You're showing a $625K listing on a Saturday. The phone rings — a new buyer who saw the open-house sign. You can't break off the showing. By the time you call back, they're with another agent. That's a $18,750 buyer-side commission gone.
The industry average: a service business misses $50,000 a year in revenue from calls that went to voicemail. BIA Advisory put the number on it. Every owner who's ever looked at three missed calls already knew. Your competitor down the road answers their phone — or their answering service does, or their AI does. The caller picks whoever picks up. That's the whole game.
Sophia knows the difference between a lookie-loo and a pre-approved buyer. She qualifies budget, timeline, and pre-approval status, books showings around your calendar, chases the leads who said 'I'm just looking' until they're ready to write, and the moment an offer comes in she runs the offer-received chain — earnest deposit link to the buyer, listing-agent-or-counter notification to you, escrow-officer handoff. Pre-approval handoff to your preferred lender fires automatically the second a buyer says they're ready.
Plain English. No menus. No 'press 1 for service.'

See your industryTraditional answering services take a message. Sophia actually does the job — she answers in your business name, knows your hours and prices, books the appointment to your calendar, and sends the confirmation text. No callback queue. No missed handoff. The job is closed before you get back to your truck.
Most owners are live in 10 minutes. We forward your existing business line — no number change, no carrier ticket. You keep your number; Sophia just picks up when you can't.
Yes. On every new-buyer call she asks the qualifier questions — timeline (30/60/90 days?), pre-approval status (cash, conventional, FHA, none), price range, areas of interest. Hot leads (pre-approved, <30 days) get same-day showing offers. Warm leads get drip nurture.
Sophia fires the offer-received chain. She texts the buyer the earnest-deposit link (your escrow company, your wiring instructions). She pings you with the offer terms + a one-tap 'counter / accept / reject' shortcut. She emails the listing agent or counter party in your voice. And she queues the lender hand-off so your preferred mortgage partner sees the file the same day.
Yes. Seller calls trigger a different intake — property address, mortgage payoff estimate, timeline to list, condition. She books a CMA consult with you, texts the seller a pre-listing checklist before the visit, and runs the listing-expiring nurture chain at 60 days so pocket-listing leads don't go cold on you.
Sophia is live in 10 minutes. Every call answered. Every job booked. From $5/hour.
