Most real estate professionals face a common problem: there aren’t enough hours in the day to answer every client question, explain complex property details, or provide market updates to everyone who needs them.
You might repeatedly explain the same concepts about mortgage rates, property taxes, or local market conditions.
Meanwhile, potential leads want answers at 10 PM when you’re having dinner with your family – and they usually want them fast.
ElevenLabs has introduced a solution that might interest you – AI-powered conversation agents that can speak in your voice and handle many of these repetitive tasks.
I tested this technology, creating an agent trained on my real estate leadership article in about 10 minutes.
The agent, which I named Agent Samurai (get it?! 😉), now chats with readers and answers their questions about the content.
If you like, you can play with it here.
When you click on the article, you’ll see a widget with a question; click on that, choose your language, accept the terms and conditions, and start chatting.
That’s it.
When you jump on, notice how quickly it responds – so different from what it used to be.
Why this matters for estate agents
Consider how much time you spend answering basic questions about properties or market conditions.
These AI agents can take some of the load off by:
- Provide 24/7 support on your website, answer common questions about listings, neighbourhoods, and market trends (with automation to alert you to get in touch with them!)
- Explaining complex topics like mortgage requirements or property tax calculations
- Offering multilingual support for international buyers and sellers
- Guiding potential clients through initial property searches
- Legislation and legislation changes.
If you’re stuck for ideas on how to use this, here are several other ways you could put it into action:
Property Listings Support
The agent can answer detailed questions about any property listing, from room dimensions to school districts.
Potential buyers can ask about specific features, recent renovations, or neighbourhood amenities at any time.
Market Analysis Assistant
Create an agent trained on your market reports and local property data. It can explain market trends, price changes, and investment opportunities to interested clients.
First-Time Buyer Guide
Develop an agent that walks first-time buyers through the entire purchase process, explaining each step, required documents, and common pitfalls to avoid.
Investment Property Advisor
Train an agent to help investors understand potential returns, rental market conditions, and property management requirements in your area.
Getting Started with AI Agents
Based on my experience creating Agent Samurai, here’s what you need to consider:
Content Preparation Start with your existing content – market reports, property descriptions, or educational materials. The agent will use this information to answer questions accurately.
Voice Selection You can either use your own voice like I have (which requires some voice samples) or choose from available voice options. This helps maintain a personal touch in automated interactions.
Integration Planning Think about where the agent will be most useful – your website, social media, or even in email responses. The agent should complement your existing communication channels.
