Vertical AI for real estate: the agent that handles the buyer's first 10 conversations
Real estate agents lose deals to slow follow-up. The AI that texts every Zillow lead within 60 seconds, qualifies them, and books a showing wins the broker market.
Why now
The lead-conversion gap in residential real estate is 6x. Brokers know it. The tools that exist (Lofty, Top Producer) are CRMs, not agents. The greenfield is the agent that runs the front-of-funnel.
The idea you could build today
Twilio number per agent, text/voice routing. New lead comes in, agent texts immediately, asks 5 qualifying questions, books the showing on the agent's Google Calendar. Fall back to a human at any escalation. Bill per-booking, not per-seat.
Build stack
- ·Twilio Voice + SMS
- ·Vapi or Cartesia for voice agents
- ·Postgres for the lead graph
- ·Stripe for per-booking pricing

The seed-round pattern hiding in the trendline
Real-estate-CRM OSS repos that ship an SMS / voice-agent layer in a 90-day window are the seed-round tells. The velocity in the voice-routing module is the lead indicator.
Frequently asked
What about Lofty / Top Producer?+
Both are CRMs with an AI sidebar. The product here is agent-first, the lead conversion is the wedge, and the CRM is a side effect.
