Real estate agents: how many leads do you lose because you reply late?

I’ve been talking to a few real estate agents recently and noticed a common issue…

Most leads come from ads or portals, but replies aren’t instant—and by the time you respond, the client has already moved on.

Out of curiosity, how do you guys handle incoming inquiries?

• Manual replies? • Team handling it? • Or some kind of automation?

I’ve seen that instant WhatsApp responses can make a big difference, especially for high-intent buyers.

Would love to know what’s working for you all.
