AI recruiting for real estate agents.
Built for the real estate agency who's already tried the off-the-shelf option and bounced off it.
How much is the admin really costing you?
Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. That could drop to about 52.*
*Illustrative, based on 9 hours a week of admin at a typical 80% automation rate. The calculator uses your own numbers.
Listing copy, buyer follow-ups and appraisal requests drafted fast, with personal information handled under the Privacy Act 2020.
Built around how New Zealand works.
Screens applicants and sorts the new-starter paperwork, from payday filing to KiwiSaver at the new 3.5 per cent minimum.
- KiwiSaver now 3.5 per cent
- Payday filing, every payday
- Serious breaches get reported
The friction real estate agencies hit that other industries don't.
Agents live on their phones between open homes, listing enquiries, and vendor updates that can't wait until Monday.
Lead response speed decides who gets the listing, and most agencies lose leads simply because nobody replied fast enough.
On the tools or running at scale, the admin still eats the week :)
The questions a public sector buyer asks, answered up front: privacy impact, the NZISM, where the data lives and how an algorithm is held to account.

Small team.
Real systems.
Zero fluff.

Questions real estate agencies ask
How fast could we have AI recruiting in production?
Eight to ten weeks for most real estate agencies. Faster if your data is in good shape and slower if we're untangling a legacy integration first. We'll give you a realistic number on the scoping call rather than the optimistic one.
What if our real estate agency doesn't have any data ready?
Most don't. Getting the data into shape - ingestion, cleaning, the lightweight contracts you need before any model is useful - is part of the engagement. For AI recruiting specifically, we typically run that work on Claude, Vapi, Workable, SEEK API, Vercel and assume messy starting conditions from day one.
What's the realistic outcome for real estate agencies?
Time-to-shortlist drops from 3 weeks to 4 days. We don't promise tenfold lifts because we don't see them outside of marketing decks.
Can AI help with payday filing?
It can prepare it. Employers file employment information every payday, within 2 working days when filing electronically, and automation can have it ready for a person to check.
Does scheduling handle public holidays?
It should. New Zealand has 11 national public holidays, including Matariki, plus a regional anniversary day that depends on where your business is.
