Benefits of a call answering service

Better call management

Our PAs will help you manage maintenance calls and other requests, freeing your staff up to focus on closing sales whilst our answering service handles the calls. Get immediate access to all call recordings via your client portal or app.

Extend your selling hours

Buyers and sellers can’t always call you during the usual work hours of 9 to 5. With our after hours answering service for property management and our managed live chat service, you can extend your business hours into the evenings and weekends, capturing more enquiries without increasing your own workload.

Free trial

We know it’s a big decision to invest in a call answering service and understand how it could work for your company. That’s why we offer a no-obligation, 7-day free trial, so you can sample all the benefits we offer, without the commitment.

A reliable property telephone answering service

80% of callers don’t leave a voicemail and go to another agency when a company doesn’t pick up.

When people are looking to buy, sell or rent a home, they want to speak to someone quickly. But as a busy estate or lettings agency, you’ll need staff to be out completing valuations and viewings, updating online listings, and responding to partners in the sales chain. Missed calls may mean missed sales, so make sure this isn’t the case with a professional, reliable, property telephone answering service.

    What are the benefits of using a property telephone answering service?

    Our real estate call answering service provides a reliable, efficient way for property managers and agents to handle incoming calls from tenants, prospective buyers, and other stakeholders.

    A property telephone answering service ensures that all incoming calls are answered promptly, enhancing customer satisfaction, and increasing the likelihood of your team qualifying better quality leads and sales. An outsourced service can also handle after-hours and emergency calls, making sure your clients don’t go unanswered and that you seize every sales opportunity. This saves time and resources, and helps you to maintain a professional reputation.

    A property management answering service can also assist with screening potential tenants or buyers before scheduling property viewings, streamlining the rental process, while saving you time and resources.

    Do you provide an after hours answering service for property management?

    Our property management answering service PAs are available to answer your calls from:

    • 8am-8pm Monday to Friday
    • 9am-5:30pm Saturday
    • 10am-4pm Sunday

    This allows you to extend the hours you’re able to answer the phone, without needing to be at your desk or in the office.

     

    How do you deliver my messages?

    There are several ways our lettings and estate agent answering service PAs can get your messages to you. Your calls can be automatically sent to your client portal once the call is complete, so you can see the details of the caller and the detailed message our PAs have taken for you. Alternatively, you can choose to be notified via email.

    How will your property telephone answering service PAs answer my calls?

    When a call comes through to our PAs, they can immediately identify it’s for your business and whether the caller is a new or returning caller. This allows us to adapt and personalise how we greet them.

    For a new caller, we’ll make a great first impression on your behalf and can either take detailed messages to be forwarded to your team to deal with when it’s convenient, or we can transfer calls to the right member of your team.

    For some enquiries (like those about your services), our property telephone answering service PAs can answer queries directly, so callers get the information they need without your team needing to divert their attention from closing sales.

    Do I need to sign a long-term contract for your real estate answering service?

    No – if you decide to continue with our property management answering service after your 7-day free trial, you’ll be offered a 90-day rolling contract that can be altered as and when you need.

    To make changes to your monthly call answering package, you just need to contact us before that month’s invoice, and we’ll sort the rest for you.

    Can you schedule appointments for me?

    Yes, our property management answering service PAs can schedule viewings or other appointments for you, so you can keep the chain moving, even when you can’t get to the phone yourself.

    Will my calls be recorded?

    Yes, we’re the only estate agent answering service that gives you immediate access to full call recordings via our customer portal. You can listen to all your messages in full via our app 24/7, so you can be sure our PAs are handling every call exactly as you’d expect from a professional call handling service.
