Real estate guide
What to put in your knowledge, what the agent will and won't say to a homebuyer, and how to write a good opener.
What the agent does for you
- Answers buyers' questions about your projects: configurations, sizes, pricing, amenities, location, nearby places, legal and RERA status, possession, parking and more.
- Helps a buyer who has not picked a project find the ones that fit their budget, area and configuration.
- Shares floor plans, brochures and walkthrough videos on WhatsApp when they help, if you have switched sharing on for them.
- Takes site-visit requests within your visit window and passes them to your team.
- Hands the buyer to your sales team when they ask for a person, want to negotiate, or need something it cannot answer.
What knowledge to provide
For each project, the more of these you upload, the more the agent can answer:
- Brochure: overview, towers, amenities, specifications.
- Price list or cost sheet: per configuration, with sizes and every charge (base price, floor rise, parking, club, deposits, taxes). This is what the agent quotes, so it matters most.
- Floor plans: per configuration. Upload them as media and switch sharing on so the agent can send them.
- RERA registration and legal details: approvals, title, land.
- Possession and construction: target dates and current status.
- Location: address, micro-market, and distances to schools, hospitals, offices, transit and shopping.
- Payment plans and bank tie-ups.
- Your website and walkthrough videos.
- Research notes for anything that is not written down anywhere else.
Then check the facts on the project's Answers tab, correct anything wrong, and switch them to Checked. Pricing deserves a careful check, because the agent quotes it word for word. If a cost sheet lists charges but no total, the reading adds them up, and the agent quotes that total, so check it too.
What the agent will say
- Facts as they appear in your knowledge, with nothing added. On a call it may round a figure the way a person would ("just over eight thousand a square foot"), and says it is rounding.
- Prices for a specific configuration, labelled as such. A "starting from" price is said as "starting from".
- "I don't have that on record, a colleague will confirm" when a fact is missing. A missing fact is never turned into a "no".
- The micro-market and a nearby landmark when someone asks where a project is, rather than reading out a legal address.
- "I've sent your visit request for Saturday, 7 November 2026 at 11:00 am to the team — they'll confirm shortly" when a buyer picks a visit time. It never says a visit is booked.
What the agent won't do
- Negotiate or discount. Any "best price" or "discount if I book today" goes to your sales team.
- Estimate or calculate a price. It never adds up or adjusts a price, and never uses one configuration's price to answer for another.
- Promise live availability. It can say which configurations a project offers, but not whether a particular unit is still available. That is for your sales team.
- Advise on home loans, legal or tax matters. It can state a bank tie-up or a RERA number that is on record, but will not assess eligibility, interpret a title, or reassure a buyer that something is safe.
- Help with reselling, renting out or selling a home the buyer already owns, or talk about another developer's projects.
- Pressure the buyer. No false urgency, no repeated pushing.
What a good opener looks like
Opening WhatsApp message:
Hi {{1}}, Acme Skyline in Whitefield has 2 and 3 BHK homes from ₹85 L, possession Dec 2027. Would you like the floor plans, or to visit this weekend?
What the agent says first, on a call:
Hi {{first_name}}, I'm calling from Acme Developers about Acme Skyline in Whitefield. Do you have a couple of minutes?
Tips:
- Name the project and the area. Buyers get many calls; the project name is what they recognise.
- Ask one easy question at the end.
- Keep the call opener to one or two sentences. Do not read out prices in the opener.
- Only put prices in a template that you are sure are current, because a template is approved once and sent many times.
- If you want buyers told they are speaking to an AI assistant, say so in the opener; nothing about AI is added for you. If you record calls, a one-line recording notice is added after the opener's first sentence.
