A buyer lead goes cold in minutes. You're in a showing.

Yes, and this is where most of the value sits. It asks whether they are pre-approved, what their timeline is, and what they are looking for — so your Saturday is spent on buyers who can actually transact rather than on browsers.

It handles them as a separate path — capturing the property address, why they are considering selling and their timeline, then booking a valuation appointment. You see which type of lead it was before you call back.

Both. A solo agent typically runs it on their own number. Teams brief it on who covers which areas or price bands and it routes accordingly.

Most answering services take a message. This one books the appointment — it checks your real availability and puts the showing in your calendar while the caller is still on the phone. A message is a lead you still have to chase; a booking is a lead you have converted.

Two to four business days from order, including the time we spend briefing it on your areas, your listings and how you like leads qualified.

Your business line is forwarded to the service, either all the time or only when you don't pick up. From the caller's side nothing changes — they dial your number and somebody answers. Ours answers, asks the questions you've set, and books the appointment into your calendar, then the details reach you.

A service that answers your business phone when you can't. Traditionally that meant an off-site operator taking a message for you to return later. An AI answering service handles the call to a finished outcome instead — qualifying the caller and booking the job rather than passing you a message slip.

Most small businesses pay between $200 and $1,500 a month depending on volume and whether calls are handled by people or AI. Per-minute plans typically run $1.00–$2.00 a minute, per-call plans $1.50–$3.50 a call. Ours are flat: $249/mo with 500 included minutes, or $995/mo with 2,000.

Three that matter. Every call is answered, so enquiries stop going to voicemail. Several calls are answered at once, so nobody gets a busy signal on your busiest day. And it covers the hours you can't — nights, weekends and holidays — which is when the most urgent calls tend to arrive.

Call it before you buy it. Published pricing, no long-term contract, and a service built around your trade rather than a generic script all matter — but the only reliable test is hearing how it handles a call. Our demo line is a real number that answers at any hour.

Whether it books or only takes messages; what it costs when you exceed the plan; whether hold time and robocalls are billable; how quickly it goes live; and whether it can be briefed on what counts as an emergency in your trade. Ask for the overage rate specifically — it is the number most often left out of a quote.
