Real Estate Answering Service That's Also Your Phone System
Buyers, sellers and new leads reach your team first. When nobody can pick up, the AI receptionist answers 24/7, qualifies the lead, books the showing, and logs every call, human or AI, in one inbox.
Keep your current number: port it over, or simply forward it.
Ask about a listing, call about a yard sign, or book a showing. It's a demo line for a fictional brokerage.

A customer texts your business number instead of calling. The AI replies from the same number in seconds and carries it by text until the tour's booked. The thread lands in the same inbox as your calls.

Train it once on your listings, showing windows and agents. Then it handles buyers, sellers and other agents, and hands off when it should.

01Buyers
Answers listing questions
Price, beds and baths, HOA, parking, pets, availability: it answers from your active listings, then offers showing times.
“Saw your sign on Pine, is it still for sale?”
02Showings
Books showings on your calendar
Showings go on your Google or Outlook calendar with a confirmation text to the buyer, and the listing agent is assigned.
“Any offers on my place yet?”
03Sellers
Keeps sellers in the loop
Seller check-ins are logged to the listing. Questions about offers or price get a callback from the agent, never a guess.
“Can my client see it tomorrow around noon?”
04Other agents
Coordinates buyer-agent requests
Showing requests from other agents are checked against your calendar, confirmed and logged, so nobody plays phone tag.
An agent picks up between showings, the AI stays out of it.
05Your team
Rings your agents first
Every agent's phone rings for about 15 seconds before the AI steps in. Anyone can watch an AI call live, whisper, or take it over.

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.
Forwarding to an AI

Real estate, in depth
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.
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. On Pro and up, Follow Up Boss users get every call and text logged against the lead, and showings land on your Google or Outlook calendar.
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.
Fast Response starts at $29/mo, and $79/mo covers your whole team with no per-seat fees. 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 your team can't pick up, the AI answers, qualifies them and books the showing. Leads who text instead get an instant AI reply from the same number, carried 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 up to 40 languages and switches to the caller's language automatically. Transcripts are accurate in 10 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Hindi, Russian, Portuguese, Japanese, Italian and Dutch.
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.
