One of the biggest problems Century 21 Australia faced as a Real Estate network is being able to legitimately engage with the ‘buyers of tomorrow’, and indeed, any potential customers that are currently not involved in either buying or selling a home.

So we came up with the idea to give them a social space with interesting content, to engage with potential customers – start talking to tomorrow’s home buyers. We’re not talking letter-box drops of DL fliers here, but a real way to engage with people and to get them coming back for more.

A revolutionary property game

The game allows you to buy, sell and manage properties of your choice. Property Mogul allows you to build your property empire with the help of virtual agents from your local Century 21 office.

Aspects of the game

Property Mogul gives you the opportunity to purchase properties in wealthy beachside and middleclass suburbs, along with outer rural suburbs. Your property can increase or decrease in value depending on whether you choose to renovate your property or not, which ultimately affects your net worth. The game allows you to release your inner Property Mogul, compete with friends and build your property empire!

Trillions of dollars!

A great aspect of the game allows you to connect Property Mogul with your social networks; you are able to post achievements and awards on social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter. The more people you share with through social media, the higher your ranking on the overall top performers leader board.

At the time of posting this case study, the Australian game has seen over 2.5 trillion in property transactions. We have also built a game for the Canadian market, and soon to launch Property Mogul USA!

The problem
HubSpot alone was not enough

On its own, HubSpot’s standard Company and Contact structure was not enough to support these requirements. HubSpot also fell short in supporting Achieve’s other main service offering – the provision of accommodation for Service Users.

Given the complexities of the structure of their business and their business information, Achieve was beginning to consider other CRM platforms – that is, until we introduced HubSpot Custom Object configurations.

Problem 1:

Achieve’s Service Users rely on other individuals, from family members to external service providers to assist them with decision-making relating to services provided. Given the pre-existing 1:1 contact relationship in HubSpot, it wasn’t possible for Achieve to keep track of those relationships.

The problem
HubSpot alone was not enough
Sales and Marketing teams were already familiar with HubSpot for basic lead tracking and marketing activity. They could perform tasks quickly and easily, however, the out-of-the-box data structure was a deal-breaker. It seemed like other systems such as Salesforce and Dynamics would be able to solve for their needs. And until HubSpot launched its Custom Object functionality, this was true.

We were able to demonstrate various HubSpot Custom Object in-portal configurations for Achieve so they could find the structure that worked for them. During these demonstrations, it became clear that HubSpot with two additional Objects (Service Users and Accommodation) would fit their data structure requirements.
