How much does Upfirst's real estate answering service cost?
Pricing is based on your monthly call volume. Most real estate teams choose a plan that matches their typical activity: 30 calls for $24.95/month, 90 calls for $59.95/month, 300 calls for $159.95/month, or 600 calls for $299/month. If you go over your plan, we simply charge per call. Spam and sales calls never count toward your total, and your dashboard shows exactly which calls were filtered out. If you need a larger plan, we can create a custom option. Every account comes with a risk-free 14-day trial so you can test everything first.
How long does it take to set up Upfirst?
Most agents are up and running in under 30 minutes. Add your instructions, tell your AI what information to collect from callers, forward your calls, and you’re ready. If you need help, we offer complimentary onboarding with one of our AI specialists.
What if I have a team with multiple agents?
Your AI receptionist can take messages for each person on your team and send call summaries by email or text to the right agent. It can also transfer calls based on rules you define — for example, routing buyers to one agent and renters to another.
What about spam or sales calls?
Upfirst automatically detects spam and sales calls. You’re never billed for them, and you can turn off notifications so they don’t interrupt your day.
Can I teach it information about my properties?
Yes. You can add details about your listings to your knowledge base so the AI can answer questions about pricing, availability, showings, pet policies, and more.
What do real estate professionals use Upfirst for?
Solo agents use Upfirst to make sure every lead is answered and no one ever hits voicemail. Larger teams use it as a virtual front desk that can transfer calls, qualify buyers or renters, and take clear messages. Wholesalers use it to handle replies from outbound campaigns, and property managers use it to pre-screen renters or gather maintenance requests.
Can I use it with my Zillow.com or Apartments.com ads?
Yes. Many customers use their Upfirst number in their online listings so inbound inquiries are answered instantly and key details are captured automatically.
Does Upfirst support multiple languages?
Yes. Upfirst can speak over 30 languages and switch automatically based on the caller’s language.
Can Upfirst integrate with Go High Level or Follow Up Boss?
Yes. Upfirst integrates with most real estate CRMs through Zapier. When a call comes in, the AI receptionist captures the caller’s information and can pass it directly into the CRM you use.
How will I be notified of calls?
After every call, you’ll get an email and a text with a summary, a link to the recording, and a full transcript.
What kind of call volume can you handle?
Upfirst can handle any call volume. Some agents forward only after-hours calls; others send all their calls. Whether you’re a solo agent who gets a few dozen calls a month or a brokerage with thousands, we can handle it.
