AI agents for real estate.

Solo agents and small teams have the same headaches. Local SEO drifts when the listings get hot. Past clients drop off the radar. The books live in three places. We build agents that keep all of it warm without you hiring.

Cronk Ai Agents for real estate: local SEO, lead nurture, and commission books agents in one fleet.

// the pain

The same four leaks at every real estate practice.

Solo or small team, the list is the same. Below is what we hear on every intake call.

MARKETING · LOCAL SEO

Your neighborhood pages drift down the rankings when listings get busy. National portals take the page-one spot you used to own.

LEAD · FOLLOW-UP

Past clients drop off the radar within a month. Buyer leads cool because nobody followed up by Tuesday. The CRM has every contact but no rhythm.

OPS · LISTING WORKFLOW

Each new listing eats 4 hours of admin: photos, descriptions, MLS entry, social posts. The agent should be showing, not typing.

FINANCE · COMMISSION BOOKS

Commission accounting lives in brokerage statements, a spreadsheet, and your head. Tax season is a yearly fire drill.

// sample playbook

What a 3-agent real estate fleet typically looks like.

A walkthrough of the build we would scope for a typical solo or small-team practice. Real client work is further down the page.

Sample playbook -- not a past client. See real case below.

The profile

A solo or 3-person real estate team. 20 to 60 listings per year. Stack: MLS, WordPress site, Google Business Profile, email + SMS CRM. Agent is selling, not at a desk.

The bottleneck

Marketing happens when there's time, which is never. Past clients stop hearing from the agent after the deal closes. Books live in three places. Tax season costs a week.

The 3-agent fleet

  • Agent 1 Sales Outreach (lead nurture). Drafts personalized post-showing emails, monthly check-ins for past clients, and life-event nudges that don't sound automated. Agent reviews before send. Will not send a mass blast without sign-off.
  • Agent 2 SEO Content (local + listing pages). Writes neighborhood guides, market-update posts, and buyer or seller checklists tuned for the specific region. Publishes weekly. Designed to win local intent search, not generic real-estate-blog filler.
  • Agent 3 Chief of Staff (ops + books). Aggregates commissions, refunds, ad spend, and brokerage fees. Calculates HST or sales tax owed monthly. Builds a year-end summary your accountant can use directly.

What 90 days in typically looks like

  • Local SEO content publishing weekly, page-one positions returning
  • Every past client gets a touch every month (in your voice)
  • Books reconciled monthly, no end-of-year scramble

// the stack

Three agents from the catalog, rewritten for real estate.

Each one ships with the tools you already run. Pick all three, or start with one and grow the fleet from there.

A.09 · Sales Outreach Agent

Lead nurture in your voice.

Lead nurture in your voice. Drafts every email, schedules every touch, flags warm leads. Won't send without your approval on the first 100. After that, you set the autonomy band.

A.02 · SEO Content Engine

Local intent content, weekly.

Local + listing + neighborhood content. Publishes weekly. Won the page-one spots on 14 local keywords for our real RE client in 6 months (see real case below).

A.10 · Chief of Staff Agent

Books, commissions, taxes, monthly.

Books, commissions, taxes, monthly reports. Calculates what you owe and sets it aside. Year-end becomes one meeting with your accountant.

// real client work

An Atlantic Canada realtor: page-one local in 9 months.

The proof case. Solo agent, top brokerage, getting outranked by national portals in her own market. Then she wasn't.

SERVICES · REAL ESTATE Solo agent Atlantic Canada LIVE · 9 MONTHS

From buried by Google to page-one local results, with a CFO watching the books between showings.

An independent realtor at a top brokerage in Atlantic Canada was getting outranked by national portals for her own market. Marketing happened when there was time, which was never. Commission accounting lived in three places: brokerage statements, a spreadsheet, and her head. Tax season was a yearly fire drill.

  • A.01 Local-SEO content agent. Writes neighborhood guides, market-update posts, and buyer or seller checklists tuned for the specific region. Publishes weekly. Within six months, page-one rankings on 14 of her target local keywords.
  • A.02 Solo CFO. Tracks every commission, refund, ad spend, and brokerage fee. Calculates HST owed each month and sets aside the right amount automatically. Year-end taxes go from week-long scramble to one accountant meeting.
  • A.03 Listing follow-up. Drafts personalized post-showing emails, monthly check-ins for past clients, and birthday or anniversary nudges that do not sound automated. Agent reviews and sends.

// FAQ

Real estate questions, answered.

The four we get most often on the discovery call. If yours isn't here, ask it on the intake.

Does this work for solo agents or only teams?

Both. The smallest real RE build we run is a solo agent. Essentials retainer ($750/mo) typically covers it. Teams scale into Operator ($1,750/mo).

What about MLS compliance and broker oversight?

Agents never publish or send anything without human approval by default. Your broker's compliance review fits naturally into the approval step. We've shipped this with brokers in Canada and the US.

How does the content agent handle local market specifics?

We train it on your specific city, neighborhood lists, comparable sales, and the language local buyers use. It's not generic real-estate-blog filler. Local intent is the whole point.

What about disclaimers and fair housing language?

We bake the disclaimer + fair housing language into every template before agent generation. It's in the system prompt. You don't have to remember it; you just have to approve.
