The problem it solves

Property listings go cold and slip off your radar while you're busy with active deals. Owners who could relist or lower their price never hear from you again, so you lose deals you didn't even know you were missing.

Who it fits

Real estate agents and brokerages managing a pipeline of active and expired listings.

How it works

  1. The system checks your listings sheet on a schedule
  2. It flags any listing with no activity in the last 30 days
  3. AI writes a personalized re-engagement email for each owner
  4. The email is sent from your Gmail account
  5. The listing is marked as followed up so it isn't sent again
What you get

Listings that stay warm without you chasing them

You get a personalized re-engagement email sent automatically to owners of listings that have gone quiet, keeping conversations alive without extra effort.

What you get

A personalized follow-up email sent to each cold listing's owner, plus an updated status in your sheet.

What you need

A Google Sheets account, a Gmail account, and an OpenAI API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
