A buyer calling from a yard sign about a listing
It notes which property and what they want, asks once when they'd like to see it, gets their name and texts you. It can answer listing facts you've approved, such as bedrooms or square footage.
AI receptionist for real estate agents and brokerages
AI receptionist for real estate agents. Answers while you're at a showing.
Avowis answers calls to your real estate business, including the ones that come in during a showing or a closing. It takes what the caller is after, a preferred time and their name, then texts you the message. It never says what a home is worth and never schedules a showing; you confirm times when you call back.
Free trial: 14 days or 100 call minutes, whichever comes first.

The calls you can’t take.
Answered while you work.
Agents spend the day driving between showings, sitting open houses and meeting sellers at the kitchen table. Sign calls come in whenever someone drives past a yard sign, often on a Saturday afternoon when you're already with another buyer. A buyer who wants to see the three-bed this weekend and gets voicemail will usually call the next agent they find online.
"What do you think my house is worth?"
It never gives a value or a pricing opinion. It takes the inquiry as a message so you can follow up about listing.
"Would the sellers take less?" or "Have there been other offers?"
It doesn't comment on pricing or negotiations. It notes the question for you to answer on the callback.
"What would my monthly payment be?"
It gives no financial advice and never states rates or whether someone would qualify. It passes the question on with the message.

No financial advice
The receptionist never gives financial, tax, insurance or investment advice. It never states rates, premiums or fees, and never says whether someone is likely to qualify. It never asks for account numbers, Social Security numbers, income or balances.
Your business.
In your own words.
You teach it in plain words during setup, and it only uses answers you approve. For a real estate business, start with these.
Your current listings and the facts you're comfortable sharing: beds, baths, square footage, open house times
The towns and neighborhoods you work, and whether you help buyers, sellers, renters or all three
Your brokerage's office hours and address
Whether you want listing inquiries and showing requests passed to you by live transfer when the caller asks for you
A few good
questions.
What real estate agents and brokerages ask before the first hello.
Will it give callers a home value or price opinion?
No. It never says what a home is worth or whether a price is fair. It takes the inquiry as a message so you can have that conversation.
Can it schedule showings on my calendar?
No. It takes the caller's preferred time with the message, and you confirm the showing when you call back.
Can it answer questions about my listings?
Yes, from the facts you've approved, such as bedrooms, square footage or open house times. If the answer isn't there, it takes a message.
What if a buyer asks about mortgages or what they can afford?
It never gives financial advice and never states rates or whether someone would qualify. It passes the question on so you can point them to a lender.
Can it put a caller through to my cell?
Yes, if you turn on live transfer. When a caller asks for a person, it rings the phone you choose. If you're with clients and don't pick up, the caller is told the team will call back.
Can I keep the number on my signs?
Yes. You can forward your existing number to Avowis, so the number on your signs and cards stays the same.
