The problem

Estate and letting agents lose leads to unanswered calls every day. Most of those callers do not ring back -- they call the next agent on the list.

Vendors, landlords and tenants search for agents and ring the first one that answers. If your office is closed, your team is in viewings or a call goes to voicemail, that caller moves on. Property agencies that rely entirely on office hours and in-house capacity leave significant revenue on the table every month -- not because of a lack of demand, but because of a lack of coverage.

"We miss calls during viewings and our team cannot always get back to them."

A missed call at 11am during a viewing block is a missed valuation opportunity. TeamSource handles those calls in real time -- so the vendor who rings while your negotiator is at a viewing gets spoken to immediately rather than reaching voicemail.

"We get web enquiries in the evening that nobody responds to until the next morning."

By the time your team responds to a web enquiry submitted at 8pm, the prospective vendor or landlord has often already spoken to another agent. 24/7 web chat and email handling means your agency responds when the enquiry arrives, not when your office opens.

"We want to grow our managed portfolio but cannot hire another member of staff yet."

Hiring is expensive and slow. A virtual team that handles initial enquiries, follows up on leads and manages routine communication gives your agency the capacity to grow your lettings book without the overhead and management demands of an additional in-house employee.

"Our out-of-hours maintenance calls are going unanswered."

Tenants with urgent maintenance issues who cannot reach anyone lose confidence in their landlord and agent fast. TeamSource's property management coverage means out-of-hours calls are handled professionally -- with the right information taken and the right people notified.

How it works

Six ways TeamSource's virtual team keeps your agency growing when your office is not open.

TeamSource is not a call answering service -- it is a virtual extension of your team. They understand property agencies, how estate agent enquiries work and what callers expect from a professional agency response.

1

24/7 call answering

Every call to your agency number is answered by a TeamSource team member -- day, night, weekend and bank holiday. Callers get a professional, informed response that reflects your agency's brand rather than an automated system or voicemail. No caller reaches a dead end; every enquiry is captured and acted on.

2

Email handling and response

Enquiries submitted through your website, Rightmove, Zoopla or email are read, assessed and responded to in real time by TeamSource. Leads that arrive outside business hours are followed up immediately -- not queued for the next morning. Your agency's response time improves dramatically without any change to your team's working hours.

3

Web chat management

Live web chat converts website visitors into enquiries at a far higher rate than a form or phone number alone -- but only if the chat is staffed. TeamSource manages your web chat around the clock, engaging visitors who would otherwise leave without making contact and converting browser sessions into qualified leads for your team.

4

Sales enquiry management

Vendor and buyer enquiries are handled with the knowledge and professionalism your callers expect from an estate agent -- not a generic call centre operative. TeamSource team members understand the property sales process, can answer common questions about the valuation and sales process, and know when to escalate to your in-house team.

5

Lettings and property management support

Landlord, tenant and maintenance enquiries are all handled within TeamSource's service scope. From initial landlord enquiries about your management fees to out-of-hours tenant maintenance calls, the virtual team provides the coverage your letting agency needs to grow its managed portfolio without proportionally increasing in-house headcount.

6

Customised to your agency

TeamSource's service is configured to your agency's specific requirements -- your scripts, your FAQs, your escalation procedures and your brand voice. The team take your vision as seriously as you do, which means callers cannot tell they are not speaking to a member of your in-house staff.

Getting started

From setup to your first covered call -- how TeamSource integrates with your agency.

TeamSource is designed to work alongside your existing team without disrupting your workflow. Setup is straightforward and the service becomes invisible to callers -- they simply experience a professional agency that is always available.

1

Brief TeamSource on your agency

Share your scripts, FAQ content, escalation procedures and any specific requirements for how different enquiry types should be handled. TeamSource builds the knowledge base their team needs to represent your agency professionally across every type of enquiry.

2

Configure call routing

Your calls are routed to TeamSource based on the criteria you set -- whether that is out-of-hours only, overflow during busy periods or full-time coverage across all channels. The configuration is flexible and can be adjusted as your requirements change.

3

TeamSource handles calls, emails and web chat

From the moment the service is live, TeamSource team members handle your enquiries using the knowledge and scripts you have provided. Every interaction is logged and reported back to your agency so your team has a complete picture of what came in and what was said.

4

Leads and actions are escalated correctly

When an enquiry requires in-house action -- a valuation to be booked, a maintenance issue to be escalated, a viewing to be confirmed -- TeamSource notifies your team immediately through the agreed escalation route. Nothing is missed; nothing is delayed waiting for the office to open.

5

Review and refine

TeamSource provides reporting on call volumes, enquiry types and outcomes. Your team can see what is coming in, identify peak demand periods and refine the service configuration to improve coverage and conversion over time.

Frequently asked questions

What agents ask about TeamSource.

Will callers know they are not speaking to a member of my in-house team?
No -- that is the point. TeamSource team members are briefed on your agency, your scripts and your procedures so that every caller has an experience consistent with speaking to your own staff. The service is designed to be invisible to callers, not to signal that they are being handled by a third party.
What happens when a call needs to be escalated to my team?
Escalation procedures are configured during setup. When a call meets the criteria you have defined for escalation -- a valuation request, an urgent maintenance issue, a specific landlord enquiry -- TeamSource contacts your nominated team member immediately through the agreed route, whether that is a phone call, a text message or a notification in your system.
Can TeamSource handle both sales and lettings enquiries?
Yes. TeamSource's service covers sales, lettings and property management enquiries. They understand the different nature of each enquiry type and handle them with the appropriate knowledge -- vendor calls are handled differently from landlord calls, which are handled differently from tenant maintenance calls.
Is this suitable for a single-branch agency or only larger operations?
TeamSource works with agencies of all sizes. A single-branch independent agent who cannot always answer the phone during viewings gets just as much value from never missing a call as a larger operation with multiple staff. The configuration is flexible enough to work for any agency size.
What are the setup requirements?
Setup involves briefing TeamSource on your agency -- your scripts, your FAQ content, your escalation procedures and how you want different enquiry types handled. This is a collaborative process managed by the TeamSource team. Once the configuration is agreed, the service can go live quickly without any significant technical integration requirement on your side.
How do I discuss TeamSource through Kerfuffle?
Book a discussion through the Calendly link on this page. The Kerfuffle team will connect you with TeamSource. If you are not yet a Kerfuffle member, visit comparetheproptech.com/become-a-partner to find out more.
