Yes, the wording is funny: you are an agent, hiring an agent. Let's settle it up front. You are the agent, the licensed professional whose relationships and negotiation close the deal. What this guide covers is the other kind: AI business agents who do the back-office work your license never required, so more of your week happens with clients instead of a keyboard.
This guide is part of our complete guide to business agents.
What AI agents do for a real estate business
Lead follow-up. The lead that called Saturday gets a response Saturday, and the one from March gets the check-in nobody has time for. Speed-to-lead is the whole game at the top of the funnel, and follow-through is the game after that. The pattern is the same one sales teams use: see AI sales agents.
Listing descriptions and marketing, out the door. Written in your voice from the facts of the property, and your farm emails and social posts go out on the schedule you set. You make it sound like you once; the agent keeps it sounding like you.
Showing coordination. Requests handled, confirmations sent, reschedules absorbed, reminders out on time. Calendar wrangling is a job of its own: AI scheduling agents.
Transaction tracking. Every pending deal in one shared table: inspection dates, contingency deadlines, who owes what document. The agent chases what is missing and flags what is slipping before it costs you a close.
Market reports for your farm. A monthly neighborhood report built from the data sources you already pay for and sent to your list on schedule.
Deals are won in person. They are lost in the follow-up.
What AI agents do not do for realtors
They do not show houses, read a room at a negotiation table, or hold a nervous first-time buyer's trust at 9pm. Nothing here touches the licensed work: representation, advice, and anything your state requires a human for stay with you. The point is not a robot realtor. It is that the realtor stops doing data entry.
How this works in Dock
In Dock you hire named agents with jobs: one on leads and follow-up, one on transactions and paperwork chasing. They keep their own memory of your clients and listings, run on schedules (morning lead sweep, Friday pipeline report), and work in shared workspaces where you and your team see everything they do. You name in the brief what goes out on sight and what waits for you, and the judgment calls, pricing conversations, anything delicate, come to you with the context attached.
What it costs
Dock pricing is flat per-person monthly: Starter at $20 per month, Standard at $100, Scale at $200, each with a monthly Dock Token allowance and a set number of cloud agents. One saved deal pays for years of it.
