AI-Assisted Lead Qualification for Property Teams
The hardest part of a Real Estate agent's job is asking the awkward questions: "What is your budget?" "Do you have a mortgage approval?"
Buyers often lie to agents because they fear being "sold to." Surprisingly, buyers are often more honest with AI.
The "Pre-Agent" Chat
Before the lead speaks to a human, the AI initiates a "Concierge Chat."
AI: "Hi, I'm the virtual assistant for DJC Properties. To ensure I send you the right brochures, are you looking for investment or own-stay?" Lead: "Investment." AI: "Great. And what price range are you comfortable with? $500k, $1M, or $2M+?" Lead: "$1M range."
Why this works
- Low Pressure: The lead knows the AI won't judge them or pressure them.
- Instant Gratification: The lead answers because they want the brochure now.
The Handoff
The agent receives the lead after these questions are answered. Instead of calling a stranger, they are calling: "John, Investor, $1M budget, interested in 2-bed units."
The call is no longer a cold probe. It is a warm consultation.
