Lead capture and fast replies for real estate agents
Velora gives real estate agents a qualifying form that separates serious buyers and sellers from browsers before you spend a call on them. Enquiries arrive with budget, timescale and financing position already captured, and you are alerted by push and email within about 60 seconds with a drafted reply. Follow-ups run automatically at 60 minutes and 24 hours if the lead is still untouched.
Why does response speed matter for real estate agents?
Portal and ad enquiries are sent to several agents at once, and the first substantive reply usually gets the viewing. Speed alone is not enough though: arriving first with the budget and financing position already known is what turns a viewing request into a listing conversation.
The general evidence is covered on the speed to lead page: the most cited study found firms contacting a lead within an hour were nearly seven times more likely to qualify it than those contacting an hour later.
What questions would you ask on the form?
Whatever you like — Velora has no built-in question set and never writes questions for you. As a starting point, most real estate agents ask something close to:
- Are you looking to buy, sell, or rent?
- What is your budget range?
- Do you have a property to sell first?
- Have you spoken to a lender yet?
- How soon are you looking to move?
Questions branch, so the answer to one decides what gets asked next, and you can set a qualifying rule on top. For example: Qualify anyone with financing already arranged and a move date inside six months, and send everyone else a nurture reply with your market update instead of a viewing slot.
What happens after someone completes the form?
- Immediately
- The enquirer gets an automatic acknowledgement, including your booking link if you have set one.
- Within ~60 seconds
- You get a push notification and an email with their answers and a drafted reply.
- At 60 minutes
- If nobody has made contact, the enquirer gets a nudge and you get a reminder.
- At 24 hours
- A final escalation alert to you if the lead is still untouched.
- As soon as you reply
- Every automatic follow-up stops permanently.
Common questions from real estate agents
- Can I run a different form for buyers and sellers?
- Yes. Accounts can create unlimited forms, each with its own questions, branding and follow-up settings, and the lead inbox gives every form its own tab with unread counts.
- Can I put a form on a specific listing?
- Yes. Embed the form inline on a listing page, add it as a floating chat bubble, or use the hosted link and QR code on a window card or brochure.
- Will I know which advert a lead came from?
- UTM parameters are captured against every lead, and completion rate is tracked per form, so you can see which source produces enquiries that actually finish the form.
