real estate answering service leads to more appointments

Putting words into action

Your next incoming call could result in the biggest real estate deal of your career. Or it could take you away from the biggest deal of your career.

Incoming real estate phone calls are the lifeblood of any real estate office and dependable live answering services are the key to making a surviving business a thriving one. Trusting your incoming calls to a real estate answering service may be one the most important business decisions you’ll ever make—and one of the most useful sales tools you’ll ever use.

How can we make a claim like that? The real estate business has unique needs. We don’t have to tell you how valuable real estate agents’ time is. Answering the phone takes you away from showing properties, closing sales and other important tasks that require your full attention—and a substantial amount of hand-holding. Less rigorous tasks, such as scheduling and managing showings, home staging, and placing ads can be delegated to support staff.

Expert Real Estate Call Center Services

Trusting inbound calls and lead generation to a professional call center provides you with more time to cultivate existing prospects and close deals—and maybe take the occasional day or weekend off. Even appraisers, inspectors, and property managers who also experience service bottlenecks can benefit from our solutions.

Call it a real estate answering service or a “virtual receptionist," but make no
mistake—there’s nothing virtual about the benefits your group will realize
from CCS Real Estate Answering Service:

  • Answer calls more efficiently and cost-effectively
  • Make appointments even when you're unavailable
  • Allow agents and other team members to focus on revenue-generating activities such as home staging and open houses

How does a Real Estate Answering Service work?

  1. You market your real estate service using a separate phone number (different from your cell phone number) in ads or direct mail, on your website and of course business cards.
  2. The prospect calls the number.
  3. A specially trained CCS real estate call service agent answers the phone.
  4. The agent discusses your services with the sales prospect, providing answers to questions and promoting your service.
  5. The call center passes on warm leads, those who are actually interested in setting up an appointment, while passive callers are filtered out.
  6. By the time you pick up the phone, the lead is ready to schedule an
    appointment.
  7. If you’re not available to speak with the caller, our agent can take a message or schedule an appointment for you.

Putting the power into practice

RE/MAX Associates in Cedar Rapids, Iowa used our Real Estate Answering Service to rethink their business model from one where the most productive agents were fielding dead end calls to where those agents were linked with real buyers and sellers ready to move forward.

The takeaway? The office and agents boosted their efficiency and profitability, without spending endless hours on the phone or adding extra staff to answer calls. Instead, our real estate call center handled everything from answering the calls to scheduling and managing the appointments. We empowered the brokers to do what they do best: help their clients take the next step in their home ownership journey.
