# WhatsApp lead management for real estate: from enquiry to a visit request

Property buyers often want project details they can read later or share with family. WhatsApp can be useful for that exchange, but messages alone do not make a managed sales process.

A useful system keeps the buyer's question, project interest and next step together, even if a different executive handles the follow-up.

## Avoid the brochure-and-silence pattern

Sending a large brochure may not answer the buyer's actual question. Start with the configuration or project they asked about, then point them to the relevant information.

Before offering a price, confirm which project and unit type it refers to. Before discussing possession, use the approved project-specific source. Do not infer current availability from an old marketing page.

## Distinguish the routes into WhatsApp

A click-to-WhatsApp ad opens a WhatsApp chat with your business. A tracked Serviti link opens Serviti's hosted AI conversation. A WhatsApp handoff from the widget opens a human conversation.

Plan your campaign around the route you actually use. A QR code can link to your agent, but scanning it alone does not capture the person's contact details or book a visit.

## Build a useful buyer handover

Capture preferences that help the team respond:

- Project and configuration.
- Budget range, if the buyer wants to share it.
- Buying timeline and purpose.
- Preferred visit time or callback request.
- Contact details and the original question.

Keep uncertainty visible. “Interested in Sunday” is different from “Sunday confirmed.”

## What Serviti can do

Serviti answers from the project content you supply and can capture a buyer's enquiry in the lead CRM. Campaign links help retain source context.

On Growth, the agent can offer human WhatsApp handoff and the team can receive real-time lead alerts. Scale includes Lead Intelligence and supported BSP integration. A BSP connection does not by itself turn every WhatsApp conversation into a native AI conversation.

**Serviti can collect a site-visit request; it does not automatically reserve a live calendar slot.** Staff must check availability and confirm the visit. Follow-up reminders for your team are not an automatic customer messaging sequence.

## Keep the company record up to date

Assign the lead, record whether the buyer was reached, and update the outcome after a visit. That makes the next interaction useful and reduces dependence on one executive's memory.

For post-sale support, the AI HelpDesk add-on can capture issues and answer approved FAQs. It should not claim to have checked a buyer's payment or title records without an actual supported connection.
