The problem
Every Missed Call is a Missed Commission
In real estate, speed wins. The data is clear — the first agent to respond gets the deal. Can you afford to let calls go to voicemail?

of real estate calls go unanswered — over 170K tracked
Digible, 170K call study
The math is brutal: over 60% of calls to real estate agents go unanswered. Buyers don't wait — 74% hire whoever picks up first. And if you do call back, waiting more than 30 minutes means you're 21x less likely to make contact. Every ring that hits voicemail is a $12,500 commission walking out the door.
The cost of voicemail
Voicemail is a Lead Killer
80% of callers won't leave a voicemail. Every missed call is a conversation that never happened.

The Problem, In Agents' Own Words
These stories show up in every real estate forum. The pattern is always the same.
“I missed a call from a buyer while I was at a closing. By the time I called back two hours later, they'd already signed with another agent. That was a $15K commission gone.”
Solo agent, 8 years experience

“We tracked it for a month — 6 out of 10 calls went to voicemail. Not because we were ignoring them, but because we were literally showing houses. You can't be on the phone and in a showing at the same time.”
Team lead, 12-person brokerage
ActiveRain Forum
“I hired a call answering service. They were polite, but they couldn't tell a motivated buyer from a tire-kicker. I was paying $400/month to have someone take messages I never got to in time anyway.”

How it works
From Ring to Qualified Lead in Under 60 Seconds
No scripts to write, no training required. Set up in minutes, start capturing leads immediately.
Call Comes In
A lead calls your business number. Terminus picks up instantly — no rings, no voicemail, no missed opportunities.
AI Answers in <1 Second
Our voice agent greets the caller naturally, identifies their intent (buyer, seller, investor, showing request), and begins a real conversation.
Qualifies with Smart Questions
Terminus asks the right questions based on intent type — budget, timeline, property type, pre-approval status — building a complete lead profile.
Routes & Follows Up
Qualified leads are transferred to the right agent in real-time. Every call gets a summary, transcript, and optional SMS follow-up — automatically.
Features
Everything You Need to Capture Every Lead
A complete AI-powered phone system built specifically for real estate. Not a generic chatbot — a specialized voice agent that understands your business.
AI Voice Agent
Human-like voice conversations that respond in under a second with natural speech patterns. Callers can't tell the difference.
Intent Detection
Automatically identifies buyer, seller, investor, showing request, vendor, or general inquiry — and adapts the conversation.
Smart Qualification
Asks the right questions per intent type — budget, timeline, pre-approval, property preferences — building complete lead profiles. Replaces a $3-5K/month ISA at a fraction of the cost.
Live Call Transfer
Routes qualified leads to the right agent in real-time. If the transfer fails, the AI resumes the conversation seamlessly.
SMS Follow-up
Sends text summaries, booking links, and follow-ups automatically after each call. Full conversation inbox for ongoing messaging.
24/7 Availability
Never miss a call — even at 2am on a Sunday. 27% of calls come outside business hours. Terminus never sleeps, never goes to a showing, and never takes a day off.

“Terminus picks up every call we miss. Last month it qualified 23 buyer leads while my team was showing properties. That's real money we would have lost.”
Sarah Chen
Broker/Owner, Premier Realty Group
“I was skeptical about AI answering my calls, but the qualification questions are spot-on. Callers don't even realize they're talking to an AI. My transfer rate is through the roof.”
Marcus Johnson
Solo Agent, Keller Williams
“We handle 200+ calls a week across our team. Terminus catches the ones that slip through, and the spam detection alone saves us hours. The ROI is a no-brainer at this price.”
