3-touch follow-up sequence

T+5min: "Thanks {first_name}! Got your enquiry about {service}. When's a good time for a quick call?" • T+1day: share a relevant result/case + a booking link. • T+3days: "Still keen? Happy to hold a slot this week."

Why this matters for real estate agents

Agents lose listings because they were at a showing when a buyer lead came in from Zillow — and nobody texted back for four hours. Automated follow-up in the first five minutes is one of the highest-ROI automations in residential real estate.

When not to use AI here

Automated sequences shouldn't replace disclosure conversations, negotiation, or fair-housing-sensitive screening. Humans own the relationship; AI owns the speed.

Your first week

  4. Day 4–5: Turn on live; monitor response times daily.
