AI Customer Communication and Portfolio Assistant for Real Estate Agencies
An AI assistant for real estate agencies is a system that automatically answers location, price range, floor area and mortgage eligibility questions about listings in your portfolio, clarifies the enquirer's requirements and passes them to an agent as a qualified lead. It allows agents to spend their time on conversations with genuine buying or renting intent.
Common Challenges in Real Estate Businesses
- Most messages received when a listing goes live are not serious buyers, and agent time is wasted.
- The same portfolio questions (floor area, floor, service charge, mortgage eligibility) repeat constantly.
- Messages arriving while the agent is out on viewings are answered late and the enquirer goes to another agency.
- Requests arriving in the evening and at weekends are missed.
- There is no way to measure which listing attracts the most interest.

Data Protection and Regulatory Note
The price, floor area and property characteristics given in real estate listings must be accurate. The system answers only on the basis of the portfolio data uploaded by the agency and does not speculate on matters with no counterpart in the knowledge base. In addition, because enquirers' contact details constitute personal data, the retention period and purpose of processing must be stated in the privacy notice.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is portfolio information kept current?
Portfolio data can be uploaded to the system as documents or integrated via API with your CRM and portfolio management system. When a live integration is established, listings that are sold or let are deactivated automatically. With the document upload method you need to determine the update frequency.
Does the system negotiate on price?
No. The system shares only the price information determined and uploaded by the agency. Negotiation, discount and special condition discussions are handed over to an agent. This boundary is defined during setup.
How does it identify a serious buyer?
The system asks the enquirer clarifying questions such as budget range, preferred area, required features and timeline. This information is passed to the agent as a summary; the agent begins the conversation with the information ready and spends their time on qualified leads.
Can multiple agents' calendars be managed?
Yes. A separate calendar can be defined for each agent and viewing appointments are scheduled according to that agent's availability. Routing rules based on area or portfolio can also be defined.
Who is responsible if listing information is given incorrectly?
The system answers only on the basis of the data uploaded by the agency and does not speculate on matters with no counterpart in the knowledge base. Keeping portfolio data accurate and current is therefore the agency's responsibility. The system is configured to hand over to an agent for questions where no data exists.
