AI for real estate agents who are always mid-showing.
Leads arrive while you're walking a buyer through a kitchen. Contract deadlines pile up while you're at a closing. Our real estate automation answers new inquiries in moments, books showings, tracks every transaction date and keeps past clients warm, all inside the CRM and transaction tools you already use.
Where the time goes
Selling is the job. Everything else eats the day.
Agents, teams and brokerages tend to lose hours in the same three places. None of them need your license. All of them need doing.
leads
Speed and sorting
Portal inquiries, website forms, sign calls and social messages all expect a quick answer. Then someone has to figure out who is ready to buy this month and who is browsing for next year.
transactions
Dates and documents
Every contract brings a list of deadlines, signatures and documents from buyers, sellers, lenders and attorneys. Missing one is expensive, and tracking them by hand is tedious.
relationships
The long follow-up
Most of your future business comes from people you've already helped. Staying in touch for years, consistently and personally, is the first thing to slip when you're busy.
What we build
Real estate automation for agents and teams.
Built around your scripts, your CRM stages and your transaction process. You approve the templates; the agents handle the repetition.
Lead qualification and routing
The agent asks about timeline, price range, financing and areas of interest, then tags the lead and routes it to the right person on your team using your rules.
Showing scheduling
Buyers pick from your open times, showings land on the calendar with the address and notes, and confirmations and reminders go out on their own.
Transaction checklists and deadlines
Once a contract is executed, key dates become a checklist with reminders, and missing documents are requested from the right party before anyone has to chase them.
Listing description drafts
From your notes, the property details and photos, the agent drafts listing copy and social captions in your style. You edit and approve before anything is published.
Past-client nurturing
Home anniversaries, check-ins and useful updates go to past clients on a steady rhythm, so you stay the agent they think of when a friend asks for a referral.
Watch it work
A portal lead at 7:40 on a Saturday morning.
This is what a lead-response agent's activity log looks like. It replies, records, qualifies and books. When a buyer asks something that needs a licensed professional's judgment, it stops and hands the conversation to you.
Your CRM stays the single source of truth. The agent just keeps it current.
Example workflow
From accepted offer to closing table.
An illustrative example of transaction automation for a small team. The exact steps, dates and tools come from your own process and the contracts you use.
- 01
The executed contract lands
The fully signed contract is saved to the transaction in Dotloop or SkySlope. That is the trigger; nobody has to forward it anywhere.
- 02
Key dates are pulled out
The agent reads the contract and drafts the timeline: due diligence or inspection deadlines, financing and appraisal milestones, and the closing date.
- 03
You or your coordinator confirm
The draft timeline is shown side by side with the contract language it came from. A person confirms it before any reminder is scheduled.
- 04
Checklist and document requests go out
The checklist is created, and the buyer, seller, lender and closing attorney each get a clear request for the items they owe, with gentle follow-ups if they go quiet.
- 05
Reminders before every deadline
You get a heads-up ahead of each date, plus a short daily summary of what's due, what's received and what's missing across all your open deals.
- 06
After closing, the relationship continues
The client moves into your past-client nurture plan, a review request goes out at the right moment, and their home anniversary is on the calendar for next year.
Property managers
For property and vacation rental managers.
On the North Carolina coast, many management companies run long-term leases and vacation rentals side by side. Both run on a constant stream of requests, messages and hand-offs that follow predictable patterns, which makes them good candidates for automation.
- Maintenance requests
- Requests from the tenant portal, email or text are read, sorted by urgency and trade, logged against the right unit and sent to the right vendor. Anything that sounds like an emergency, such as active water or no heat, goes straight to a person.
- Tenant communication
- Common questions about rent, renewals, trash days or move-out steps get consistent answers from your own policies. Anything about disputes, deposits or lease terms is routed to your staff.
- Owner statements
- Monthly owner reports are assembled from your property management software, with a plain-English note on what happened at each property that month, ready for review before they go out.
- Turnover coordination
- When a tenant gives notice or a guest checks out, the cleaning, inspection, repairs and listing steps are scheduled in order, and everyone involved knows what's next.
- Guest messaging
- For vacation rentals, check-in details, house rules and checkout reminders go out on schedule, and guest questions are answered from your property notes or passed to your team.

Trust and privacy
Your clients' information, handled carefully.
Real estate files are full of personal details: pre-approval letters, bank statements, IDs, signed contracts. Every automation we build only touches the information it needs, works inside accounts your brokerage controls and leaves a clear record of what it did.
Qualification questions are built around timeline, price range, financing and location preferences, and you approve every template before it's used. Your brokerage's fair housing and advertising standards apply to everything the agent sends, just as they do to your team. For files you'd rather never send to an outside AI service, we can run the work on hardware you own.
How private AI worksFAQ
AI for real estate: your questions.
Will the AI reply to leads as if it were me?
It replies from templates and a tone you approve, signed however you prefer, for example as you, your team or your assistant. It handles the first conversation and the scheduling. Anything that needs your expertise, such as pricing advice or offer strategy, is handed to you.
Does it work with Follow Up Boss, kvCORE or Lofty?
Those are tools we commonly see, and we build around the CRM you already use rather than replacing it. Leads, notes and tags land where your team already looks. Exact integration options for your account are confirmed during the audit.
Can an agent keep track of contract deadlines for me?
It can read an executed contract, pull out the key dates and build the checklist and reminders. You or your transaction coordinator confirm those dates before they are used, and responsibility for meeting them stays with you. The automation makes sure nobody forgets to look.
We manage long-term rentals and vacation rentals. Can you help with both?
Yes. The patterns are similar: requests come in, get sorted, get assigned and need follow-up. For long-term rentals that usually means maintenance and tenant communication. For vacation rentals it often means guest messages, cleaning turnovers between stays and owner reporting.
How is client financial information handled?
Documents like pre-approval letters and bank statements stay in the systems you already use, and each automation only touches the information it needs. For brokerages that want sensitive files processed on their own hardware, we can set up a local AI option.
