00:00.145 --> 00:03.895
A buyer enquires about three listings at eleven at night.

00:03.895 --> 00:07.079
By morning, two other agencies have already called them.

00:07.079 --> 00:10.540
In property, the first to call back usually wins.

00:10.540 --> 00:14.660
Here's how AI can turn an agency around, step by step.

00:15.038 --> 00:18.157
Picture an agency with thirty negotiators.

00:18.157 --> 00:21.802
Enquiries pour in from portals, ads and chat,

00:21.802 --> 00:24.038
but many wait until the next morning.

00:24.038 --> 00:26.552
Leads get lost between negotiators.

00:26.552 --> 00:29.446
Buyers who aren't ready yet are simply forgotten.

00:29.446 --> 00:31.696
Viewings get booked and don't happen.

00:31.696 --> 00:33.459
And good negotiators leave,

00:33.459 --> 00:37.003
because they spend their days chasing cold leads.

00:37.578 --> 00:38.881
First, listening.

00:38.881 --> 00:40.631
Where do enquiries come from?

00:40.631 --> 00:42.867
How long until someone replies?

00:42.867 --> 00:44.999
How many viewings actually happen?

00:44.999 --> 00:46.670
Then the awkward cases:

00:46.670 --> 00:50.288
buying or renting, own-stay or investment,

00:50.288 --> 00:53.946
an overseas buyer, a landlord rather than a buyer.

00:53.946 --> 00:56.091
And the rules: in many markets,

00:56.091 --> 00:59.012
property ads must show licence details,

00:59.012 --> 01:01.157
some need a permit before they run,

01:01.157 --> 01:04.424
and nobody should promise investment returns.

01:04.958 --> 01:07.287
Then the AI learns the agency:

01:07.287 --> 01:09.985
every listing, its size and features,

01:09.985 --> 01:12.971
its viewing rules, what each area is like,

01:12.971 --> 01:15.366
and which negotiator covers which area.

01:15.366 --> 01:19.028
So when a buyer asks, it actually knows the answer.

01:19.558 --> 01:22.400
Now every call and chat is answered in minutes,

01:22.400 --> 01:26.545
day or night, in English, Malay or Mandarin.

01:26.545 --> 01:29.703
The AI asks the questions a good negotiator would:

01:29.703 --> 01:33.782
buying or renting, which area, when they hope to move.

01:33.782 --> 01:37.032
Then it books a viewing straight into the right calendar.

01:37.032 --> 01:41.022
Questions about loans or legal matters go to a person.

01:41.571 --> 01:42.835
Next, routing.

01:42.835 --> 01:45.821
Each lead goes to the negotiator who fits:

01:45.821 --> 01:49.742
the right area, the right language, the right specialty.

01:49.742 --> 01:51.098
And it's shared fairly,

01:51.098 --> 01:54.335
so nobody hoards leads and nobody starves.

01:54.335 --> 01:56.137
The agency can finally see how

01:56.137 --> 01:59.128
fast every lead is followed up.

01:59.671 --> 02:02.040
Buyers research before they ever call.

02:02.040 --> 02:04.750
So the agency's website becomes useful:

02:04.750 --> 02:06.185
honest area guides,

02:06.185 --> 02:09.553
clear listing pages with viewings bookable online,

02:09.553 --> 02:13.171
written so Google and AI search tools understand them.

02:13.171 --> 02:16.583
And every listing stays in step with the portals.

02:17.092 --> 02:19.382
Most buyers aren't ready on day one.

02:19.382 --> 02:21.171
So instead of being forgotten,

02:21.171 --> 02:24.119
they stay warm, with only what's useful:

02:24.119 --> 02:26.737
a message when a matching listing appears,

02:26.737 --> 02:29.750
a reminder before a viewing, a "how was it?"

02:29.750 --> 02:32.987
afterwards, a short monthly update on their area,

02:32.987 --> 02:35.158
an invitation to a new launch.

02:35.158 --> 02:38.119
Landlords get a nudge before a tenancy ends.

02:38.119 --> 02:40.662
Nothing random, all opted in.

02:41.192 --> 02:42.705
And the negotiators?

02:42.705 --> 02:46.205
Instead of cold lists, they get qualified viewings.

02:46.205 --> 02:49.929
Confirmations and feedback-chasing happen automatically.

02:49.929 --> 02:53.469
The agency sees which questions buyers ask most,

02:53.469 --> 02:54.890
and trains around them.

02:54.890 --> 02:56.284
When negotiators spend their

02:56.284 --> 02:58.574
time closing rather than chasing,

02:58.574 --> 03:00.946
they earn more, and they stay.

03:01.471 --> 03:04.524
Buying a home involves more than the agency.

03:04.524 --> 03:07.537
So the agency builds a trusted partner network:

03:07.537 --> 03:11.721
bankers, lawyers, movers, interior designers.

03:11.721 --> 03:14.366
Clients are introduced only when they ask,

03:14.366 --> 03:15.708
with their consent.

03:15.708 --> 03:19.475
And partners refer clients back, tracked properly.

03:20.025 --> 03:21.670
One team goes first.

03:21.670 --> 03:23.723
Everything is measured and adjusted

03:23.723 --> 03:26.687
before the rest of the agency follows.

03:27.238 --> 03:29.409
So here's the end of the turnaround.

03:29.409 --> 03:32.370
Faster responses, and more viewings booked.

03:32.370 --> 03:33.752
More deals closed.

03:33.752 --> 03:36.159
Buyers who stay warm until they're ready.

03:36.159 --> 03:37.607
Fewer missed viewings.

03:37.607 --> 03:39.988
Listings that serious buyers find.

03:39.988 --> 03:42.321
And negotiators who want to stay.

03:42.858 --> 03:46.069
In property, the first to call back usually wins,

03:46.069 --> 03:48.095
and AI makes sure that's you.

03:48.095 --> 03:50.319
Not by replacing your negotiators,

03:50.319 --> 03:53.806
but by giving them better leads and more time to close.

03:53.806 --> 03:54.779
If you're wondering what this

03:54.779 --> 03:56.450
could look like in your agency,

03:56.450 --> 03:59.415
I'm always happy to talk it through on LinkedIn.
