AI agents for real estate that qualify, book and follow up — around the clock.

AI agents for real estate are autonomous agents that answer a new enquiry in seconds, qualify it against your criteria, book the viewing in your calendar, and keep your CRM up to date — so leads stop going cold while your team sleeps.

We build them around the portals, CRM and rules your brokerage already runs.

  3. Meets the criteria → on to a viewing. If not (no financing, wrong area), it goes into a follow-up sequence instead of taking a slot in the diary.

Where it usually breaks

  • Leads go cold before agents respond
  • Double-booked showings frustrate buyers
  • Slow property valuations lose listings

Case study· Portugal

A real example: Seed Real Estate's deal and finance workflows

Seed Real Estate, an investment property team in Portugal, ran deals across marketing, agents, back office and finance on email and checklists, with no single view of where each deal stood. We built two AI workflows in n8n that now run in production: one keeps every deal in sync from ClickUp to Slack with Airtable as the system of record; the other reconciles bank statements against InvoiceXpress invoices, with OpenAI categorising each transaction.

The reconciliation cycle now runs autonomously in 6 hours, and Excel is no longer the system of record. It's the back-office side of a property business rather than lead handling — the same engineering we point at enquiries and viewings. Read the Seed Real Estate case study.

What are AI agents for real estate?

AI agents for real estate are software agents that handle the repetitive lead and listing work a property business runs on: they read an incoming enquiry from a portal, your site or WhatsApp, qualify it, answer property questions, book a viewing, and log everything to your CRM — end to end, without a person in the loop until one is needed. Speed-to-lead is the whole game in property, and an agent's first response is measured in seconds, not the hours a busy team takes to call back.

Keep reading

This is custom agent work pointed at your sector — the same engineering behind the rest of our AI agent work and our customer-service agents, built around your stack rather than a closed product. (It's agents for a real-estate business — brokerages, developers, property managers — not a tool resold to individual realtors.)

Top use cases for AI agents in real estate

Six workflows where an agent pays back first in a sales, lettings or property-management business. Each runs end to end in your systems and hands off to a person when an offer, a negotiation or a judgement call is on the table.

  • Lead qualification & speed-to-lead

    Answers every new enquiry in under a minute, 24/7, asks your qualifying questions (budget, location, timeline, financing) and scores the lead before it cools — across portal, website, WhatsApp and email.

    See this flow in the example
  • Property viewings automation

    Checks the sales agent's live calendar, offers slots, books the viewing and sends reminders — and reschedules no-shows automatically instead of leaving the slot empty.

  • Listing questions & valuation follow-up

    Answers questions about a specific listing — price, square metres, floor, availability, documents — from your live listing data, and follows up valuation (appraisal) requests from vendors before they list with someone else.

  • CRM hygiene & follow-up

    Logs every conversation, updates the deal stage and runs the follow-up sequence so no lead sits untouched — the admin that quietly kills conversion when a team is busy.

  • Sales & tenancy progression

    Collects and checks the documents a sale or tenancy needs to progress (ID, proof of funds, references, contracts), chases what's missing, and moves the file to the next stage instead of leaving it in someone's inbox.

  • After-hours & overflow cover

    Covers evenings, weekends and peak-volume spikes — the hours when most property enquiries actually land — so you stop losing the lead to whoever replied first.

03 / Sector agents

Agents already designed for this sector. Each one is adapted to your stack before it goes live.

04 / Build vs buy

Portal bot, custom agent, or your team doing it by hand?

Portal autoresponders and CRM chatbots capture a name and stop there. A custom agent qualifies, books and updates your systems — and a busy team can't match its response time on nights and weekends, which is exactly when the leads come in.

AI automation for estate and letting agents across Europe

Portals the agent reads

  • Idealista · PT
  • Imovirtual · PT
  • Rightmove · UK
  • Zoopla · UK
  • Funda · NL
  • ImmoScout24 · DE
  • Data entry between portal, CRM and back office

    Portal enquiries, viewing feedback and offer details keyed into the CRM by an agent instead of a negotiator at 9pm — still the most common automation request we get from agencies.

  • Listing descriptions

    Drafts the listing description, key features and portal copy from the property data you already hold (rooms, area, energy rating, location) in your house style, for a person to approve before it goes live.

  • Commercial and residential

    The same pattern works for commercial lettings and property management: enquiry triage, viewing coordination, maintenance requests and renewal reminders, each wired to the system of record you use.

The order that pays back fastest

  1. Lead response
  2. Viewings
  3. Progression
  4. Data entry
Read the full answer

AI automation for real estate agents isn't one tool. It's an agent on each repetitive step between a portal enquiry and a signed offer or tenancy. For an estate or letting agency, the order that pays back fastest is lead response first, then viewings, then progression and data entry — the work that grows with enquiry volume, not with how good your negotiators are.

We build for agencies, developers and property managers in Portugal, the UK, the Benelux and DACH. In practice the agent reads leads from the portals each market runs on — Idealista and Imovirtual in Portugal, Rightmove and Zoopla in the UK, Funda in the Netherlands, ImmoScout24 in Germany — usually from the lead email or your CRM feed, and replies in the buyer's language.

Before you sign

Choosing an AI automation agency for real estate: five questions

Plenty of AI automation agencies sell real-estate firms the same chatbot template. Before you sign with anyone — us included — get a straight answer to these five questions.

  • Who owns the code and the accounts?

    You should. We build on your stack and hand over the code, the prompts and the model accounts — no per-seat licence, no lock-in.

  • How is it tested before it talks to a buyer?

    Every agent we ship comes with an eval harness: it runs against your real past enquiries before launch and starts behind a human review step.

  • What does it cost to run?

    Ask for the build price and the running cost separately. Ours: a fixed price per agent (see pricing below), plus model tokens with a cost ceiling per run.

  • Where does the lead data go?

    Enquiries are personal data under GDPR. You should know where each message is processed, which processors touch it and how long it's kept — before the first lead goes through.

  • What happens when it doesn't know?

    It should hand off to a named person with the conversation attached — and never guess a price, an availability date or a legal answer.

06 / Pricing

How much does an AI agent for a real estate agency cost?

A first production agent on one workflow — usually lead qualification with viewing booking — starts at €1,500, fixed price, delivered in about two weeks (~12 business days). Multi-step agents with CRM and calendar integrations start at €2,500 per agent. After launch you pay the model tokens per conversation, capped per run; there's no per-seat licence, so the cost doesn't grow with the size of your team.
