An AI voice agent for real estate that actually closes the loop
Buyers and renters call at 9pm. An AI voice agent answers every one, qualifies the lead, books the viewing, and hands your agents a warm calendar instead of a missed-call list. Built by a team that ships production voice, not demos.
- Build price fixed before we start
- Run costs billed by your providers, never marked up
- Own the agent and the prompts outright
Why this is worth building, and why us.
Real estate runs on speed-to-lead: the agent who answers first usually wins the deal. But your best closers cannot pick up every inbound call, chase every portal enquiry, or dial every renewal, and voicemail loses the lead. An AI voice agent for real estate covers the calls a human cannot, in a voice that does not sound like a 2010 phone tree.
We build these as real products, not chatbot wrappers. Our AI Calling Agent runs a LiveKit + Twilio pipeline with barge-in handling, sub-second latency, and an ops dashboard: the same foundation a real estate voice agent needs to survive contact with actual callers.
What a real estate voice agent handles
- 01Inbound buyer/renter calls: answered 24/7, qualified, and logged to your CRM
- 02Viewing bookings: checks availability and drops the appointment on the agent’s calendar
- 03Portal & web-form enquiries: called back within seconds while intent is hot
- 04Outbound follow-ups: renewals, price-drop alerts, and “are you still looking?” nudges
- 05Instant lead scoring: budget, timeline, and area captured on the call, not chased later
- 06Warm hand-off: transfers a hot lead to a human agent mid-call when it matters
What it costs to put an agent on your phones
Two numbers, always: a one-time build and a per-minute run cost. The build is fixed and published below. The run cost is billed by your providers at raw rates, and we estimate it from your call volume before you commit.
- Pilot Agent$2,4972 weeks
One line, one job, usually inbound enquiries after hours.
- Inbound call handling with qualification questions you define
- Calendar booking or a callback request, whichever fits
- Call transcripts and recordings you can review
- Runs on a platform so you are live fast and cheap
- A real deflection number after two weeks, not a guess
- Most chosenProduction Agent$5,9974 weeks
The agent becomes part of how the agency actually operates.
- Everything in Pilot, plus CRM sync both directions
- Warm transfer to a human agent mid-call
- Outbound follow-ups and portal-enquiry callbacks
- Lead scoring captured on the call and written to your pipeline
- Built on LiveKit or Pipecat so you pay raw model rates, not platform margin
- Latency tuning: the difference between natural and obviously a robot
- Voice Ops$997/moMonthly
Keeping a live phone agent honest once it is carrying real calls.
- Monitoring, alerting, and someone who notices before you do
- Monthly transcript review and prompt tuning against real calls
- Script and flow changes as your process changes
- A report on calls handled, transferred, and booked
- Cancel any month, no notice period
- Build price fixed before we start
- Run costs billed by your providers, never marked up
- Own the agent and the prompts outright
- Start on a platform, move to custom when volume justifies it
The per-minute run cost is genuinely separate and genuinely yours: speech-to-text, the model, text-to-speech, and telephony stack up every minute a call is live. At low volume the build dominates; past roughly a thousand call-minutes a day the run cost does. Our cost breakdown page explains where the break-even sits.
Speed-to-lead is the whole game
Studies of inbound real estate leads keep finding the same thing: response time is the single biggest predictor of conversion, and it collapses fast after the first few minutes. A voice agent answers on the first ring, every time, so no enquiry sits in a queue until a human is free.
The point is not to replace your agents; it is to stop losing the leads they never had time to reach, and to hand them a calendar of qualified viewings instead of a list of missed calls to guiltily call back.
Why most “voice AI” for real estate falls apart
The demo always sounds great. Production is where it breaks: the caller talks over the bot and it keeps reading its script, latency makes every reply feel robotic, it cannot actually check a calendar or write to your CRM, and there is no fallback when the model has a bad day.
We engineer for exactly those failure modes: interruption handling, a latency budget, real tool-calling into your calendar and CRM, and human-in-the-loop transfer, because that is the difference between a toy and a leasing assistant your team trusts.
Built on a stack you own
Platforms like Vapi and Retell are a fine way to prototype. But at real call volume the per-minute platform margin adds up, and you cannot shape behaviour the platform did not anticipate. We build on LiveKit or Pipecat so you own the pipeline, pay raw model costs, and control the voice, the latency, and the logic.
You get the agent, the ops dashboard, the transcripts, and the code, not a rented seat on someone else’s platform.
Not claims. Shipped work.
Common questions.
01How much does an AI voice agent for real estate cost?
There are two numbers: a one-time build (driven mostly by how much ops surface you need: CRM sync, dashboards, calendar integration) and a running per-minute cost for the voice stack (speech-to-text, LLM, text-to-speech, telephony). We start with a short paid discovery to pin the workflow, then quote a fixed-scope build. For a prototype vs. a production agent, see our AI voice agent cost breakdown.
02Will it sound robotic to callers?
That is the part we obsess over. Robotic-sounding agents come from latency and clumsy interruption handling, not the voice itself. We engineer a tight latency budget and proper barge-in (the caller can interrupt and the agent stops and listens) so the call feels like a conversation, not a phone tree.
03Can it book viewings and update our CRM?
Yes; that is the point. The agent calls real tools: it checks a calendar for availability, books the viewing, writes the qualified lead (budget, timeline, area) to your CRM, and can transfer a hot caller to a human agent mid-call. Without that, it is just a fancy voicemail.
04Do you build custom, or resell a platform like Vapi or Retell?
We build custom on LiveKit or Pipecat so you own the pipeline and pay raw model costs. Platforms are great for a quick prototype, and we will say so if that fits your volume, but at scale the platform margin and control ceiling are why serious voice products go custom.
