Real estate lead automation replies to a listing enquiry within seconds at any hour, qualifies the buyer, books the showing, and updates your CRM — so the lead never goes to whoever called back first.

The problem

Where real estate leads die.

Not from lack of leads. From the gap between when one arrives and when someone replies.

The 9pm enquiry

Portal and website enquiries peak in the evening. A reply the next morning arrives after three other agents already called.

Unqualified showings

Half a Saturday spent showing a property to someone who was never pre-approved and never going to buy.

The CRM nobody updates

Notes live in your head and your texts. When a lead resurfaces four months later, the context is gone.

Follow-up that stops at two

Most deals need seven or more touches. Most agents manage two, then move to the next fresh lead.

What we build

Four systems that work the gap between enquiry and showing.

Running on your listings, your calendar, and your CRM.

Instant response to listing enquiries

  • Replies within seconds, day or night, on web, text and portal
  • Answers the obvious first questions about the property
  • Opens with a real conversation rather than an autoresponder
  • Works every enquiry equally, including the ones at midnight

Showing bookings synced to your calendar

  • Offers your genuine availability, not a form to fill
  • Books the showing and confirms it with both parties
  • Handles reschedules without a phone tag chain
  • Blocks travel time between properties automatically

Buyer and renter qualification

  • Establishes timeline, financing status and must-haves up front
  • Separates the pre-approved from the browsing
  • Routes serious buyers to the right agent instantly
  • Flags the leads worth your Saturday

Automatic CRM updates and follow-up

  • Writes every conversation into the CRM without you typing
  • Runs long-cycle nurture for buyers who are twelve months out
  • Re-engages old leads when a matching listing appears
  • Keeps context attached so a warm lead is never cold-started
The comparison that matters

What are you comparing this against?

How it works

How long does it take to go live?

We build around how you already run — you do not change your systems to suit ours.

  1. 01

    Map your lead sources

    We look at where enquiries arrive — portals, website, ads, referrals — and how each one currently gets handled.

  2. 02

    Connect calendar and CRM

    We integrate your showing calendar and CRM so bookings and notes land automatically, in the format you already use.

  3. 03

    Build the qualification logic

    We define with you what makes a lead worth a Saturday, and what questions establish that without sounding like an interrogation.

  4. 04

    Launch and tune

    We go live, review the first weeks of conversations, and adjust tone and qualification against the leads that actually convert.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What does real estate lead automation cost?

Builds start at $2,500 setup plus $650/mo on the Launch package, covering instant enquiry response, showing bookings and CRM updates. Brokerages running multiple agents typically move to Growth at $4,500 setup plus $1,500/mo. Scope is set after a free consultation.

Does it work with Follow Up Boss or kvCORE?

Yes. Avelle connects to the CRM you already run rather than replacing it — Follow Up Boss, kvCORE, HubSpot and others. Conversations, qualification notes and booking details write back into your existing records.

Will buyers know they are talking to AI?

That is your call and we build it either way. Most agents run first-response under the brokerage name with an immediate handoff to a human the moment the buyer asks something substantive or asks to speak with someone.

Can it handle enquiries from listing portals?

Yes, wherever the portal delivers the enquiry to an inbox, form or webhook we can act on it. We map each source during setup so a portal lead gets the same instant response as a website enquiry.

How long until it is live?

Most brokerage builds go live in two to four weeks — mapping lead sources, connecting the calendar and CRM, building qualification logic, then launching and tuning.
