By the numbers: In a 2024 secret-shop of 25+ US brokerages (100+ online inquiries on median-priced listings, weekday business hours), nearly half (47%) of online property inquiries got no response at all; the average response time was 8 hours 17 minutes.

The five workflows every industry shares

The same five run in all 27 industries. What changes for real estate is the overlay: the records, the stages and the words. How it works.

The Real Estate overlay: Clients, Transactions, Prospects, Listings, Showings. Stages: New Lead → Pre-Qualified → Showing Scheduled → Offer Submitted → Under Contract → Closed.

Intake and triage

Every call, text, email and form becomes a prospect on the client's record, with who, why and the next step. A fixed ladder of rules sorts it before any model is asked.

Touches: Opens the transaction at New Lead.

Follow-up

Moves each transaction forward and writes down why each move happened. Chases the transactions that have gone quiet, and stops when a person says stop.

Touches: New Lead to Closed, one stage at a time.

Scheduling

Books the visit, call or appointment on the calendar and on the transaction, sends the confirmation and the reminder, and reschedules when the client asks.

Touches: The calendar and the transaction.

Quoting

Prepares the quote from your price book or template, sends it once a person approves it, and follows up until it is answered.

Touches: Prospects and the transaction.

Reporting

Each day, what each agent did and what it proposed, built from the log of every action it took. Nothing is reported that was not recorded.

Touches: The record, read back to you.

Workflows specific to Real Estate

Real automation workflows — your agents work in the tools your real estate business already uses, through each tool's own connection or in the browser, and record every result in your CRM.

Lead Qualification & Follow-Up

AI responds to new leads within 60 seconds via SMS/email, qualifies their budget and timeline, and schedules showings — all while you're in appointments.
