For estate agents · South Africa

A viewing request answered in 30 seconds is a client

Property enquiries are fast, comparative and often after hours. The agent who replies with the right listing details first usually gets the mandate, the viewing, or both. AskZuri answers every one, qualifies the buyer and books the viewing.

Where estate agents lose the work

It is rarely the quote. It is the hour between the enquiry and the reply. These are the three places it happens most.

Viewing requests need a diary, not a callback

"I'll call you tomorrow" loses the weekend. A booked viewing keeps the buyer away from the next agency.

Sellers want a valuation answer now

A seller deciding on an agent is comparing responsiveness as much as commission.

Rentals are volume work

Twenty enquiries for one unit. The ones answered first get the application fee and the tenant.

What customers actually send

These are the messages that decide whether a estate agent gets the job. An assistant that answers them properly is worth more than another advert.

“Is the Bryanston house still available? Can I see it this weekend?”
“What is my house in Randburg worth?”
“Do you handle rentals under R12,000 in Pretoria East?”
“I need a bond pre-approval before I view anything.”
“Can you send me the floor plan and levy for that unit?”

What AskZuri knows about your business

You write it once, in your own words. The assistant never invents a price, a policy or a promise.

  • Your listings, prices, levies, availability and viewing rules.
  • Your areas, your rental bands and which mandates you actually hold.
  • What it must never do: give a formal valuation, or promise a bond will be approved.
  • Everything else is escalated to a person, with the customer's details attached.

What it will not do: it does not give professional advice, does not diagnose, and does not pretend to be a human when asked directly.

What is at stake

One additional sale commission is worth more than years of any software subscription. One extra rental management mandate is recurring income. Speed is the cheapest competitive advantage in this market.

You do not need a marketing budget to fix this. You need the enquiry answered while the customer is still holding the phone.

Answers in seconds

Website chat, WhatsApp and after-hours enquiries get a real answer immediately, not an auto-reply that says “we'll be in touch”.

Only the leads worth your time

Every enquiry is checked and scored. Hot, contactable leads come to your phone with one tap to call or WhatsApp. The rest wait in a daily summary.

Written down, every time

Name, number, what they need and permission to reply. One place, not five apps and a notebook.

Questions estate agents ask

Can it show listings?

It can answer with the details you give it and link to the listing page. It does not scrape other agencies' stock, and it will say when a property is sold or withdrawn if you keep the list current.

Can it book viewings?

Yes, into your calendar with the buyer's details, and it can send the confirmation and directions. You approve the diary rules once.

Is it POPIA-safe for tenant screening?

It collects only contact details and what the person asks for. Screening documents are requested through your existing process, not stored in chat.

Do I need this if I am on Property24?

Portal leads are exactly the ones that go cold fastest. The portal sends the enquiry; nobody answers it at 20:00. This is the answer.
