents could sort leads by readiness, monitor activity, and launch custom drip campaigns—all without hopping between tools. The team followed an “integration-first” idea similar to what Realtor.com’s technology guide recommends: let tech do the heavy lifting so agents can focus on selling.

3. Smarter Lead Management with Predictive Scoring

Using Fello’s Lead Score feature (see our blog), the team added another layer of intelligence. Each lead’s score reflected engagement and intent, helping agents decide who to contact first.

By blending enrichment and scoring, they clearly saw which leads were hot, saving both time and energy while improving response quality.

4. Automated Seller Nurture Campaigns

After enrichment and scoring, Fello helped segment homeowners for automated, personalized outreach triggered by their selling likelihood.

Automation unlocked hours in the day and brought smoother, better-timed conversations. As Realtor.com’s insights on AI workflows point out, automation can make scaling look easy—and that’s exactly what happened here.


Results: 35% More Listings with Faster Conversions

After six months using Fello, the numbers spoke volumes:

  • 35% more listings overall
  • 40% quicker lead-to-listing conversions
  • 50% fewer hours spent on manual data work
  • An 18% drop in cost per converted lead

Agents said they finally had a clear view of their pipelines. Fello’s predictive insights told them exactly who to reach out to and when.

A team leader put it simply:

“We’ve stopped chasing cold leads. Fello gives our agents the clarity and confidence to focus where it counts.”

Their success mirrors what’s described in How to Get More Seller Leads: A 5-Step Guide for Realtors, where qualified leads and steady follow-up prove to be key drivers of growth.
