What can we do with SMS in real estate?
−
Capture new leads from forms and QR codes, confirm and reschedule showings, send open house reminders, share new listings or price changes, request reviews, and manage quick questions about availability, features, and disclosures without phone tag.
How quickly do clients see and respond to texts?
+
Most texts are seen within minutes, which keeps showings on schedule and reduces lead drop-off. Automated acknowledgments and reminders maintain momentum from first inquiry through offer and closing.
Can we use our existing office number?
+
Yes. You can text-enable your main line so clients call or text the same number. Routing rules direct messages to the correct agent, team, or duty desk without exposing personal numbers.
How do after-hours auto-replies work?
+
Set a schedule so that when the office is closed, an auto-reply confirms receipt, collects details like property interest, budget, and preferred times, and tells the client when to expect a response.
Can we segment messages and track results?
+
Yes. Create segments by stage, location, price range, property type, or source. Use unique codes and tracked links to measure replies, booked showings, form completions, and closed-deal influence.
Does this integrate with our CRM and website?
+
Integrations and API sync contacts and conversation history with your CRM, and connect website and portal forms so new leads receive immediate texts and appear in one system of record.
What about compliance and opt-in or opt-out?
+
Collect consent via keywords, web forms, and QR codes, include opt-out language in messages, and rely on built-in handling of STOP and HELP to maintain opt-in compliance best practices.
Can we try Textellent for free?
+
Yes. Start with a 14-day trial to test campaigns, reminders, and inbox workflows with your team before upgrading.
