What Makes Fast Response Work
Buyers inquire about properties because they're actively searching right now. They look at multiple properties simultaneously. They will contact the agent who responds first. They move on quickly if no one responds.
Win with speed
Common Lead Sources
Automated follow-up captures leads from web forms, Zillow inquiries, social ads (Facebook, Instagram), Google ads, referrals from past clients, and open house sign-in sheets. Automate follow-up for all sources.
Capture every lead
Why Manual Follow-Up Struggles
Can't call at 8pm or weekends when leads arrive. Takes 5-10 minutes per call to leave voicemail. Miss leads when agent is in showing or driving. Doesn't scale for high-volume lead generation. Inconsistent follow-up misses opportunities.
