Bobby for Real Estate Agents in Ottawa: Voice-First Growth

If you're selling homes in Ottawa, you already know the math doesn't add up. The average real estate agent spends 12–15 hours per week on administrative work: following up with leads, requesting Google reviews after a closing, updating CRM records, scheduling property showings. That's 30–40% of your work week not selling houses. In a market where the average Ottawa listing receives 8–12 inquiries in the first 48 hours, every missed follow-up is lost commission.

Most real estate professionals in Ottawa handle 15–25 active clients simultaneously during spring and fall peaks. Without automation, response time stretches to 4–6 hours. By then, serious buyers have already booked three other viewings.

What Bobby does concretely for Ottawa real estate agents

Bobby is a voice-first operating system that handles the repetitive work while you focus on showings and closings. Here's what that looks like in practice:

• Lead follow-up: A potential buyer fills out a contact form on your website at 11 PM. Bobby sends a personalized text within 60 seconds, books a qualification call, and logs everything in your CRM before you wake up.
• Review generation: You close on a Westboro condo. Bobby automatically requests a Google review 48 hours later via SMS, then follows up once if needed. Agents using this module see 60–70% review completion rates versus the industry standard of 15–20%.
• Appointment scheduling: Buyers and sellers can ask Bobby (via text or voice) to book showing times. It checks your calendar, confirms slots, sends reminders. No back-and-forth emails for a simple 30-minute walk-through.
• Pipeline management: Bobby tracks where each lead stands—first contact, viewing completed, offer pending—and prompts you when action is required. It doesn't replace your MLS system; it makes sure nothing falls through the cracks.
• Open house follow-up: After a Sunday open house in Kanata, Bobby texts every attendee Monday morning with listing details and availability for private showings.

Radical honesty: what Bobby does NOT do

Bobby doesn't negotiate offers. It doesn't write property descriptions or create virtual tours. It won't replace your broker relationships or handle legal paperwork. Bobby is not a CRM replacement—it connects to your existing tools (most Ottawa agents use IXACT or Follow Up Boss). It automates follow-up and communication workflows. If you need a full transaction management platform, you still need that. Bobby handles the repetitive tasks that consume your evenings and weekends.

How much does it cost?

You start with a free working demo—real integration with your phone number, your calendar, your actual client pipeline. You test lead follow-up, review requests, appointment scheduling with real prospects. You pay only when you activate three or more modules and see measurable time savings. No upfront software fee. No annual contract locking you in during a slow Q1. Pricing scales with the number of active workflows you want running.

For Ottawa real estate agents managing 20+ clients and losing 12 hours weekly to admin work, Bobby typically saves 8–10 of those hours within the first month. That's two extra showings per week. In Ottawa's current market, that's $8,000–$15,000 in additional annual commission, conservatively.
