Manage every lead from first contact to won instruction — and connect directly into deal progression the moment you win the business.

What this does

The Prospecting Pipeline gives you a live Kanban view of every lead across five stages — from first contact to won instruction. Book valuations in seconds, record outcomes, track loss reasons, and convert a won valuation into a live listing with a single click.

The prospecting pipeline

Every lead sits in exactly one of five stages at any time. The pipeline view shows you the full picture — how many leads are at each stage, who owns them, and where the focus needs to be today.

Prospecting pipeline Kanban with leads across five stages

The Prospecting Pipeline with 38 active leads. Filter by patch or agent to focus on specific areas. Toggle between Pipeline (Kanban) and List view.

Lead sources are tagged on every card so you can track where your best instructions are coming from:

Booking a valuation

From any lead in the Lead Captured column, hit Book to schedule the valuation. A simple modal opens — date, time, conducting agent, and any notes about the visit. One click books it and moves the lead to Valuation Booked automatically.

Book Valuation Appointment modal with date, time, agent and notes

The Book Valuation modal. Under 30 seconds to complete — date, agent, and any notes about the appointment.

Tip

Add notes to the booking about the vendor's situation — chain-free, probate, relocating — so the conducting agent is fully briefed before they arrive.

Valuation history

Every property maintains a complete valuation history. On the Valuations tab of any property record you can see every visit ever conducted — agent, date, price, property type, and Won/Lost outcome.

Property Valuations tab with multiple completed valuations and outcomes

Five valuations on 72 Forest Drive — one scheduled, four completed by different agents at different prices. Won and Lost outcomes recorded per visit.

Having the full history matters in vendor conversations. When a vendor challenges your recommended price, knowing what every previous agent valued the property at — and what the market has done since — gives you a much stronger position.

Winning and losing instructions

Winning an instruction

Hit Won on the valuation card. Enter the agreed price and assign the primary agent. Confirm Win — and the listing is created at Pre-Market stage instantly, with agreed price and agent already populated.

Recording a loss

Hit Lost and select the reason. Add context in the notes field. The lead is archived with its full history — ready for re-engagement if the vendor returns to market.

Win Instruction modal with agreed price and primary agent

Confirming a win. One click creates the listing at Pre-Market stage with the agreed price already populated — no double entry, no manual setup.

Why recording losses matters

Most agencies don't record losses consistently. XchangeHero makes it quick enough that there's no excuse not to.

Mark as Lost modal with structured reason dropdown

Recording a loss with a structured reason. The dropdown ensures data is reportable — not just free text sitting in a notes field nobody reads.

Structured loss reasons give you three things that free text never can:

Went with competitorWho is winning your business?
Price disagreementAre valuations out of line with market?
Vendor not readyRe-engage in 3–6 months
Property withdrawnMonitor for re-listing opportunity

Re-engagement tip

A lost lead with notes is a future instruction. When a vendor who went with a competitor comes back to market — and they often do — the full history of your interaction is right there. Use it.

From won instruction to live listing

The moment you confirm a win, XchangeHero creates the listing and activates the Pre-Market compliance checklist. The agreed price is pre-populated, the agent is assigned, and the deal progression pipeline starts immediately.

New listing at Pre-Market with price and compliance checklist

31 Queen Street — created instantly from the Win Instruction. The agreed price is already there, the agent is assigned, and the Pre-Market checklist tells the agent exactly what to do next to get the property to market.
