Take seller details when someone calls after your usual working hours.
- Keep your current number
Choose forwarding rules for the business line your marketing already uses.
- Start with context
Ask what property the caller wants to discuss with your team.

Seller calls can reach your receptionist after hours or while you are occupied with a property visit. Someone may pick up your marketing later in the evening and want to ask how your buying process works. Your real estate investor answering service uses the process details you provide to begin that conversation.
Choose after-hours forwarding if you want to answer daytime calls yourself. Busy or no-answer forwarding can cover the calls that arrive while you are already speaking with someone.
The greeting identifies the receptionist as a virtual assistant and tells the seller the call is recorded. From there, it asks your intake questions and takes a message you can use when you return the call. Try the fictional investor seller call before configuring your line.
Collect the Address, Seller Situation, and Callback Time
Your receptionist asks for the property address, the reason for calling, and a useful callback time. You choose the intake questions so your acquisitions team starts with context rather than a phone number alone.
- Identify the property
Ask for the address the seller wants your team to consider.
- Hear their request
Capture what the caller says about selling and their preferred next step.
- Plan the callback
Take contact details and ask when the seller would like to talk.

A useful seller message ties the callback number to a property and a reason for the inquiry. Tell your receptionist which questions matter before acquisitions returns a call. That might include the address, the caller's relationship to the property, the condition they describe, and when they would like to speak.
The receptionist records the seller's account rather than verifying ownership or inspecting the house. You review the summary and ask further questions during your callback. If you use Google Calendar, it can book a conversation according to your instructions; otherwise, it takes the details for you to arrange the time. Call alerts arrive by email and app push with the summary, urgency tag, transcript, and recording, so you can review the conversation before replying.
Capture Inherited, Occupied, and As-Is Property Details
Your receptionist can take a seller's description of an inherited, occupied, or as-is property and pass it to you. It gathers the details you request without deciding ownership, access rights, or property condition.
- Inherited property inquiries
Ask the caller to describe their relationship to the home.
- Occupied property questions
Record what the caller says about occupancy for your later review.
- As-is seller requests
Capture reported condition and questions about your stated buying process.
Keep reading
Different property situations need different intake questions, and you decide which details your receptionist should ask for. For an inherited-house inquiry, it can ask how the caller is connected to the property and what they want to discuss. For an occupied home, it can note the caller's description of occupancy without arranging access on that information alone.
An as-is seller might describe repairs they do not want to undertake. Your receptionist can capture that account and explain your buying process from the information you supplied. It leaves repair estimates, ownership questions, and tenant matters for your team's follow-up. Use the inherited-house demo to test whether your proposed intake questions leave room for the seller to explain the situation.
Keep Offers and Closing Dates With Your Team
Your receptionist collects questions about price and timing for your team; it does not make offers or promise closing dates. Give it your process information so sellers understand what you will discuss next.
- Capture price questions
Note what the seller wants to ask without estimating the property's value.
- Record timing preferences
Ask about the seller's desired timeline without committing your business.
- Explain your next step
Use your supplied process details to prepare a conversation with acquisitions.
Keep reading
Offers and closing commitments stay with your acquisitions team. A seller may open with a question about what you would pay or how soon a sale could happen. Your receptionist can ask which property they mean, collect their timing preference, and take the question for your response.
Give it a clear description of the next step in your process, such as a callback to discuss the property. It can explain that step from your instructions without quoting a valuation, negotiating terms, or presenting a requested date as an agreed deadline. You get the seller's stated priorities in the call record. That gives your team a starting point for the conversation while keeping decisions about price, terms, and timing with the person authorized to make them.
Route Urgent Seller Calls to Acquisitions
Your receptionist can warm transfer urgent calls to your on-call acquisitions person or page them in your chosen order. You define urgency during onboarding so routine seller inquiries can remain messages or booked conversations.
- Define urgent inquiries
Tell the receptionist which seller situations should reach your on-call person.
- Use a warm transfer
Your recipient hears a short summary before accepting the call.
- Choose the routing order
Set who receives urgent calls and how your receptionist reaches them.
Keep reading
Urgent seller inquiries follow the routing instructions you give your receptionist. Define which requests need an immediate attempt to reach acquisitions and which should become callbacks. A seller asking a routine process question may need a message, while a situation you have marked urgent can trigger a warm transfer or page.
For a warm transfer, your on-call person hears a short summary and presses 1 to accept the call. You set the contact order during onboarding and can change settings by telling the AI in plain words. Review the urgency tags in your call alerts to see how your instructions fit actual inquiries. Keep the criteria tied to the request the caller makes, with enough information for your team to decide how to respond.
Choose All-Call, Overflow, or After-Hours Coverage
You can forward all business calls or choose coverage for unanswered, busy, or after-hours calls. Start with the part of your day that needs coverage, then test the route before using it for seller inquiries.
- All business calls
Let your receptionist begin incoming conversations once your forwarding is active.
- Busy or unanswered calls
Keep answering yourself while giving other inquiries a place to land.
- After-hours calls
Take seller messages outside your hours using the intake questions you set.
Keep reading
Coverage follows the forwarding option you choose for your existing number. All-call forwarding gives your receptionist the first conversation with incoming callers. Busy or no-answer forwarding lets you keep picking up while passing selected calls to the service. After-hours coverage gives sellers a way to leave the details you need when your working day ends.
We provide a local number, a forwarding guide for your carrier or phone system, and a test call before you go live. You can see calls and usage in the dashboard while deciding whether your coverage fits your workflow. The service is month to month, with online cancellation. Review the call coverage setup and trial and plan details before choosing your forwarding option for your trial.
Quick answers
How does the AI receptionist handle a seller call?
It answers as your business using the information and intake questions you provide. It asks about the property and the seller's request, then takes a message, books a conversation in Google Calendar, or follows your urgent routing instructions. Your team handles valuation, offers, negotiation, and decisions about the proposed sale.
Can I keep the phone number on my marketing?
Yes. You keep your business number and forward the calls you choose to the local number we provide. The forwarding guide covers your carrier or phone system, and you complete a test call before going live. Choose all-call coverage or forwarding for busy, unanswered, or after-hours calls based on how you work.
Can it book callbacks for my acquisitions team?
Your receptionist can book appointments into Google Calendar under the instructions you set. If your team prefers to arrange its own calls, it can take the seller's number, property address, and requested callback time instead. Booking a conversation does not commit your business to an offer, a property visit, or a closing date.
Does it speak Spanish on seller calls?
Yes. Your receptionist speaks English and Spanish, and sellers can switch languages during a call. It uses your business information and intake questions to collect the property details and the reason for calling. Your acquisitions team can review the call record before returning the inquiry or taking a scheduled conversation.
Can it transfer an urgent seller inquiry to me?
Yes. Set your urgency criteria and on-call contact order during onboarding. Your receptionist can attempt a warm transfer or page the person you specify. During a warm transfer, the recipient hears a short summary and presses 1 to take the call. Routine inquiries can remain messages for your team to return.
How do I receive seller messages and recordings?
You receive an email and app push notification for each call, with a summary, urgency tag, transcript, and recording. A daily digest email helps you review the day's conversations. The dashboard also holds your calls, usage, and settings, so you can inspect a seller's exact words before returning the inquiry.
