Closing CRM Docs
Everything you need to run your real estate business from your iPhone. New here? Start with Getting Started.
Getting Started
Closing CRM uses Sign in with Apple - no passwords, no separate account. Download the app, sign in, and your 14-day free trial starts immediately.
- Download Closing CRM from the App Store.
- Sign in with Apple. If you use Apple's private relay, the app will ask for an email so we can reach you about your account.
- Fill in Settings → My Details - your name, contact info, and brokerage. These power the
{agentName}-style wildcards in message templates. - Import or add your first client, then create a deal to start your pipeline.
Home & Dashboard
The Home tab is your morning briefing. It shows today's tasks, overdue follow-ups, and a snapshot of your active pipeline - including commission math adjusted for your broker split (set under Settings → Deal Settings).
- Today's tasks - follow-ups and to-dos due today, with counts in the section headers.
- Past due - anything you missed, so nothing slips.
- Deal cards - your active deals with progress through their key dates.
- Completing a follow-up action from the dashboard marks the task done automatically.
Clients
The Clients tab holds everyone you're working with - buyers, sellers, and leads.
- Add clients manually or pull them straight from your phone's contacts with the Import Contact button.
- Additional contacts - attach co-buyers, vendors, and cooperating agents to a client record, picked right from your phone.
- Statuses - track where each relationship stands, including "Property listed" for listing-side clients.
- Lead imports - leads arriving via ClosingIO show their source details on the client record.
- Notes - every client has a notes section for context that doesn't fit a field.
- Archive - archive past clients to keep the list clean; restore them anytime.
Deals & Pipeline
The Deals tab is your pipeline. Each deal tracks clients, key dates, commission, and showings in one place.
- Deal progress - the date tracker shows where each transaction stands at a glance.
- Co-buyers - add a second buyer to the deal.
- Quick contact - long-press a client on the deal view to call, email, or text them.
- Commission - set your broker split once in Settings and every deal's math reflects it.
- Showings - the deal's showings section lists recent showings with a See All view for the full history.
- Archive - completed and dead deals move to the archive without deleting their history.
Showings
The Showings tab logs every property showing and ties it to the right client and deal.
- Log a showing - property, client, date, and notes.
- ShowingTime import - import showing activity (buyer and listing sides) instead of re-entering it.
- Context everywhere - showings appear on the client's record and inside the deal, so the full history travels with the transaction.
- Tap through - any showing row opens full showing details.
Message Templates
Templates are reusable texts and emails. Write once, personalize automatically with wildcards, and send in a couple of taps.
Tap a wildcard chip while editing to insert it at the cursor - it gets replaced with real data when you use the template. Groups include:
- Client -
{firstName}{lastName}{fullName}{phone}{email}{leadSource}{budget}{side} - Co-client -
{coClientFirstName}{coClientFullName}{coClientPhone}{coClientEmail} - Agent (you) -
{agentName}{agentFirstName}{agentLastName}{agentEmail}{agentMobile}{agentOffice}{agentCompany} - Property & lead -
{propertyAddress}{propertyCity}{propertyState}{propertyZip}{propertyMLS}{leadMessage}{minPrice}{maxPrice}{timeFrame} - Showing - showing-specific wildcards for scheduling confirmations.
Tasks & Reminders
- Follow-up reminders - set a follow-up on any client or deal and it lands on your dashboard when due.
- Daily digest - an optional email digest summarizes what's due so nothing gets missed.
- One-tap complete - finishing a follow-up action (call, text, email) completes the underlying task.
- Notifications - configurable under Settings → Notifications.
E-signature agreements
Closing CRM has built-in e-signature support - send agreements for signing and preview the PDFs in-app, then resend them when a client loses the thread.
ClosingIO Integration
Connect your closingio.com account under Settings → ClosingIO to sync leads and import showing activity (buyer and listing sides). New leads arrive with their source, message, price range, and timeframe intact - ready for templates and follow-ups.
iCloud Sync & Backup
Your CRM data lives on your device and syncs through your personal iCloud via Apple's CloudKit - we never see your client database. Every signed-in iPhone or iPad with the app gets the same data automatically.
- Make sure iCloud Drive and the app's iCloud toggle are enabled in iOS Settings.
- Data stays in your iCloud - delete the app's data via iOS storage settings to remove it completely.
- Backup options live under Settings → Backup.
