You are mid inspection. The phone rings from your pocket.

Caller
Hi, I just walked past the open home on Ramsay Street and I could not get inside in time. I am really interested. My name is James Chen, I am in Randwick. Is it possible to arrange a private inspection this week?
Mia
Absolutely James, I can get that moving. So that is the Ramsay Street property, and you would like a private inspection this week. What is the best number for you, and which days suit? Are you pre-approved, or still looking into finance?
Caller
Pre-approved and ready to move quickly.
Mia
Great position to be in. I will send the agent your details now so they can call you straight after the open home.

Real challenges

Why calls get missed.

Buyers call the next agent on the list when they hit voicemail
An estimated 78% of buyers end up working with the first agent who responds to their enquiry. During open homes, inspections, and settlement meetings, real estate agents are precisely unavailable when buyer interest is at its highest. Research into agency response times found that 48% of sales enquiries went unanswered entirely, and the average response time across agencies was nearly four business hours. In a market where a buyer may shortlist three agents on a Saturday morning, the agent who calls back last is the agent who loses the listing.

67% of property enquiries arrive outside business hours
Buyers and prospective landlords search for properties in the evenings and on weekends, after they have finished their own working day. Research into Australian real estate call volumes found that an estimated 67% of property enquiries occur outside traditional business hours. An agent who switches off at 5pm is invisible to more than half their potential enquiries. Extending personal hours is not sustainable, and a single front desk can only cover one shift.

High call volume spikes during spring selling season
Australian real estate agents receive an estimated 30 to 50 calls per day during normal periods, with spikes reaching 70 or more during the spring selling season. Property managers handling rental applications, maintenance requests, and leasing enquiries simultaneously face the same surge. A single agent or a small agency without reception support cannot answer every call, and every missed call during peak season is a warm lead that moves on within minutes.

How Mia handles it

Real calls. Real outcomes.

Saturday 10:20am
CALLER
"Hi, I just walked past the open home on Ramsay Street and I could not get inside in time. I am really interested. My name is James Chen, I am in Randwick. Is it possible to arrange a private inspection this week?"
MIA
Mia answers while the agent is mid-inspection. She captures James's full name, contact number, the property address, his preferred inspection days and times, and whether he is pre-approved or still looking. She sends the agent a notification with the full lead summary so the callback after the open home is warm and ready to book.
✓ The agent calls James back at 11:45am. Private inspection booked for Tuesday. James submits an offer by the end of the week.
Wednesday 7:15pm
CALLER
"Hi, I am looking at getting an appraisal on my house in Newtown. We are thinking of selling probably in the next three to six months. Just wanted to see what you thought the place might be worth. Name is Angela, happy to be called back tomorrow morning."
MIA
Mia introduces herself as the agency's receptionist, confirms this is an appraisal enquiry, captures Angela's full name, contact number, suburb, rough timeline to market, and whether she wants a formal appraisal or just a general guide first. The agent has a qualified listing lead with all context ready for the morning.
✓ The agent calls Angela first thing on Thursday with comparables for Newtown already pulled. Appraisal booked for that Friday afternoon.
Monday 8:50am
CALLER
"Yeah hi, this is Mark Tanaka. I manage three investment properties and my current agency is not performing. I am looking to switch management. Can someone senior call me back to talk through what you offer?"
MIA
Mia captures Mark's name, contact number, number of properties, current suburb, and the nature of his dissatisfaction with the existing management arrangement. She notes his preference for a senior callback and sends the property management lead to the principal agent immediately with full context.
✓ The principal calls Mark within the hour. Three management agreements transferred within two weeks.
Real estate agencies use RipperReceptionist to capture buyer enquiries and appraisal requests during open homes, inspections, and after hours, so every warm lead is logged and ready for a same-day callback.
An estimated 78% of buyers work with the first agent to respond. Every call that hits voicemail during a Saturday open home is a lead already moving to a competitor.

Frequently asked questions

Will Mia understand property-specific terminology like open homes, appraisals, and settlement?
Mia is configured with your agency's context before going live, including the suburbs you cover, whether you specialise in residential sales, property management, or both, and the language your clients use. She captures the right intake details so your callbacks are informed from the first word.
What happens when multiple buyers call during the same open home?
Mia handles every call simultaneously. There is no engaged tone and no voicemail. Each caller gets a professional answer, their details are captured, and you receive a notification for each one. You return from the open home with a ranked list of interested buyers rather than a phone full of missed calls.
Can Mia handle property management enquiries like maintenance requests or rental applications?
Yes. Mia captures the nature of the enquiry, whether it is a maintenance report, a rental application follow-up, or a leasing question, along with the tenant's name, property address, and urgency level. For genuine emergencies you can configure a forwarding rule. All other enquiries are logged and notified so nothing falls through the cracks.
We already have a receptionist. Why would we need Mia?
Mia handles overflow and after-hours coverage, the calls that come in during open homes, after 5pm, on weekends, and when your receptionist is already on another line. Research suggests an estimated 67% of property enquiries arrive outside standard hours. Your receptionist handles the desk; Mia handles everything that would otherwise ring out.
How does Mia learn my business?
Paste your website URL during setup. Mia crawls your site for services, hours, pricing, and policies. You review and refine. Setup typically takes under 5 minutes.
Can I review what Mia says before it goes to a customer?
Yes. You can enable owner approval mode where Mia drafts the response and you approve via SMS before it sends. Or run Mia fully automated for trusted topics.
What if Mia gets something wrong?
Every call has a transcript and summary sent to your phone. You can correct any answer and Mia learns from the correction for future calls.
