An AI receptionist for brokerages that picks up when the broker doesn't

A broker's calls come in during showings, closings and dinner. A caller who reaches voicemail may not leave a message, and a seller who doesn't get an answer may call the next sign on the street. The job is narrow: answer the calls the broker misses, learn who is calling and what they want, and put a time on the broker's calendar.

For one brokerage we built it so the broker's phone rings first. The AI voice line answers only when the broker doesn't pick up, and its whole job is to book a callback with the broker. It runs in production and takes real inbound calls.

Chat does the qualifying. In the same build, AI chat pre-qualifies the lead, then books a buyer or seller consultation on the calendar. On a new build the qualifying questions sit in the plan document, so the broker signs off on exactly what the chat asks.

Then there is the question of what the AI calls itself. For an agent's line we built an inbound AI voice that tells callers it is an AI and carries no persona name. It started out with a name; the client asked for it to go, so we removed the name from the voice line and kept the disclosure.

Booking needs the right kind of calendar. In one account the calendar already in place was an event calendar, not a booking calendar, so we created a booking calendar for the meetings to land on. That account also runs an appointment reminder workflow, so booked meetings get their reminders without anyone sending them by hand.

Calls and chat don't have to wait for texting. For one brokerage the voice line and chat are running while the texting registration is still waiting on the IRS letter that confirms the EIN. Text reminders have to wait for that registration, because HighLevel's help center says A2P 10DLC registration is required when a business texts U.S. recipients. That is the platform's rule as published, not legal advice.
