Where property deals slip

Site visits that don't happenA lead books a Sunday visit through a portal, gets no confirmation or directions, and ends up at a competitor's sample flat nearby.

Launch SMS blocked or ignoredBought databases full of DND numbers mean most launch messages are scrubbed, and those that land look like spam.

Buyers left guessing after bookingOnce the token is paid, buyers hear nothing until a demand letter arrives, and every delay in construction becomes an angry call.

Questions about bulk SMS for real estate agents and brokers

Can builders send project launch SMS to DND numbers?

No. Launch and offer messages are promotional and are blocked for numbers on the DND list. To reach people who enquired and are on DND, collect their explicit consent through the DLT consent process and send as service explicit SMS.

Should real estate SMS include the RERA number?

Yes, for any advertisement of a registered project. State RERA rules generally require the registration number on promotions, and including it in the template also reassures buyers the project is genuine. Site-visit confirmations do not need it.

Is it legal to buy a database and send property SMS?

It is risky. Bought lists are mostly DND numbers that get scrubbed, and messaging people who never shared their number with you can breach the DPDP Act 2023 and draw complaints against your header. Build your own list from portal leads, ads and site visitors.

Can I send brochures and floor plans by SMS?

You can send a link to them, using a whitelisted domain. For buyers who opted in on WhatsApp, sending the brochure PDF, walkthrough video and location pin directly in the chat is a better experience than a link in an SMS.

What SMS should a builder send after booking?

Send a booking confirmation, then a service SMS at each construction milestone with the instalment due, followed by possession, snag-inspection and registration appointments. Regular, factual updates reduce anxious calls and late payments far more than occasional emails.

Can SMS track whether a lead opened the location link?

Yes. With MsgClub short links, you see who opened the map or brochure link and when. Sales teams use this to call leads who clicked before the weekend, since they are the most likely to visit.
