Not a message-taking service. An agent that knows your listings.
A call centre answers the phone, then usually says "someone from the office will call you back". Squaremeters AI knows your stock, describes the right property, sends the link on WhatsApp and books the viewing straight into your diary.

Property calls don't fit a generic script
Call centres are good at volume. In property, the gap is knowledge and ownership.
No listing knowledge
When a buyer asks about service charge, floor level or parking on a specific flat, the operator has nothing to go on and the call becomes a message.
Shared operators, shared scripts
The same operator takes calls for many businesses in a day. Leasehold, planning or chain questions aren't in the script.
Outcomes stuck in email
The call summary arrives hours later by email. By the time a negotiator rings back, the applicant may be viewing with another agent.

When callers ask about a property, the answer is ready
Your listings are loaded into the agent during setup. It searches by area, type, budget and bedrooms, then describes the best matches briefly, without reading out every detail unprompted.
- Reads service charge, floor and parking details from your stock
- Sends the listing link on WhatsApp mid-call
- On price questions, steers to a valuation or a chat with the negotiator rather than quoting figures
Any three-beds on a gated site near the coast? What's the service charge?
There's a three-bed in Konyaaltı: 145 m², 4th floor, gated with parking. The service charge is on the listing. Shall I send you the link on WhatsApp?

Hot applicants reach your negotiator, not a ticket queue
The agent works only for your agency. When a caller is ready to move, it rings your negotiator first, reads a short summary, then joins the calls.
- A summary is read to the negotiator before the warm transfer
- Call notes and tags written to the CRM straight away
- If nobody picks up, a task is created for the negotiator
Where a call centre is strong
For some needs, a call centre may be the better fit.
Serious volume experience
Staffing thousands of calls during a campaign, with shift planning and QA, is exactly what call centres do well.
Many languages
Our agent speaks English and Turkish. If you need human operators in Russian, Arabic or German, a call centre may suit you better.
Human flexibility
For long, emotional or completely off-script conversations, an experienced human operator has more room to manoeuvre.
Where to start
If you already use a call centre, you can move over in stages. Start by routing listing and viewing enquiries to the agent, since those are the calls that need property knowledge most. Other languages or non-property lines can stay where they are. During setup we load your listings, scenarios, diary and transfer numbers, then test everything with you before go-live.
Frequently asked questions
Can it run the FSBO calling a call centre would do?
Yes. An outbound campaign rings the owners on your for-sale-by-owner list, offers a free valuation and books the interested ones into your calendar. The difference: instead of reading a script it knows your listings and area, logs every outcome in the CRM and removes anyone who opts out. You provide the list and remain responsible for calling-rule compliance.
What does the agent do that a call-centre operator doesn't?
It searches and describes your listings, sends links on WhatsApp, checks your diary to book viewings or valuations and logs the call in your CRM. It finishes the job instead of passing on a message.
Which languages does it speak?
English and Turkish. If you need other languages handled by a person, your call centre or team can stay in place for those calls.
What if lots of calls come in at once?
There's no queue. Simultaneous calls are answered separately and each one lands in the CRM as its own record.
What about contracts and cost?
We work month to month with no long-term commitment: a monthly flat fee for inbound calls plus contact volume. Details are on the pricing page.
