In real estate the agent who answers first usually wins the deal. We automate instant lead response, WhatsApp follow-up, viewing scheduling, and CRM sync, so no enquiry sits unanswered overnight and your agents spend their time closing instead of chasing.
Real estate runs on speed-to-lead. A buyer browsing portals at 9pm will enquire on five listings at once, and the agency that replies first books the viewing. The other four get a reply the next afternoon, by which point the buyer has already booked elsewhere. When response is manual it is at the mercy of who is free, and evenings, weekends, and busy open-house days are exactly when enquiries spike and nobody is at a desk. Every hour an enquiry sits cold is commission quietly walking out the door.
The rest of the day disappears into admin that does not need an agent. Enquiries arrive scattered across portal inboxes, the website form, WhatsApp, and email, with no single view of who asked about what. Viewings get booked over a chain of calls and texts, then half of them no-show because nobody sent a reminder. The CRM goes stale because updating it by hand always loses to chasing the next deal. None of that is selling, and all of it is where automation pays for itself.
A deterministic pipeline that handles the repetitive work and hands agents only what needs them. The AI replies and drafts, the routing logic qualifies and decides.
The second an enquiry lands from a portal, your website, or WhatsApp, the system fires a personalised first reply that references the actual listing and asks the right qualifying questions. The lead is engaged while it is still hot, around the clock.
Enquiries from Rightmove, Zillow, Idealista, your site forms, and your inboxes are pulled into one structured lead record, so every agent sees who asked about what without hopping between five portal logins.
Timely, on-brand follow-ups on WhatsApp through the official Twilio API, from your business number. Buyers who go quiet get nudged, long-horizon sellers get drip-fed market updates, and nothing falls through the cracks because an agent forgot.
Qualified buyers get a booking link against the agent's live calendar, then automatic confirmations and reminders before the slot. Fewer no-shows, no more booking a viewing over six texts and a missed call.
Every lead, conversation, and viewing is written to your CRM such as HubSpot, Pipedrive, or Go High Level, and listing data stays current across the tools, so agents never work from a stale record and your pipeline reporting is real.
A serious buyer, a price question, a negotiation, anything that needs a person is routed to the right agent with the lead's full history attached, so the relationship and the judgment calls stay human.
Take a mid-sized brokerage fielding around 300 portal and website enquiries a month. By hand, the average first reply lands hours later and many evening enquiries are answered the next day. After wiring up instant response and WhatsApp follow-up, first reply drops to under a minute and every enquiry gets qualified the same day. If that lifts the share of enquiries that turn into a booked viewing even modestly, on deal sizes this large, the system pays for itself many times over in a single extra completion. The numbers below are illustrative ballparks, not a guarantee. We size the real ones for your desk in the audit.
Roughly 8 to 12 hours a week of manual enquiry-chasing and viewing-booking taken off the agents, redirected to selling.
We pick the right model for the conversation and connect the pipeline to your portals, CRM, calendar, and WhatsApp.

Within seconds. The moment an enquiry lands from a portal like Rightmove or Zillow, your website form, or a WhatsApp message, the system captures it and sends a personalised first reply referencing the specific listing. Speed-to-lead is the single biggest lever in real estate: the agent who replies first usually wins the conversation, and most enquiries go unanswered for hours when it is done by hand.
Yes. We pull enquiries from your listing portals, website forms, and inboxes into one place, push qualified leads and full conversation history into your CRM such as HubSpot, Pipedrive, or Go High Level, and keep listing data in sync so agents are never working from a stale record. The exact integrations depend on your stack, which we confirm in the free audit.
Only as far as you allow. The AI handles the instant acknowledgement, basic qualifying questions, and viewing scheduling, all on-brand. You decide what sends automatically and what waits for an agent. Anything sensitive, a serious buyer, a price negotiation, an unusual question, is routed to the right agent with the full context attached.
Yes, and for many markets WhatsApp is where deals actually move. We build the follow-up and viewing reminders on WhatsApp through the official Twilio API, so messages are compliant and come from your business number, not a personal phone that leaves when an agent does.
A focused first version is usually live in 7 to 14 days. We favour a phased rollout: instant lead response and qualification first, since that is where the money leaks fastest, then viewing scheduling, CRM sync, and the longer nurture sequences.
No. Smaller agencies feel the speed-to-lead problem most, because there is no overnight desk and enquiries arriving evenings and weekends sit until someone is free. Automating the instant reply and qualification is often where a small team gets the biggest return per hour saved, without hiring.
