Your own US number, pick any area code

It's a real phone line you and your team can use, not just an AI. Your team answers, or the AI does when nobody picks up. Either way the call is recorded, summarized and filed on the contact, in one inbox. Call, text and chat from the app, ring it to your cell, put it on your yard signs and listings, or port in the number you already have.

What's different from forwarding calls to an AI receptionist?

Most AI receptionists just forward the calls you miss to their AI, so they only ever see those. Fast Response is the business line itself, so every call lands in one place.

Can you afford to miss a call?

Why use an answering service for real estate?

A buyer calling about a listing is calling three agents; the first to answer gets the showing, and most of those calls land mid-showing or after hours. Fast Response answers on the first ring on your own number, tells the caller whether the listing is still available, books the showing into your calendar, and texts you the summary. Your agents pick up any call live from the app; either way the call is logged the same way.

A missed buyer call about your listing is a showing, and maybe a commission, that goes to the agent who picked up first.

What can the AI answer about a listing?

Whatever you set up per listing: price, beds and baths, parking, pets, showing windows. It answers those, offers open slots, confirms by text, and sends anything else to the right agent. Follow Up Boss users get every call and text logged against the lead; Calendly users get showings booked directly.

How much does a real estate answering service cost?

Human services: $200-500 a month and a message. Fast Response: $29 a month for the line, AI and texting; $79 for team accounts and integrations; $249 for campaigns to your database (A2P registration required, two to three weeks). No contract; test it on a real number before adding a card.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Fast Response starts at $29/mo and covers your whole team, with no per-seat fees and no contract. Most agents are live in about 5 minutes, and you only pay more if you go past your monthly call and text allowances. See full pricing →

Yes. Fast Response learns your active listings and answers buyer questions about price, features, and availability — then books the showing.

When a lead calls and you can't pick up, the AI answers on the first ring. If they hang up first, the missed-call auto-text (Pro and up) texts them back in seconds and keeps the conversation going until a showing is booked.

Yes. The AI answers 24/7 — exactly when open-house and listing calls come in and nobody's at a desk. Every inquiry is recorded, summarized, and logged, so weekend leads get followed up instead of forgotten.

No. It answers the calls your team can't get to and hands qualified buyers and sellers straight to the right agent, live from the app. You stay in every conversation that matters.

Yes. Booked showings sync to Google Calendar and your CRM automatically, with reminders sent to the buyer.

Yes. You can port your existing number over to Fast Response, or keep it where it is and forward missed calls to your AI assistant. In our mobile app, your personal calls and Fast Response calls are clearly labeled on the call screen, so you always know which is which.

Yes. On any plan you can place calls and send single texts from the web or mobile app, and the AI can send one-to-one follow-up texts on your behalf. Mass outbound calling and texting — importing a list and launching campaigns — is on the Scale plan and requires A2P registration (approval usually takes 2–3 weeks). You're always in control of what goes out.

The AI answers calls in 40+ languages and switches to the caller's language automatically. Call transcripts, summaries, and text replies are available in 11 languages.

All data is encrypted in transit and stored on U.S.-based servers. Your recordings, transcripts, and summaries stay private unless you choose to share them, and we never sell your data.
