Some of your callers aren't people anymore.
Google has started phoning local businesses for its users, asking what something costs and when there's an opening. More AI assistants will do the same, and house hunting is an obvious job to hand them. When they call about your listing, someone should pick up with the right answer.
What's happening
Since early 2025, Google has been testing a feature called "Ask for me" in the US. Instead of calling around, a person lets Google do it. Google's AI phones nearby businesses, asks about price and availability, and sends the person a summary by text or email.
So far the test has covered a few kinds of local service businesses, not real estate, and businesses can opt out of these calls. Other companies are building assistants that make calls on people's behalf too. It's easy to picture one asking, "Is 412 Aspen Way still available, and can my client see it Thursday?"
The result is simple. If nobody picks up, or the answer is "I'm not sure, call back later", your listing isn't in the summary. The buyer never hears your name.
How RealInfoBot handles these calls
RealInfoBot answers an AI caller the same way it answers a person.
It gives your real listing facts. If you've written in that the asking price is CA$689,000, condo fees are CA$410 a month and possession is flexible, that's what it says. Nothing more.
It gives real showing times. It checks your Google Calendar and offers times that are actually free. If the sellers approve each visit, it takes a booking request instead.
It doesn't make things up. If you haven't given it a fact, it says so, instead of guessing a number that ends up in someone's comparison. And it gives no opinion on price, offers or the market, to an AI or a person.
You see the call. It lands in your inbox with a transcript, like any other call, so you know what was asked and what was said.
Why this matters more than it sounds
When a buyer calls three agents and only one answers, the other two lose that buyer. When an AI calls about ten listings for someone and writes up the results, the listings with clear answers are the ones on the list. Being easy to reach has always been part of winning buyers and sellers. With AI callers it becomes the whole first round.
What we don't know yet
This is early. We don't know how many AI calls a typical agent gets, how often the assistants book rather than just ask, or how the rules for AI callers will settle. We'll update this page as we learn more.
Get your answers ready
The best thing you can do is the same thing that helps with human callers: write down the facts for each listing, your showing hours and what a showing needs, like the sellers' OK. RealInfoBot will use them on every call, whoever's calling.
