What fields should a Philippine real estate lead capture form have?

Minimum: name, mobile number, email, property interest (or 'I have a question'), and a consent checkbox under RA 10173. Optional: timeline (immediate, 3 months, 6+ months), budget range, and preferred contact method (call, SMS, email). Shorter forms convert more leads; longer forms qualify better. Most brokers should start with shorter and use follow-up calls for qualification.

Should real estate forms ask for budget?

Asking for budget upfront reduces form completion by 20–30%. For developer microsites where lead volume is critical, skip the budget field. For brokers handling high-value listings (₱15M+) where lead quality matters more than volume, include a budget range with broad brackets (Under ₱5M, ₱5M–₱10M, ₱10M–₱20M, Over ₱20M).

How fast should brokers follow up on website leads?

Industry research shows that lead-to-call response time correlates strongly with conversion rate. Within 1 hour: highest conversion. Within 24 hours: acceptable. After 24 hours: significant drop. For developer microsites with high lead volume, automated email response within minutes plus sales agent call within 4 hours is the standard.

Should real estate forms include phone numbers as required fields?

Yes for most brokers. Email-only leads are significantly harder to convert than leads with phone numbers. Make the phone field required and the email optional, or both required. Filipino property buyers expect SMS or call follow-up — email-only follow-up has low response rates.

Lead capture forms that actually work for PH real estate

A real estate website without a working lead capture system is a brochure. Every page view that doesn’t produce a contact is a wasted impression. This article covers what Philippine real estate lead capture should look like — for both broker websites and developer microsites.

The short answer

Lead capture forms on Philippine real estate websites should ask for name, mobile number, email, and basic property interest. Include a Data Privacy Act consent checkbox. Route submissions to email plus a CRM or simple lead tracking spreadsheet. Follow up by phone or SMS within 4 hours — sooner if possible.

What fields actually convert

Required fields:

Name
Mobile number
Property interest (which listing, which unit type, or “I have a question”)
Consent checkbox (RA 10173)

Optional but useful:

Email
Preferred contact method (call, SMS, email)
Timeline (when are you planning to buy)
Budget range (for high-value listings)

Don’t ask for:

ID numbers
Income proof
Personal financial details

These are appropriate during the qualification call, not in the website form.

Where forms should appear

Listing pages: Every property page should have a contact form for that specific property. Pre-fill the property name in the form so the broker knows which listing the inquiry is about.

Contact page: A general inquiry form for “I’m not sure which property yet” buyers.

Sticky CTAs: A button or banner that floats on every page, opening a contact modal. Useful for visitors deep in content who want to inquire without scrolling.

Exit intent: A popup that triggers when a visitor’s mouse moves toward closing the tab. Higher conversion than passive forms but can feel aggressive — test before deploying.

Form follow-up

The form is the start of a workflow, not the end:

Auto-response email and SMS within minutes confirming the inquiry was received
Sales agent assignment based on property, area, or rotation
Phone call within 4 hours during business hours, sooner if possible
Email follow-up if phone goes unanswered
CRM record with notes after every contact attempt

For solo brokers, automate the first step (auto-response) and handle 2–5 manually. For larger brokerages and developer microsites, a CRM (HubSpot, Zoho, Salesforce) automates assignment and tracking.

Data Privacy Act requirements

Every lead capture form must include:

An unchecked consent checkbox
Clear text explaining what consent is being given (“I consent to webdesigner.ph collecting and using my personal information to respond to my inquiry and follow up about real estate opportunities, as described in the Privacy Policy”)
A link to your Privacy Policy

Pre-checked boxes do not constitute valid consent under RA 10173.

Budget

Lead capture forms are included in the standard Business tier website build. CRM integration adds ₱15,000–₱30,000 to the project cost depending on the CRM platform and integration depth.
