what it does

the first reply is ours. the rest is yours.

  1. 01

    Replies for you

    Day or night, at a viewing or on the road. The first reply comes two minutes after their message, so it never feels pushy.

  2. 02

    Asks your questions

    Buying or renting, which area, what budget. Two or three questions, never an interrogation.

  3. 03

    Alerts and reminds you

    You get the answers and a link to the chat, and a reminder if the lead is still waiting.

  4. 04

    Hands over what matters

    Price, offers, the condition of a home, anything legal: those always come straight to you.

the record

every lead, on the record.

Each enquiry is logged from the first message to the agent’s call, so a principal can see which leads were followed up, and how fast.

questions agents ask

the short answers.

Does it reply as me?

No. It introduces itself as your assistant, by your name, so the buyer knows a person is on the way and who it will be.

Do I need a new WhatsApp number?

Yes. The assistant runs on a WhatsApp Business number of its own, so your personal WhatsApp stays exactly as it is.

What happens to my clients’ information?

You stay responsible for it under POPIA, and we process it only on your instructions, to run the service. We never sell it or use it for advertising. Our privacy policy has the detail.

What does it cost?

Each office is priced after a short conversation about how many agents and leads you have: a once-off setup fee and a monthly fee, quoted in writing. Meta’s own WhatsApp message charges are passed on at cost and shown separately. There is no minimum term: cancel any time on 20 business days’ notice, and the number, the leads and every conversation are yours to keep.

Do you also build websites?

Yes. Fast, mobile-first websites for agents and agencies, where every page leads to a WhatsApp message or a call and works hand in hand with the assistant. Ask about a website.
