Viewing Enquiry AI Assistant for Estate Agents
Start viewing-enquiry replies from a checked draft, without letting AI confirm appointments or contact applicants.
Useful for independent estate agencies in Lisburn, Belfast and across Northern Ireland who handle a steady flow of viewing enquiries through Rightmove, Zoopla, PropertyPal and direct email. The assistant prepares the first draft so your negotiator starts from a clean page rather than a blank one.
The branch job
Viewing enquiries are simple until the branch is busy.
One person asks to view a property. The details may be split across a portal message, email, phone note or staff comment. Someone still has to check the property, ask for missing details, prepare a sensible reply and avoid promising something too early.
The GAIS Viewing Enquiry Assistant is designed around that admin job for Northern Ireland estate agencies.
The old way
A typical enquiry creates small bits of work:
- find the property and current status;
- check whether a viewing might be possible;
- ask for missing applicant details;
- decide who owns the next step;
- write a clear reply;
- avoid overpromising availability.
None of this is glamorous. That is why it is a good first workflow to test.
What the assistant receives
For a first demo, the assistant uses fictional or dummy enquiry examples only.
A later controlled pilot could define approved inputs such as:
- enquiry text (from the portal, email or phone note);
- property reference;
- applicant contact preference;
- staff note on viewing availability;
- approved branch wording and tone;
- missing-detail checklist.
The first demo does not need CRM access, mailbox access or real applicant data.
What the assistant prepares
- a reply draft;
- missing-detail questions;
- a viewing checklist;
- an internal note for the right member of staff;
- a flag when the enquiry needs human attention before any reply.
That gives staff a cleaner starting point. It does not remove the human decision.
What staff still approve
Staff still check:
- property status;
- diary and key arrangements;
- applicant context;
- whether the wording is appropriate;
- whether anything should be sent at all.
The assistant does not press send.
Does not do
Confirm a viewing; send replies; access a live diary by default; qualify a buyer finally; promise availability; update records without approval; replace staff judgement.
Why this is a strong first example
Viewing enquiries are easy to recognise and frequent enough to judge quickly. The output is also easy for staff to review: is the reply useful, accurate and safe, or is it more work than it saves?
