Can it answer questions about my listings?

Yes, from the listing details you provide or connect. If a detail isn't there, it says so rather than guessing.

Does it follow fair-housing rules?

Yes. It will not discuss protected characteristics or steer buyers toward or away from neighborhoods, and it answers only from factual listing and public information. You remain responsible for compliance.

Can it send leads to different agents?

Frontivo.io transfers to one team number on every phone plan. For each lead it saves the area, price range and listing and alerts you right away, so you can hand it to the right agent.

Can it book showings?

Yes, based on agent availability and each listing's showing instructions.

Does it work with my real estate CRM?

On Starter and Growth, Frontivo.io keeps your leads in a built-in CRM, and on Growth it sends leads to your other tools through signed webhooks.

Can it handle sign calls?

Yes. Put your Frontivo.io number on your signs and it answers sign calls with the listing details.

How long does setup take?

Website chat can be live in about 15 minutes for most businesses, plus adding your listings. For calls, forward your existing line, or get a new number (in the US, Canada, Puerto Rico and a few other countries it is connected in seconds; most other countries, including the UK, Australia, Germany and the Philippines, need business documents first, which takes 1-3 business days; in some countries you confirm a monthly local-number fee on the card first; and where no local number is offered you get a US (+1) number in seconds).

How much does an AI answering service for real estate agents cost per month?

For a real estate team, the price depends mostly on which channels your customers use and how many calls you get each month. Frontivo.io's Phone Only plan is $199/month with 300 AI voice minutes (about 100 calls), live call transfer and missed-call text-back. Starter is $299/month and adds website chat and texting; Growth is $549/month and adds Instagram, Messenger and email. Prices are in US dollars, there is no setup fee or contract, and every plan starts with a 14-day free trial with no card. See pricing.

Does it text back missed calls?

Yes. If someone calling your real estate team hangs up or the call can't be answered, they get a text right away. Missed-call text-back comes with Phone Only, Phone Lite, Starter and Growth. On Starter and Growth the AI carries on the conversation by text; on Phone Only and Phone Lite, a reply to that text comes to you as an alert so you can answer from your own phone. Texting switches on after carrier approval for your number (every US business number needs it); outside the US and Canada texts use more of your allowance, so website chat, Instagram and Messenger usually cost less there.

Can it transfer an urgent call to me live?

Yes. When a caller to your real estate team asks for a person or the call is urgent, Frontivo.io transfers it live to the one number your team chooses on Phone Only, Phone Lite, Starter and Growth, and the person picking up hears a short spoken brief before the caller is connected; time on the transferred call counts toward your minutes. Routing different calls to several people or departments is not available yet. Website Chat Only, Text Only, Instagram Only, Messenger Only and Email Only hand off with a detailed message and an instant alert instead.

Does Frontivo.io work for real estate agents outside the US?

Yes. Frontivo.io serves real estate agents in almost every country (the few we don't serve are listed on the countries page). Website chat and email work everywhere; for calls and texts you get a local number in 40+ countries (some with a monthly local-number fee shown before setup) or a US number in any other country we serve. WhatsApp is coming soon. The country-by-country table is at countries.

Can the website chat widget book appointments?

Yes. The chat and voice widget checks your real calendar (built-in, Google Calendar or Outlook Calendar) and offers only genuinely open times, then books the slot. Install it with one script tag on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify and most site builders. It comes with every all-in-one plan and on its own with Website Chat Only at $149/month.

Why real estate agents lose leads

Real estate leads can go cold in minutes. Buyers calling from a yard sign or listing site often contact several agents, and the first to respond usually gets the showing. Agents are in showings, at closings and driving all day, so calls and web inquiries wait hours — and sellers asking "what's my home worth?" pick the agent who follows up first.

Prices and names are examples — Frontivo.io only quotes the prices and details you give it.

Booked for Saturday at 11:00 AM Eastern. I've sent you a confirmation, and the listing agent will follow up with you before the showing.

How do you set up an AI receptionist for real estate?

1
Tell Frontivo.io about your real estate team: services, prices, hours and service area — type them in or import an FAQ or services page from your website.
2
Set your rules — what counts as urgent, when to transfer to a person, and which times can be booked — then test every channel in the Channel Tester.
3
Forward your business line (or get a new Frontivo.io number: in seconds in the US and Canada, after a documents check in most other countries) and paste one line of code to add the chat and voice widget to your website.
