How a Real Estate Lead Answering Service Works

Realty Offices can use a Lead capture answering service in several different ways. Mechanically the key to using an answering service is call forwarding. The call center will provide a unique telephone number to the Realty Office. The Realty office can transfer their lines by call forwarding their phone to the number. From that point on, all of the calls will ring into the answering service. The calls will ring to the service until someone in the realty office disengages the call forwarding. After the forwarding is disengaged all calls will ring at the realty office.

Other offices are permanently forwarded to the answering service. These offices point their phone number directly to the answering service. Each and every call will ring to the answering service, who acts as the real estate receptionist. This method is often used in startup real estate offices. These startup offices use a call center until they reach the point of sustaining staff. Virtual Realty offices use permanent answering service because the usually do not have a brick and mortar business.

Many offices use the service to handle overflow calls. These calls come to the answering service via No Answer call forwarding. This occurs when the phones are not answered by a set number of rings. This method helps services who need to cut back slightly on staff. Having a live real estate lead capture answering service is a way to control cost and maximize the opportunity of every call
