Never Miss a Showing Request Again

AI agents and multilingual specialists in 65+ languages handle property inquiries, schedule showings, and follow up with leads so your agents close more deals.

The short version: AI voice is $0.15 a minute and live agents start at $300 a month for 500 minutes. AI handles listing questions, showing requests and hours; a person handles a seller deciding who to list with, and anything that sounds like an offer. English and Spanish share one queue.

the part nobody prices in

You cannot answer the phone during the one activity that earns you money.

Nearly every profession can take a call at their desk. An agent's working hours are spent inside other people's houses — at a showing, at an inspection, at a closing — and taking a call in the middle of one is either rude or impossible.

Which means your phone is loudest at exactly the hours you cannot touch it. And the caller is not loyal: someone ringing about a sign they just drove past is calling the number on the sign, and if it goes to voicemail they open the app and call the next agent.

This is why the split matters more here than the price does. Listing details, showing requests and "is it still available" all have answers sitting in the MLS — automate those and they are handled in seconds while you are mid-tour. A seller weighing three agents does not get a bot; that one waits for you, and it is worth waiting for.

where AI should not be

The calls we will not put a bot on.

A seller deciding who to list with

This is the highest-value call your phone will ever take, and it is a relationship conversation from the first sentence. A person takes it, gets it to you fast, and does not try to qualify somebody who is interviewing you.

Anything that sounds like an offer

Numbers, terms, contingencies, deadlines. We take the details and reach you immediately; we do not discuss, confirm or characterise anything. There is too much that can be read as representation.

Legal, disclosure and fair-housing questions

Questions about who else has viewed, why a seller is moving, neighbourhood demographics, or anything a fair-housing complaint could be built on. A person recognises the shape of these and routes them to you rather than answering helpfully.

A client mid-transaction who is anxious

Days before closing, everybody is nervous. That call needs a human who can be reassuring without promising anything, and who knows to reach you rather than leave a note.

what comes off the call

A lead you can call back knowing something.

The difference between a message and a lead is whether you know what to say when you call back. These come off every call:

  • Name, callback number, and the best time to reach them
  • Buying or selling — and if selling, whether they have talked to other agents
  • The specific property or the sign address that prompted the call
  • Price range, and whether they are pre-approved or still shopping for a lender
  • Timeline — this month, this season, or "just looking"
  • Whether they have a current agent or an existing agreement in place
  • Area, beds, baths, and any hard requirement they volunteer
  • How they found the listing — sign, portal, referral, open house

It reaches you by SMS and into your CRM where we connect to it. The pre-approval and current-agent fields are the two that decide whether a lead is worth your next hour — we ask them early rather than at the end.

what it costs

Published rates, so you can do the arithmetic first.

Most vendors in this category quote by form. These are our published packages — not a quote, since language mix, hours and volume all move the number. The per-minute figures are simply the monthly price divided by the included minutes.

OptionPublished pricePer minuteWhat it's for
Dedicated agent from $5.80 per hour, per agent Your qualifying questions, your CRM, one team that knows your market area
AI voice $0.15 per minute Listing questions, showing requests, open house times, "is it still available"
Web chat $0.05 per session Portal and website enquiries that land while you are in a showing
Live shared team from $300 / month includes 500 min → ≈ $0.60/min Evenings and weekends — when buyers actually drive past signs
Live shared team from $650 / month includes 1,500 min → ≈ $0.43/min Listing-launch weeks and the days around an open house

Anything involving a person is a starting price. Two things move it: which languages you need, and how senior an agent the work actually requires — a bilingual agent handling refund authority is not the same hire as one taking bookings. AI voice and web chat are flat, because there is no hiring in them. And every model above is open to every business on this page: which one fits is a question about the shape of your volume, not about your industry.

Minimum engagement is half a seat — not a five-seat block. We also bill per resolved issue, from $1, where you pay nothing if it is not resolved; that model fits businesses where a customer problem actually gets solved on the call, not businesses where the call is intake.

who takes which call

Route by the cost of getting it wrong.

Most vendors sell you either an AI receptionist or a live answering service and leave the allocation to you. Since we run both, here is the split we would actually recommend — including the calls we think should never touch automation.

The callRoute toCost of getting it wrong
"Is 42 Maple still available?" AI A buyer who calls the next agent
Booking a showing into your calendar AI A lost showing
Open house times, square footage, HOA fees AI A lost lead
A seller deciding who to list with Human A listing — the single most valuable call you take
Anything that sounds like an offer Human A term repeated wrongly and treated as representation
Disclosure or fair-housing questions Human A complaint built on a helpful answer

setup

Five days to put the right person on it.

Five days is our normal window to staff a live account — that is five days to find and place an agent who fits your business, not five days of software setup. AI voice can go live sooner because there is no hiring step.

your existing software

It goes into your system, with a record of who said what.

We work inside the CRM, practice system or case tool you already run, rather than handing you a second inbox to check. Every contact leaves a timestamped record — who called, what was asked, what was said back, what was promised — because in your line of work the question six months later is not "did someone call" but "what exactly did we tell them". Tell us what you run and we will say straight whether we connect to it today.

when we're the wrong choice

Three cases where you should hire someone else.

  • You want an ISA who works your leads. We answer, qualify and hand off. We do not run follow-up campaigns, nurture cold leads or make outbound calls on your behalf. An inside sales agent is a different hire and does a different job.
  • You want someone licensed in your state. Our agents follow your script and collect facts. They do not advise on property, price, contracts or process — which is deliberate. If you need a licensed person answering, that is a team member.
  • Your business is entirely referral and repeat. If your pipeline comes from past clients and their friends rather than signs and portals, an answering service solves a problem you do not have. Put the money into staying in touch with the people you already sold to.

questions

What buyers ask before they sign.

How much does it cost?

AI voice is $0.15 per minute and web chat is $0.05 per session. Live agents start at $300 per month including 500 minutes — about $0.60 per minute — or from $5.80 per hour for a dedicated agent working only your account. The minimum engagement is half a seat, not a five-seat block.

How fast can you start answering our phones?

Five days is our normal window to staff a live account — that is five days to find and place an agent who fits your business, not five days of software setup. AI voice can go live sooner because there is no hiring step.

Do you answer in Spanish?

Yes, on the same number, with agents in our Bolivia and Nicaragua operation centres — native Spanish, not machine translation. English and Spanish share one queue, and we cover 60+ more languages if you need them.

Can I mix AI and live agents on one number?

That is the normal setup. You decide which call types go to AI and which reach a person, and you can change the split as your volume changes. Nothing about that decision is locked in at signup.

Can you qualify buyers before they reach me?

Yes — we ask your questions in your order. Pre-approval status and whether they already have an agent come early, because those two decide whether the lead is worth your next hour. Everything that clears your bar reaches you with the answers attached; everything else gets a courteous reply and a written summary.

Will your agents discuss price or terms?

No. They collect what the caller says and get it to you, without confirming, negotiating or characterising anything. In real estate almost anything said about price or terms can be read as representation, so the line we train is: take the facts, say the agent will follow up.
