Estate agency CRM provider Alto has achieved its strongest quarter in sales, it has been revealed.

During the first three quarters of this year, Alto delivered “standout” growth in sales, deal size and overall performance, it said.

Riccardo Iannucci-Dawson, Chief Executive of Alto, said: “Agencies are under pressure to do more with less, and the ones growing fastest are the ones rethinking where their team’s time actually goes.”

AI innovation

He explains: “We’ve spent 18 months making Alto meaningfully better – faster, smarter, with advanced compliance and reporting that support how modern agencies operate.

“With AI innovation also helping agents work much more effectively, firms can really see the difference, and that’s what’s playing out in these results.”

January, February and March all delivered record-breaking performances individually, according to Alto.

However, March marked Alto’s strongest month on record, with the company breaking its sales record twice within the same quarter.

It said this was a “clear signal” of sustained demand and accelerating growth.

Year-on-year performance remained strong, with the first quarter up 25% compared to the same period in 2025.

Customer outcomes

Alongside volume growth, Alto saw an 83% year-on-year increase in deal value, driven by larger, multi-branch companies consolidating onto a single platform.

That shift is already being seen in customer outcomes, Alto claimed.

For example, Galloways achieved 15% growth across sales and lettings after switching to Alto, driven by improvements in efficiency and visibility across the business.

Steve Carpenter, Director at Galloways, said: “Alto has helped us streamline how we work day to day and given us much better visibility across the business. That’s had a direct impact on our ability to win more instructions and grow.”
