For residential real estate brokerages
Catch leads in under five minutes. Feed agents better prospects. Close transactions on schedule.
Independent residential brokerages and small-franchise shops with 5-50 agents. The two biggest operational drags are slow lead response and overloaded transaction coordinators. We fix both.
Serving North America jurisdiction-specific requirements confirmed during scoping
Residential real estate brokerages live in a specific operational window: the 5-minute response time that predicts lead conversion. Most brokerages respond to inbound leads in 25-60 minutes because the only available person at 9pm or on a Saturday is the agent, and the agent is usually at a showing, on a phone call, or with family. The result is a measurable and expensive leak, leads that went to the brokerage that responded first.
Beyond lead response, the transaction coordination function is the other big ceiling. Most TCs are handling 25-40 open transactions simultaneously, with each transaction involving 20-40 specific tasks across inspection, appraisal, financing, disclosures, and closing coordination. Even highly-organized TCs miss things. Deals fall apart, relationships sour, and the brokerage absorbs the cost.
AI-assisted workflows in residential brokerage focus on lead response and qualification (structured first-response in under 90 seconds, with warm handoff to an available agent), agent-to-lead matching (matching inbound leads to agents based on price range, area expertise, availability, and specialties), transaction coordination automation (checklist management, deadline tracking, document collection and routing), and listing operations (photo scheduling, MLS coordination, showing feedback aggregation). Agent judgment in client selection and negotiation remains human, the automation handles the logistics.

What we'd automate first
Where a carefully scoped workflow may earn its keep.
-
01
2x inquiry-to-showing conversion
Leads dying in the 30-60 minute response gap
Automated first-response and qualification within 90 seconds typically doubles conversion from inbound to booked showing.
-
02
30-50% TC capacity uplift
Transaction coordinators overwhelmed
TCs at scale miss tasks. Automated checklist management, deadline tracking, and document routing let each TC handle 30-50% more transactions without quality loss.
-
03
Listing coordination fragmented across tools
Photos, MLS, sign orders, showing feedback, coordinated manually. Structured workflow consolidates this.
-
04
Showing feedback aggregation for sellers
Sellers want to know what showings thought of the home. Aggregated showing feedback, with agent approval on what goes to the seller, keeps sellers calibrated.
-
05
Past-client and sphere follow-up
Past clients and sphere of influence are the best pipeline. Structured automated cadence (anniversary, market updates, local news) keeps the pipeline warm.
35-agent residential brokerage: lead response and TC capacity
A 35-agent independent brokerage was losing about 45% of inbound leads to 25-minute average response times, and the 2-person TC team was at capacity handling 65 active transactions. We built a lead first-response and qualification workflow plus TC automation with checklist management and deadline tracking. Inquiry-to-showing conversion rose from 18% to 38%. TC capacity rose to about 95 transactions without adding staff. The brokerage added about one quarter of GCI in the following year without adding agents.
Result: Lead conversion 18% → 38%; TC capacity +45%Rough numbers first

Common questions
Questions to resolve before implementation.
Do you work with BoomTown, Follow Up Boss, kvCORE, Compass, Chime?
Yes, all major brokerage stacks.
Fair housing compliance?
Hard constraint. Our lead-matching and communication explicitly do not use, reference, or imply protected-class attributes. Agent judgment on client selection remains agent judgment.
Solo agent or small team, applicable?
For solo agents, often overkill. For teams of 5+ agents with shared TC, usually well-sized.

Send a written intakeRelated industry paths
Selected related paths.
- Assemble the OM faster. Track the long pipeline. Brief the broker before every call. Commercial brokerages covering retail, office, industrial, and multifamily. Commercial deals have 12-36 month pipelines, document-heavy listings, and institutional clients, very different from residential and in need of different automation.
- Generate reports in an hour instead of four. Let inspectors inspect. Home inspection businesses and multi-inspector firms. Report writing is the biggest operational drain on inspector productivity, usually taking longer than the inspection itself. We fix that without sacrificing quality or thoroughness.
- Triage the maintenance intake. Keep good tenants. Report to owners on time. Residential and small commercial property managers with 150-2,000 doors. The maintenance intake flood is the single biggest operational problem, and tenant screening + owner reporting follow close behind. We wire automation around your PM software to handle volume at scale.
