The challenge

What was the problem?

A mid-size real estate agency in Buenos Aires was generating 80–120 inbound inquiries per day across WhatsApp, their website, and Instagram DMs. Their 4-person sales team was responsible for manually qualifying every lead — asking about property preferences, budget range, financing status, and availability for a visit.

↳The average response time to a new inquiry was 4–6 hours — by which point many leads had already contacted competitors
↳Each qualification conversation took 15–25 minutes of a sales rep's time, leaving little bandwidth for follow-up with warm leads
↳Leads from evening and weekend hours were never contacted until the next business day — a 12–16 hour gap
↳No structured data was captured: the team had no reliable way to segment leads by budget, intent, or urgency

The solution

What we built

We designed and deployed a multi-step pre-qualification agent integrated into their WhatsApp Business and website chat. The agent operates as the first point of contact for every inbound inquiry, around the clock.

Instant greeting and intent detection

The agent greets every new contact within 3 seconds, identifies whether they're looking to buy, rent, or sell, and adapts the conversation flow accordingly.

Structured 5-question qualification flow

The agent asks about property type preference, desired zones, budget range, financing status (cash, mortgage pre-approval, or exploring options), and visit availability — capturing everything in structured form.

Automatic scoring and CRM sync

Based on the responses, the agent scores the lead (Hot / Warm / Cold) and immediately creates or updates the contact record in their CRM with all captured data, including the full conversation transcript.

Sales rep notification and handoff

Hot leads trigger an immediate Slack notification to the assigned sales rep with the full lead profile. The agent schedules the property tour directly in their calendar. Warm leads enter a follow-up sequence. Cold leads receive nurture content.

Before, our team was spending most of their morning just responding to WhatsApp messages. Now those leads arrive pre-qualified, scored, and already with a visit scheduled. Our sales reps only deal with people who are genuinely ready to buy.
