As a solo estate agent, your time is your most valuable asset. Yet every day, you're pulled away from critical tasks to answer the same routine questions: 'What are your office hours?' 'Is the Smith property still available?' 'Can I book a viewing for Saturday?' These interruptions don't just fragment your focus—they cost you leads when you're on the other line or showing a property. You can't afford to hire a receptionist, but you can't afford the missed opportunities either. An AI Appointment Info Line acts as your 24/7 virtual receptionist, handling hours and booking inquiries instantly, accurately, and politely. It frees you to concentrate on what you do best: closing deals and serving clients. No staff needed, no interruptions, no lost business.

A solo estate agent spent over an hour each day repeating office hours and property availability, often missing calls during showings and losing potential buyers.
The AI handled 90% of info calls instantly, the agent received only qualified leads, and no call went unanswered after hours.
The AI is designed to answer frequently asked questions about hours, availability, and basic property info. For more complex queries—like specific square footage or HOA rules—it can politely gather the caller's details and either transfer them to you via a silent notification or schedule a callback. You control the threshold for escalation, so you only get interrupted when it truly matters.
Absolutely—the AI can book viewings directly into your calendar. It checks your availability (synced from Google Calendar, iCal, etc.), offers open slots, and confirms the appointment. The caller gets a confirmation, and the event appears on your calendar with all the details. You can approve or reschedule via the app.
Set-up takes less than 30 minutes. You simply forward your existing business number to the AI service (most VoIP providers allow this easily), then customize your greeting, hours, and property list in a simple dashboard. No technical skills required. We also offer a white-glove onboarding option where we do it for you.
The AI can recognize intent—if a caller says 'I need to speak to the agent' or becomes frustrated, it can offer to transfer the call to your mobile or schedule a callback. You remain in full control: you can set rules to always allow transfers during certain hours, or never. The goal is to reduce interruptions, not block important conversations.
Pricing starts at a flat monthly fee that includes a set number of call minutes. For a solo agent, the basic plan is $49/month, which covers around 500 minutes of AI call handling. There are no per-minute overage fees; you simply choose a plan that matches your call volume. That's typically less than the cost of a single coffee per day.
Yes, it works with any phone system that supports call forwarding. If you're using a VoIP service (like RingCentral, Grasshopper, or a typical office PBX), you can forward calls with a few clicks. Even traditional landline numbers can be forwarded with a simple request to your carrier. We provide step-by-step guides for every major provider.
