Property Lead Qualification

Case Study: Automated Property Lead Qualification & Matching

Industry: Real estate & property rentals

Challenge: Manually screening every inquiry and matching it to available listings

The Problem

Real estate agents receive a steady stream of inquiries, and each one has to be read, checked for missing details, compared against the property list, and answered. Done by hand, good leads wait too long for a reply, incomplete ones waste an agent’s time, and matches get missed.

What We Built

An automated workflow that receives every inquiry, qualifies it, matches it to available properties, logs the result, and responds, with no agent involvement until a lead is worth their time.

• Inquiry intake — Customer inquiries arrive through a webhook and are normalized into a consistent structure.

• Property matching — Each inquiry is compared against the property list in Google Sheets on preferred area, number of bedrooms, budget, move-in date, and smoking preference.

• Automatic qualification — Every inquiry is sorted into one of three statuses: Qualified (a property fits), Not matched (complete inquiry, but nothing suitable is available), or Disqualified (required information such as budget is missing).

• CRM logging — Every inquiry and its status is written to a CRM table, so the agent has a complete record.

• Status-based actions — Qualified customers get an email with the matching property, not-matched customers get an email saying nothing suitable is available right now, and disqualified inquiries receive no automatic reply.

Results

• Every inquiry is screened and answered automatically, the moment it arrives.

• Agents spend time only on qualified leads with a matching property.

• Incomplete inquiries are filtered out before they reach anyone’s inbox.

• Every inquiry and outcome is recorded in the CRM.

In the live demo, three test inquiries were processed: one was qualified and emailed its matching property, one was marked not matched and received a no-current-offers email, and one with a missing budget was disqualified with no email sent.
