Property Shell vs Spark
Property Shell and Spark (spark.re) are both CRMs built for selling new developments, not adapted from a general sales CRM. Property Shell stays focused on the sales CRM: leads, stock, contracts and deposits, with settlement risk scoring, a built-in interactive site map, AI lead scoring and a portal for channel agents. Spark is a Vancouver company focused on North America, and we found no Australian customers or local support listed on its website.
Property Shell and Spark, at a glance
Both are built for property developers and project marketers selling off the plan. Property Shell adds hands-on support from a team that knows project sales, from launch to the last lots. The right choice depends on which parts of the sale you want inside the CRM and which you are happy to run through partner tools.

Where Property Shell differs
Lead management that ranks every enquiry
Enquiries from your website, landing pages and Meta lead ads land in one place and are followed up by email, SMS or WhatsApp. The scoring model weighs up to 50 lead metrics, from calls and emails to meetings and last contact, and you can change the weights. Your team calls the purchasers closest to signing first.
Sales optimisation →Support from people who know project sales
Property Shell is focused on one job: the CRM that runs project sales. Training and implementation are done by people who know project sales, and the same team stays with you from launch through to the final 10 to 15% of lots.
Integrations built around your setup
Property Shell connects to Outlook, Gmail, Mailchimp, Aircall, Xero, DisplaySweet, Meta lead ads and your project websites, and its Inbound Leads API brings enquiries from landing pages, ad platforms and other systems straight into the CRM. When a project needs a connection that isn't there yet, the Property Shell team can build it for you.
Plans you can read before the first call
Property Shell has four plans, each with a clear list of what it includes: Essential, Performance, Advanced and Enterprise. There are no setup fees, billing is monthly and implementation usually takes 3 to 4 weeks. Support grows with the plan, from email support to a dedicated account manager and SLA-backed support.
A portal for channel agents
SeeShell, an optional add-on, gives channel agents their own login. They browse your developments, see project details, imagery and available stock, and reserve lots, and every reservation lands in the CRM. Spark uses its own request forms to create, accept and allocate lots with agents and purchasers.
Settlement risk you can see early
Every transaction gets a settlement risk score, and purchaser and valuation inspections are booked with automatic reminders. After settlement, defects are logged with photos through the defects period.

A site map that is part of the CRM
Property Shell's interactive map shows live availability for each lot, in the display suite and on your project website, with access set by role. Teams that already use DisplaySweet can connect it too. Spark connects to visualisation partners for the same job.
Interactive mapping →Spark lists KYC/AML checks and DocuSign e-signature on its website. Property Shell tracks deal terms and dates in the CRM.
Spark's Events Hub handles invitations, RSVPs and attendance.
Spark added warranty and homeowner care when it acquired Juniper in 2024.
Pricing and implementation
Property Shell prices each customer individually, per user or per project, based on the plan, the modules you need and the size of your projects, and bills monthly with no setup fees. The four tiers and their features are on the pricing page. Implementation typically takes 3 to 4 weeks, and you can roll out one module or one project at a time.
Spark sells through a demo and offers guided onboarding and data migration. Its website does not give a price or an implementation timeline; its Capterra listing shows one plan from CA$100 per month (checked October 2026), which may not reflect what larger projects pay today.

Trusted by leading property teams
We power projects of every scale.
“Setting up business systems from scratch is usually a painful process, but with Property Shell we were live in weeks, and the full setup, including property portal integrations came at no extra cost. The equivalent Salesforce implementation would have run into six figures before we could even start managing leads. We've since asked for things well beyond what most agencies would need and Lloyd's team has delivered every one of them.”
“Property Shell is an incredibly valuable platform that our sales and marketing teams rely on every day. From capturing and managing lead information through to tracking sales conversions, it provides everything we need to efficiently manage the customer journey from enquiry to settlement.”
“Property Shell has delivered returns we hadn't even anticipated. What we save in time and resources every month far exceeds the cost of the platform. We wish we had made the switch sooner."
“Property Shell has become the central hub for all of our project activity. Every team member knows exactly where things stand, deadlines are met and nothing gets missed. It's the backbone of how we run our developments."
“McGrath Projects had been looking for a bespoke solution for our CRM needs and had considered several ‘off the shelf’ options. We then met the team at Property Shell. They went to great lengths to understand our business – particularly the journey both buyers and developers take when marketing a project ‘off the plan’. From onboarding through to ongoing support, the Property Shell team has been exceptional."
