Google Workspace Review: Email, Documents and Calendar for Real Estate Agents

What is Google Workspace?

Google Workspace is Google's business productivity and collaboration suite: custom-domain email through Gmail, shared calendars, Meet video calls, Drive storage, and Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms and Sites. For real estate agents and teams it is the office layer underneath the rest of the stack, not a CRM, lead-generation or transaction-management tool.

ATG verdict

Google Workspace is infrastructure rather than a growth tool. Most stacks assume something like it is already in place.
