The 8pm lead waits until morning
A Zillow lead pings at night and sits untouched until you check your phone — long after their interest peaked.
For agents, teams & brokerages
AI automation for real estate: respond and route leads while you show homes.
Real-estate lead response is time-sensitive, but you may be at a showing or closing. Cognautic can configure consent-aware phone and text workflows for supported lead sources, capture approved qualification fields, route to the right person, and offer connected-calendar scheduling with human handoff and failure visibility.
Scoped response lanes. Tested routing. Customer-owned CRM and source data.
The math is brutal
You paid for the lead. You just couldn't get to the phone in time.
A delayed portal response can reduce the chance of a conversation after you paid for the lead. We measure your actual source-to-response and appointment baseline rather than assuming every portal inquiry becomes a deal.
The old way
Showings send calls to voicemail
You're with a client, so the inquiry rolls to voicemail — and to the next agent on the listing page.
The database sits cold
Hundreds of old leads gather dust in your CRM because nobody has time to work them.
Showings for tire-kickers
You drive across town for a buyer who wasn't pre-approved and wasn't really ready.
What we build for agents & teams
A configured inside-sales workflow plus measured follow-up.
We start with the biggest measured pipeline gap — often source-to-response time — then connect supported follow-up and scheduling steps with a clear human-review path.
Prompt lead-response workflow
When a supported source event arrives, an eligible lead can enter the configured call or text lane; provider delivery time and consent rules still apply.
AI inside-sales qualification
It can ask the approved buyer-or-seller, budget, timeline, location, and pre-approval questions, then route available answers and a provider-supported summary to the configured agent.
Showing & consult scheduling
A connected scheduler can offer approved showing or consult slots after checking exposed availability, assignment, and conflict rules.
Listing & offer follow-up
Eligible buyers and sellers can enter a bounded follow-up sequence with reply, opt-out, appointment, and status-change stop conditions.
Database reactivation
Eligible historical contacts can enter a bounded reactivation program; replies and suppression status determine whether a human receives a follow-up task.
Review & referral engine
After a recorded close, configured neutral review and referral invitations can be sent to eligible clients with opt-out and reward controls.
The agent in action
It captures approved qualification signals before human follow-up.
We configure the agent from approved listings, service area, price points, qualification questions, and scheduling rules. It captures available signals and follows the defined routing or human-review path; the agent or broker remains responsible for qualification decisions.
Responds to supported portal events
Zillow, Realtor.com, IDX, or Meta leads can enter a configured response lane when the source connection and messaging eligibility are verified.
Qualifies and routes to the right agent
Approved budget, timeline, pre-approval, and buyer-or-seller answers can be routed with the context exposed by the connected source.
Books showings on your real calendar
Checks the connected calendar for availability and conflicts before texting the confirmation and address.
Works with your stack
It can work inside supported versions of your CRM and lead tools.
Connection scope depends on the CRM plan, API access, lead-source terms, and the actions approved during testing.

Real-estate AI automation FAQs
It can when your CRM plan and API expose the required contact, note, stage, assignment, and scheduling actions. We verify fields and permissions, test accepted and rejected writes, and keep the CRM as the source of truth. Unsupported actions need a different handoff path.
We configure and measure a target from supported source receipt to first eligible attempt. Actual time depends on provider delivery, queues, consent, quiet-hour rules, and source availability, so we report the observed distribution rather than promising a universal number.
It can use separate approved buyer and seller flows to capture relevant intent, timeline, financing-status, and property details, then offer a supported booking or human handoff. Scripts and routing must also respect fair-housing and brokerage policies.
We configure it from approved market, listing, service-area, and brand material. It should identify itself or provide required disclosure under the applicable channel rules; anything outside its lane is handed off or recorded for human review.
Customer-owned CRM, lead database, phone numbers, and source data stay in your name. Call logs, recordings, retention, and exports follow the selected provider's capabilities and consent settings. Managed Cognautic runtime and any migration work are identified in the exit plan.
