Why Import Google Contacts into Your CRM
Many agents already have hundreds of contacts stored in their Google account. Importing these contacts into the Real Geeks CRM allows you to manage them alongside your website leads in one centralized place.
Benefits of importing your Google Contacts include:
-
Keep your Sphere of Influence connected to your real estate business
-
Organize your entire contact database in one system
-
Track conversations and follow‑ups with notes and activity history
-
Adding contacts to workflows, saved searches, or email campaigns
Once your contacts are inside the CRM, they function just like any other lead in the system.
How to Import Google Contacts
Follow these steps to import contacts from Google into your CRM:
-
In the CRM navigation menu, click Leads.
-
Select Import
-
Click Google Contacts.
-
Log in to your Google account. If you are already logged in, you may simply select your account.
-
Follow the prompted steps to connect Google to your Real Geeks CRM
Your Google Contacts will then be automatically imported into your CRM.
What Happens After Your Contacts Are Imported
You will receive an email confirming when the import has finished. From there, you can review the import results, including:
-
Full Leads: These are contacts who have their First and Last name, email address, and phone number
-
Partial Leads: These are contacts who are missing any of their Name, Email or Phone Number
-
Rejected Leads: These are contacts who were rejected for one reason or another. A description will be provided that informs you about why the lead was not imported
Once the import is complete, agents can begin working with these contacts inside the CRM by:
-
Create automated listing alert emails with Market Reports or Saved Searches
-
Adding notes about their relationship or conversations
-
Assigning statuses or tags
-
Adding them to workflows or follow-up plans
-
Creating saved searches for property alerts
This makes it easy to turn an existing contact list into an active real estate database.
