AI receptionist for small business: calls, bookings and handoffs
What an AI receptionist does on a real call, the rules that apply, a sample greeting and a pass/fail checklist to launch one safely.
Portal enquiries get a quick WhatsApp reply, with listing answers and viewing times instead of a missed lead.
A portal enquiry goes cold fast, and agents out on viewings cannot reply to every one. This agent picks up the conversation on WhatsApp, answers questions about size, features and availability from your own listing data, and offers viewing slots from the listing agent's calendar. Offers, negotiations and contract questions always go to a person on your team.

WhatsApp AI Support Agent for Real Estate replies on WhatsApp to buyers, renters and sellers: listing questions answered from your property data, viewings offered from agents' calendars, and seller updates sent by approved template. Offers, negotiations and anything outside your listings go to an agent.
In property, the first agency to answer often gets the viewing. Enquiries arrive in the evening, at weekends and while agents are showing other homes, and each one left until morning is a buyer or renter talking to someone else. This agent replies quickly with facts from your listings and gets a viewing in the diary, leaving your agents to do the selling. The written scope shows exactly which questions it answers, which calendars it books into and which conversations stay with people, so there are no surprises after you buy.
The agent answers listing questions on WhatsApp from your property data. Buyers and renters get details such as size, features and availability straight away. Agents only step in for what needs them.
Viewings are offered from your agents' calendars in the same chat. The enquirer picks a time that suits, and the viewing lands in the right diary.
Seller updates are sent by approved WhatsApp template. Up to five templates are submitted for Meta approval, so updates stay within WhatsApp's rules and your agreed wording.
Offers, negotiations and anything outside your listings go to an agent. The agent receives the chat history, so they can pick up the conversation without repeating questions.

The build is a one-off price. Running it costs Meta's WhatsApp conversation fees, billed to your own account, plus roughly $30 to $150 a month for AI model usage and hosting. Your CRM and portal subscriptions do not change.
AI usage during the build and testing is billed to your accounts as well, so the agency owns every provider relationship.

When an enquiry from a listing portal reaches your CRM by email or feed, the agent sends an approved WhatsApp template inviting the person to continue there. Once they reply, it answers listing questions and offers viewings. Meta requires that template because your business is messaging first.
