Good to know

Frequently asked questions

Short, honest answers to what business owners ask us most.

Can an AI assistant answer real estate inquiries on WhatsApp?

Yes. The assistant answers questions about each property, asks about budget, area and timing, and books showings with serious buyers. Each lead goes to the right real estate agent with a summary, so nobody has to sort dozens of messages a day.

How do real estate agents follow up with buyers who aren’t ready yet?

Each contact gets useful follow-up for months by WhatsApp or email, including new listings that match what they’re looking for. When the buyer replies or shows interest again, the real estate agent gets an alert to call them.

How can a property manager automate rent collection?

Before the due date, each tenant gets a reminder with the amount and a payment link, and the property manager sees in one place who has paid. Tenants’ repair requests can also arrive by WhatsApp or form, logged by property and tracked until they’re closed.
