Executive Summary
San Diego agent Jordan Blake relied on Zillow, Redfin, and Realtor.com leads—but by the time he called back, buyers had already spoken with two competitors. Alfacreators connected every portal lead to ConversaBot™, our AI caller that rings the prospect within 90 seconds, qualifies, and books showings on the spot.
In six months Jordan’s team slashed median response time from 18 minutes to 1 minute 29 seconds and closed 52 % more deals than the same period last year—without spending a dollar more on lead sources. Speed alone delivered the edge.
1 | Introduction
Client Background Jordan Blake Homes (4-agent team) averages 60 annual sides in coastal San Diego. Leads come 80 % from paid portals.
Market Context Response-time “arms race”: Zillow survey shows agents returning calls in under five minutes win 73 % of conversions.
Purpose Show that sub-two-minute AI callbacks out-convert human follow-up and create a measurable competitive moat.
