AI Voice Assistant for Real Estate: Never Miss a Lead Call Again

BrokerHub's AI Voice Assistant handles inbound and outbound calls 24/7, qualifies leads, books appointments, and integrates with your CRM — so no prospect slips through the cracks.

AI Voice Assistant for Real Estate: Never Miss a Lead Call Again

Here's a stat that should concern every real estate agent: 80% of database leads go unworked. Not because agents don't care, but because there aren't enough hours in the day. You're in a showing when the phone rings. You're writing an offer when a new lead comes in. You're at your kid's soccer game when a homeowner calls from your yard sign at 7 PM on a Saturday.

Every missed call is a potential client who moves on to the next agent in their search results. Research shows that timely outreach produces a 9x higher contact rate, yet 48% of agents never follow up after day one. The math is clear: if you can't answer the phone consistently and follow up persistently, you're leaving deals on the table.

BrokerHub's AI Voice Assistant solves this with an AI that answers your calls 24/7, qualifies leads with intelligent conversation, books appointments directly into your calendar, and logs everything to your CRM. Callers often can't tell they're talking to an AI.

What the AI Voice Assistant Actually Does

This isn't a voicemail service or a robotic phone tree. The AI Voice Assistant handles natural conversations — answering questions about your listings, your services, your availability, and your business. It qualifies leads by asking about their timeline, budget, and needs. And when a caller is ready, it books an appointment directly on your calendar.

Here's a typical interaction: a buyer calls about a listing they saw on your website. The AI greets them naturally, confirms which property they're asking about, provides details (price, bedrooms, square footage), answers follow-up questions, and offers to schedule a showing. It suggests available times, confirms the appointment, collects their contact information, and sends a confirmation. The entire conversation happens without your involvement, and the lead and appointment appear in your CRM.

Inbound Call Handling

The core function is handling incoming calls from website visitors, sign callers, ad campaigns, and referral sources. The AI answers immediately — no hold music, no "leave a message," no missed opportunity. It handles routine inquiries, provides property information, answers FAQs, and routes urgent matters to you or your team when human attention is needed.

Outbound Call Campaigns

The Voice Assistant doesn't just wait for calls to come in. It can proactively reach out to leads in your database — contacting them at optimal times with personalized messages. This is particularly powerful for reactivating dormant leads, following up after open houses, and collecting showing feedback.

Lead Qualification

Not every caller is a serious buyer or seller. The AI screens incoming leads by asking about their timeline, budget, property preferences, and motivation. Only qualified prospects get routed to your phone, so you spend your time on conversations that are likely to result in a transaction.

Appointment Booking

When a lead is ready to meet, the AI checks your calendar and suggests available times. It handles rescheduling, sends reminders, and confirms appointments — all without you touching your phone or email.

Smart Call Routing

The AI knows when to handle a call and when to transfer it. You configure the rules: VIP contacts go straight to your phone, routine questions are handled by the AI, and urgent matters trigger an immediate notification. The system learns your preferences over time.

Voicemail Detection

When the AI makes outbound calls and reaches a voicemail system, it detects the machine and leaves a personalized, relevant message designed to get a callback. No awkward silences, no generic scripts.

Six Use Cases for Real Estate

1. Inbound Lead Capture

Website visitors, sign callers, and ad respondents call your number. The AI answers instantly, answers their questions, and captures their information. You never miss a lead because you were in a meeting, on another call, or away from your phone.

2. Outbound Lead Follow-Up

Your database is full of leads who expressed interest but never converted. The AI reaches out proactively, checks if their situation has changed, and reignites conversations that went cold. At 5+ follow-ups needed to convert a typical lead, consistency matters more than any single conversation.

3. New Lead Qualification

Fresh leads from online ads, portal inquiries, and website registrations need fast follow-up. The AI contacts them quickly, asks qualifying questions, and routes serious prospects to you with context about their needs, timeline, and budget.

4. Past Lead Reactivation

Leads from six months ago who weren't ready to buy or sell may be ready now. The AI systematically works through your database, re-engaging dormant contacts with natural conversations that feel like a check-in, not a sales pitch.

5. Open House Follow-Up

After an open house, every visitor should get a follow-up call within 24 hours. The AI handles this automatically — collecting feedback, gauging interest, and scheduling private showings for interested buyers.

6. Showing Feedback Collection

After a buyer tours a property, the AI calls to collect honest feedback about the showing. This gives you insights to share with sellers, helps you understand buyer preferences, and demonstrates your thoroughness as a listing agent.

CRM Integrations

The Voice Assistant integrates with the tools real estate agents already use:

  • Follow Up Boss — The most popular real estate CRM
  • Salesforce — Enterprise-grade CRM for large teams
  • HubSpot — Marketing and sales platform
  • Pipedrive — Pipeline-focused CRM
  • Zoho CRM — Affordable CRM for growing teams
  • Google Calendar — Appointment scheduling
  • Calendly — Online booking integration
  • Zapier — Connect to thousands of other tools

All conversations are automatically logged, lead information is synced, and appointments are added to your calendar. You don't need to manually enter data or transfer notes from phone calls.

Setup Process

Getting started takes less than 5 minutes:

  1. Connect your number. Forward your existing business number or get a new one. A guided setup wizard walks you through the process.

  2. Train your AI. Upload your FAQs, business information, listing details, and common questions. The AI learns your voice and style so conversations feel consistent with your brand.

  3. Set your rules. Configure when to forward calls, when to book appointments, when to take messages, and who your VIP contacts are. Set emergency protocols for situations that require immediate human attention.

  4. Go live. Flip the switch and monitor calls in real-time. Adjust settings as you learn what works best for your business.

Pricing

Plans start at $197/month and include:

  • Unlimited inbound calls
  • Lead qualification and routing
  • Calendar integration
  • CRM sync

The price reflects the reality that this tool replaces a virtual assistant or ISA (Inside Sales Agent) that would cost $2,000 to $4,000 per month — and the AI works 24/7 without sick days, vacation, or training ramp-up.
