An AI voice agent for real estate agents: answer every call
Plenty of a real estate agency's customers still pick up the phone — and a call that rings out often goes to whoever answers next. An AI voice agent picks up every call, on your existing number, in the caller's language, and does the same work your front desk does on the phone. Here is what that covers for real estate agents.
Key takeaways
- Portal leads often call first — and a call that rings out means a buyer talking to another agent.
- The voice agent answers listing questions, qualifies callers and books site visits.
- It sends brochures, pins and confirmations to WhatsApp during or after the call.
- About 90 minutes of calls a day costs roughly ₹10,800–₹32,400 a month in minutes, plus the ₹1,999 add-on.

1.Why the phone still matters for real estate agents
These problems usually start with a call nobody took:
- Meta/Google leads go cold in 24 hours. Buyer fills "Interested in 2BHK in Whitefield" form at 7 PM. You call Tuesday. They've toured 3 properties.
- Site visit no-shows are common. You arrange a site visit for Saturday. The family doesn't show. No call, no message. Broker's time wasted.
- Post-visit follow-up is inconsistent. Buyer visits property, seems interested. You follow up once. No reply. You assume they're not interested. They buy elsewhere.
Portal leads often call first, and an unanswered call usually means the lead is talking to another agent within the hour.
2.Who calls a real estate agency
Buyers calling from portal listings and hoardings, renters looking for a flat this month, sellers wanting a valuation, and existing clients chasing documents. Agents are on site visits much of the day, and a call that rings out is usually a buyer who calls the next number on the portal.
3.Calls the agent handles
Vajra, Reputoo's voice agent, runs the same workflows over the phone that the WhatsApp agent runs in chat:
- Lead inquiry → WhatsApp in 60 seconds — New property inquiry triggers instant WhatsApp with property details + site visit offer.
- Site visit booked and reminded — Bot collects preferred time, books visit, and sends reminder night before and morning of.
- Post-visit follow-up sequence — After visit: same-day thank-you → 2-day follow-up → 7-day check-in with new listings.
- New listing broadcast to interested buyers — New property added → instant WhatsApp to all buyers with matching criteria saved.
After each call the caller can get a WhatsApp message with the details, and staff see the call in the call log.
4.A buyer call
Example call — names, projects and prices are placeholders.
Agent: Hello, Keystone Realty. This is the agency's assistant. How can I help?
Caller: I saw the 2BHK in Wakad on the portal. What's the price?
Agent: That's the 850 square-foot carpet 2BHK at Green Heights, ₹92 lakh, possession December 2028. Is this for your own use, and when are you looking to buy?
Caller: Own use, within six months.
Agent: Would you like to see it? Our agent Rahul can show you Saturday at 11 or Sunday at 4.
Caller: Saturday.
Agent: Booked. I'm sending the brochure, floor plan and location to your WhatsApp now.
5.Languages, hours and handover
- 36 languages, switching to the caller's — useful where customers mix languages in one sentence.
- After hours it takes the booking or the message instead of letting the call ring out.
- Live transfer to a staff member when the caller asks for one or the call needs a person.
- Outbound calls for reminders and follow-ups, within the calling hours you set. Respond to new enquiries immediately — leads contact several agents at once — then follow up around site visits and price changes.
What stays with your staff: Negotiation, documentation, and anything about legal title or loan approval stays with the agent.
6.What stays with agents
- Price negotiation and offers.
- Loans, legal and title questions.
- Seller valuations — the agent books a visit.
- Callers who ask for their agent by name.
7.What it costs
A monthly voice add-on of ₹1,999 (or $29) on top of your Reputoo plan, plus call minutes billed from a prepaid wallet at ₹4–12 a minute depending on the number and route.
Compare that with the cost of the calls going unanswered, or with the hours staff spend on routine calls, and decide from your own call volume.
8.Seller calls
Owners calling to sell or rent out a property are valuable. The agent takes the property details, location, expected price and timeline, and books a valuation visit with an agent, sending a summary to WhatsApp.
9.After-hours and weekend calls
Buyers browse portals in the evening and call then. The agent answers every call, qualifies and books visits, so Monday starts with appointments.
10.What it costs for an agency
An agency taking 40 calls a day at about two and a quarter minutes each uses around 90 minutes a day, roughly 2,700 a month. At ₹4–12 a minute from the prepaid wallet that is ₹10,800–₹32,400 a month in minutes, plus the ₹1,999 monthly add-on. One sale from a call that would have rung out covers years of it.
11.Setting up the agency line
- Load listings with details and media; add location notes.
- Connect agents' visit calendars.
- Choose forwarding: unanswered, after hours, or all portal numbers.
- Test a buyer call, a renter call, a seller call and a negotiation attempt.
12.Renter calls
Renters calling about a flat want to know rent, deposit, furnishing and whether it is still available. The agent answers from the listing, asks move-in date and household, books a viewing, and sends matching alternatives to WhatsApp if this one is let.
13.NRI callers
Callers from abroad get the same answers at their convenient time, a video walkthrough on WhatsApp, and a video-call visit with an agent booked for a time that works in both time zones.
14.Loan questions on the phone
The agent lists the banks a project is approved with and can give an illustrative EMI, clearly stated as an estimate, then books a call with the agent or loan partner. It never promises approval.
15.Languages
Callers use many languages and local terms. The agent follows the caller's language and understands BHK, carpet area and possession in any of them.
16.The greeting and the goodbye
Answer with the agency's name and say the caller is speaking to the agency's assistant, with an agent available. End by repeating the visit time and address, and saying the brochure and pin are on WhatsApp.
17.Measuring
Compare calls that rang out, site visits booked by phone, and visits that happened, before and after. Review call summaries weekly.
18.Callers chasing documents
Existing clients call to ask about agreements, receipts or registration dates. The agent recognises them, checks the status you record, and books a callback with their agent for anything more.
19.Privacy
The agent never shares an owner's details or another buyer's offer. Callers asking who owns a property are offered a message to the agent.
20.Plot and commercial callers
Plot buyers and commercial tenants are asked the questions that matter to them — approvals, road width, area, use, lease term — and routed to the right team with a visit booked and details on WhatsApp.
21.Outbound follow-ups
Within the hours you set, the agent can call leads who booked a visit but did not confirm, or who visited and have not replied, to ask about next steps. It calls once, and passes anyone ready to discuss price to the agent.
22.Saved-search calls
Buyers who did not find what they wanted can ask to be told about new matches. The agent saves their criteria and, with consent, sends matching listings to WhatsApp as they arrive.
23.Setting the voice
A calm, professional voice suits property buyers. Review call summaries in the first weeks and adjust the greeting and qualifying questions until calls feel like your best agent's first call.
24.Site-visit reminders by phone
Within the hours you set, the agent can call buyers the evening before a visit to confirm, offering to reschedule if plans changed. Confirmed visits go ahead; rescheduled ones free the agent's time.
25.Payment plan calls
Buyers call to ask what is due and when. The agent explains the project's published payment plans and sends the schedule to WhatsApp; custom plans go to the sales team.
26.Callers comparing projects
Buyers often ask how one project compares with another. The agent answers factually for the projects you sell — size, price, possession, amenities — and does not comment on competitors' projects.
27.Complaints
A caller unhappy with an agent, a delay or a document gets an apology and a transfer or callback from the manager. The agent never argues and never makes commitments about deals.
28.Evening family calls
Buyers often call in the evening with family on the line, asking many questions at once. The agent answers patiently, one question at a time, and sends a written summary with the brochure to WhatsApp so the family can discuss it later.
29.Status of an existing booking
Buyers who have booked a flat call about construction progress, payment receipts or agreement dates. The agent answers what the status records show and books a callback with their agent for anything else.
30.Hoarding and newspaper leads
Many buyers still call from hoardings and newspaper ads. The agent asks which project they saw, answers its details, qualifies and books a visit, and records the source so you know which ads bring calls.
31.Weekend rush
Saturdays and Sundays bring the most calls and the most site visits, with agents out on the road. The agent handles every call, books visits into agents' free slots, and sends each buyer the pin so agents spend the weekend showing property rather than answering the phone.
32.Frequently asked questions
Can a real estate agency keep its existing phone number?
Yes. Calls can be forwarded from your current number to the agent — all of them, only when unanswered, or only after hours — so customers keep dialling the number they know.
Does an AI voice agent sound robotic?
Vajra uses natural-sounding voices in each supported language. Tell callers at the start that they are speaking with an AI assistant, and let them ask for a person at any time — being upfront costs nothing and keeps trust.
Can an AI voice agent answer calls from property portals?
Yes. It answers listing questions, qualifies the caller, books a site visit and sends the brochure and location to WhatsApp.
Will the voice agent negotiate on price?
No. Negotiation, loans and legal questions go to the agent.
How much does an AI voice agent cost a real estate agency in India?
A ₹1,999 monthly voice add-on plus call minutes at ₹4–12 a minute from a prepaid wallet. An agency with about 90 minutes of calls a day would spend roughly ₹10,800–₹32,400 a month on minutes.
Can the voice agent take seller calls?
Yes. It collects the property details, expected price and timeline, and books a valuation visit with an agent.
Will callers know they are speaking to an AI assistant?
They should. The greeting says so, and an agent is available for negotiation or anything the assistant cannot answer.
Can the voice agent tell which ad a caller saw?
It asks which project or ad they saw and records the source, so you can see which hoardings and ads bring calls.
Can the voice agent call leads to confirm site visits?
Yes, within the calling hours you set — the evening before — offering to reschedule if plans changed.
Can the voice agent handle weekend call volume?
Yes. It answers every call, books visits into agents' free slots and sends location pins, while agents are out showing property.
How do I follow up with buyers who visited a property?
Set up a post-visit sequence: thank-you within 2 hours, check-in on Day 2 asking for questions, and a Day 7 message with updated listings or price change on the visited property.
Can I manage buyer inquiries from multiple portals in one place?
Yes. Connect your 99acres, MagicBricks, and Housing portals. All lead inquiries flow into Reputoo's dashboard and get WhatsApp responses automatically, regardless of source.
