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, inventory, contracts and deposits, with closing risk scoring, a built-in interactive site map, AI lead scoring and a portal for cooperating brokers. Spark covers the same core for teams in North America, with DocuSign contracting, KYC/AML checks and a broad partner network.

Property Shell and Spark, at a glance

Both suit developers of small and mid-sized projects, from condos and townhomes to single-family communities, and the sales teams that market them. Property Shell adds hands-on support from a team that knows project sales, from launch to the last units. 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 inquiry

Inquiries from your website, landing pages and Meta lead ads land in one place and are followed up by email, text 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 buyers closest to signing first.

Sales optimization →

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 new-development sales, and the same team stays with you from launch through to the final 10 to 15% of units.

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 inquiries 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.

CRM and lead management →

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.

See the plans →

A portal for cooperating brokers

SeeShell, an optional add-on, gives outside brokers their own login. They browse your developments, see project details, imagery and available inventory, and reserve units, and every reservation lands in the CRM. Spark uses its own request forms to create, accept and allocate units with brokers and buyers.

Closing risk you can see early

Every transaction gets a closing risk score, and buyer and appraisal inspections are booked with automatic reminders. After closing, defects are logged with photos through the defects period.

Closing management →

A site map that is part of the CRM

Property Shell's interactive map shows live availability for each unit, in the sales center and on your project website, with access set by role. Teams that already use DisplaySweet can connect it too. Spark connects to visualization partners for the same job.

A FAIR COMPARISON
Where Spark may suit you better
You want KYC/AML inside the contract flow.

Spark lists KYC/AML checks and DocuSign e-signature on its website. Property Shell tracks deal terms and dates in the CRM.

You run launch events with RSVPs.

Spark's Events Hub handles invitations, RSVPs and attendance.

You need homeowner care after handover.

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 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."

“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."
