- which benefits it offers your company,
- and how the use of the solution could look like in practice.
Let’s dive in!
Challenges: Pitfalls for Customer Communication in Real Estate
Buying a property is never a spontaneous decision: Before a purchase is made, customers expect clear and detailed information, and failing to provide these can lead to an overwhelming list of questions and requirements. Additionally, competition in the real estate development market is fierce, and sellers in this industry face many challenges:
- Slow Response Time: A customer asking a question in a chat room expects an immediate answer. Handling multiple tasks at once, sellers sometimes fail to do meet this expectation.
- Unnatural Communication: Traditional chatbots often struggle to engage in natural conversation and lack information to give a detailed response.
- Inefficient Search: Customers find it time-consuming and frustrating to repeatedly filter and narrow down property criteria. Moreover, sometimes relevant filters (e. g. for a balcony, terrace or garden) are missing which makes it difficult to find exactly what you are looking for.
Traditional chat rooms and search engines on developer portals often fail to address customer needs, leading to dissatisfaction. This is where AI can make a significant difference.
Benefits: AI Assistants for a Precise and Timely Communication
From general inquiries to specific property details, an AI assistant can handle all customer questions. Using Natural Language Processing, this modern solution enables seamless communication without time constraints. Your company provides all necessary information and data and the AI uses them to respond to customer inquiries efficiently.
An AI Assistant offers benefits such as
- Customer Understanding: AI assistants grasp customer expectations and needs, understanding even complex questions.
- Tailored Property Searches: They help you to find exactly the property you are looking for.
- Speed and Accuracy: AI assistants provide quick, precise responses and contextual suggestions.
Example Scenario:
Imagine a customer browsing property listings on your website. They have specific requirements and are in need of detailed information. Instead of manually clicking through your website, they can just ask the AI-based chatbot and instantly get the answer they are looking for. This saves time and enhances the search experience.
AI Assistant in Practice: Streamlined Property Searches
When you just started the search for a potential property, the huge number of listings can be overwhelming. To simplify this process, the potential customer can simply describe relevant criteria to the AI-based chatbot. The solution will search its data base for offers that match the expectations and present them in an understandable manner. This feature is invaluable for a smooth search process.
For example, AI could provide details such as room layouts and information about terraces or balconies. It is also able to suggest properties with the best access to public transportation or infrastructure like schools and kindergartens, saving customers from analyzing maps or additional documents.
Example Scenario:
A user might be looking for a bright apartment in Gdansk, close to the beach, with good connection to public transport. The AI assistant will promptly suggest offers that match the respective criteria.
Also, customers can save their search criteria to receive notifications about new listings in line with their requirements.
