Why property leads go cold

Slow first replyA buyer enquires on three portals at once. The broker who sends the brochure first usually gets the site visit, and the rest get ignored.

Leads stuck in agents' phonesEach agent chats from a personal number. When an agent leaves, the buyer list, conversations and site visit history leave too.

Site visits with no-showsBuyers agree to a Sunday visit, then do not turn up, and the agent has driven 40 minutes to the project.

Questions about WhatsApp Business API for real estate agents and brokers

Can I message buyers who enquired on a property portal?

Only if they agreed to be contacted on WhatsApp. Many portals capture this consent on the enquiry form. Your first message must be an approved template; a short reply referring to their enquiry and offering the brochure works best. If they reply, you can then chat freely for 24 hours.

Do Click-to-WhatsApp ads work for real estate in India?

They suit projects with clear location and price ranges. The buyer taps the ad and lands in your chat, the bot asks qualifying questions, and if you reply within 24 hours, Meta does not charge for messages in the free entry point window, currently up to 7 days for ad leads. Lead quality depends on your targeting and ad copy.

Can I send property brochures and videos on WhatsApp?

Yes. PDFs, floor plans, images and walkthrough videos can be sent in an open chat, and a marketing template can carry an image or video header. Keep large videos short or link to YouTube so they load on mobile data.

How do I stop agents taking leads when they leave?

Use one agency number on a team inbox instead of personal phones. Agents log in with their own accounts, chats are assigned to them, and when they leave the admin removes their access while every conversation and lead stays with the agency.

Can I send new listings to my whole buyer database?

Only to buyers who opted in to receive listings on WhatsApp, and using approved marketing templates. Segment by budget and area so each buyer sees relevant properties; mass sending to everyone leads to blocks, which lowers your quality rating and messaging limit.

Is the site visit reminder a marketing or utility message?

A confirmation or reminder of a visit the buyer booked is a utility template as long as it contains no offers. Adding a discount or a new project in the same message makes it marketing, which is charged at the higher rate.
