Overview
A realtor runs an AI agent text bot on their IDX site that follows up with leads and has brought in a couple of deals.
Workflow
Suggested implementation: A realtor uses an AI text bot integrated into a Lofty IDX website to handle repetitive lead follow-ups. The agent remains hands-on for other tasks and maintains strict control over listing copy. Human role involves overseeing the bot's interactions and managing complex inquiries.
Reported result
The source claims the bot brought in a couple of deals, but provides no data on deal value, conversion rates, or setup details. It is unclear where the handoff from bot to human occurs. A measurable acceptance check would be tracking the number of leads converted to appointments.
Human role
The original post does not say how a person stayed involved.
Limitations
Source reliability is low as the original Reddit thread is inaccessible (HTTP 403) and evidence is secondary. Prerequisites include a Lofty IDX site and configured follow-up scripts. Integration uncertainty exists regarding specific handoff points and bot customization limits.
Try it
I want to pilot an AI text bot for lead follow-up on my real estate IDX site. My business context is [replaceable: e.g., residential sales in Austin]. I use [replaceable: e.g., Lofty IDX] as my platform. Please configure the bot to handle repetitive follow-ups for leads coming through the site, using standard scripts for [replaceable: e.g., initial contact, appointment setting]. I will remain hands-on for listing copy and complex inquiries. First, run a small sample dry run with [replaceable: 5 test leads] to verify tone and accuracy. Do not send real messages or spend money until I confirm the dry run results. Measure success by the number of leads converted to appointments. If inputs are missing, ask me for the specific lead data format and script preferences.
