## What does an AI receptionist do for a real estate agent?

An AI receptionist for a real estate agent answers the calls that come in from yard signs, listing sites, and past clients while you are showing another property or driving between appointments. Nuteq AI answers questions from the listing details you add, such as price, bedrooms, and open house times, and says when it does not know rather than guessing. It asks the qualifying questions you write, including budget, timeline, and whether the buyer has talked to a lender, and records the answers in the caller’s own words. Serious buyers are booked into a showing, sellers into a consultation, and everyone else is saved as a lead for follow-up. It does not give valuation, legal, or financing advice. You get a recording, transcript, and summary of every call, so you know who to call back first.

- **Answers:** Phone, text messages, WhatsApp, and website chat
- **Listing questions:** Answered from the details you add
- **Qualifies:** Budget, timing, and financing
- **Books:** Showings and seller consultations
- **Weekends:** Answered like weekdays

- It does not pull listings from the MLS. It answers from the listing details you add.
- It does not connect to Follow Up Boss or other real estate CRMs today. Leads are saved in Nuteq AI.
