Automation for real estate agents & teams
Real estate lead follow-up automation that never lets a buyer go cold.
Real estate lead follow-up automation answers every portal, website and ad lead within minutes, routes it to the right agent, follows up after showings, and keeps long-term buyers and sellers warm until they are ready. It works with the CRM your team already uses, so agents spend time on conversations, not reminders.

Why agents lose leads they paid for
Portal and ad leads arrive at all hours, and buyers often inquire on several listings or with several agents. The agent who answers first, with a real answer about the property, usually gets the showing.
Most real estate leads are not ready to buy this month. Many are browsing, waiting on a lease to end or a house to sell. The value is in consistent, relevant follow-up over months, and that is exactly what busy agents cannot sustain by hand while also showing homes and negotiating offers.
Teams add another layer: leads must be routed fairly and quickly, and the team lead needs to know when a lead has not been contacted.
Real estate workflows we automate
01
Instant reply to portal and ad leads
Zillow, Realtor.com, Homes.com, website and Facebook leads get a personal text and email about the listing they asked about, within minutes.
02
Routing and escalation
Round-robin, by area or by price range, with escalation to the team lead if a lead is not contacted within your time limit.
03
Showing follow-up
After a showing, buyers get a follow-up asking for feedback and next steps; agents get the answer logged in the CRM.
04
Long-term nurture
Buyers and sellers who are not ready get spaced, relevant check-ins (new listings in their criteria, market updates) until they re-engage.
05
Seller lead handling
Home-value requests get a prompt reply and a booking link for a listing consultation.
06
Past client and sphere touches
Closing anniversaries, review requests and referral asks, sent on schedule.

Options agents and teams use
| Option | Where it works | What to watch |
|---|---|---|
| CRM action plans / smart plans | Drip texts and emails inside Follow Up Boss, kvCORE or Lofty. | Generic templates, and they do not answer the buyer's actual question; setup and upkeep fall on the team. |
| Inside sales agent (ISA) | Human calls and qualification. | Salary or per-lead cost; after-hours and weekends remain gaps. |
| AI texting add-ons | Conversational replies inside some CRMs. | Per-seat or per-lead pricing; limited control over routing and hand-off. |
| Custom automation (PURIST) | Specific replies, routing, escalation, showing follow-up and nurture on your CRM. | Best for agents or teams with steady lead flow. |

Not the right fit if…
- ✕You work almost only by referral with a small, well-served sphere.
Questions people ask
How fast should agents respond to real estate leads?
+
As fast as possible, ideally within minutes. Buyers often contact several agents; the first useful response tends to win the conversation.
Does it work with Follow Up Boss?
+
Yes. Follow Up Boss has an open API; we read new leads, send replies, update stages and log activity so your reporting stays complete. kvCORE, Lofty and others work similarly.
Will automated texts sound robotic?
+
They should not. Replies reference the listing and what the buyer wrote, follow your tone, and hand off to an agent as soon as the buyer engages.
What about texting consent?
+
Portal and ad lead forms typically include consent language; we honour opt-outs automatically and only text leads whose source allows it.
What does it cost?
+
From €890 per month with maintenance, monitoring and updates included, or €1,450 as a one-time deployment, with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
