For real estate

The AI Receptionist for Real Estate Agents

Updated July 2026.

The short answer

DonutBerry is an AI receptionist built only for real estate agents. Berry answers every call 24/7, discloses it’s an AI, qualifies the caller as a buyer or seller (timeline, pre-approval), books the showing on your calendar, and texts you a summary — at a flat $299–$499/month with 1,000–2,000 minutes included and a free 7-day trial.

Generic AI answering services can take a message for anyone. A realtor’s calls are different: the caller is standing outside your listing, the question is “can I see it tomorrow at 5?”, and the answer needs your showing rules, your calendar, and your CRM. That’s the job Berry is built for — and the only job it does.

What Berry does on every call

Berry is the AI voice agent behind DonutBerry. When a call comes in — while you’re mid-showing, at 8:47pm, or across an open-house Saturday — Berry:

  • Answers instantly, 24/7, and introduces itself as your AI assistant (no pretending to be human).
  • Qualifies the caller the way an agent would: buyer or seller, timeline, budget, pre-approval status.
  • Answers listing questions from your own listings and showing rules — Berry is trained on them during setup.
  • Books the showing on your real availability: connected to Google Calendar, Calendly, or Cal.com with your buffers and windows.
  • Texts you a three-line summary the moment the call ends, and pushes the lead to Follow Up Boss, BoldTrail, Lofty, Sierra Interactive, or your CRM via Zapier.
  • Transfers to you in real time when a caller needs a human — and if you can’t pick up, texts you the caller’s number and question.

You choose when Berry picks up

Most agents set Berry to answer only after 3 rings — so it catches the calls you can’t take without touching the ones you want. You can also scope Berry to after-hours and weekends only, or run full overflow where Berry covers every call. You keep your existing number; setup is a call-forwarding change we walk you through.

Flat pricing, published

After Hours: $299/month with 1,000 included minutes (then $0.30/min) — every night, weekend, and missed-call lead handled. All Day: $499/month with 2,000 included minutes (then $0.25/min) — coverage through the workday for busy agents and small teams. Enterprise: custom rollout for brokerages. Month-to-month, no contract. Booking, summaries, and 24/7 coverage are included on every plan — there are no per-call add-ons.

Free to start: 7 days with 150 included call minutes, whichever comes first. We collect a card to authorize setup but charge nothing today, and nothing automatically after — Berry pauses at the end of your trial and we only bill if you choose to continue.

White-glove setup, live in 48 hours

You don’t configure anything yourself. We collect your listings page, calendar, CRM, and preferences; train Berry on your listings, qualification flow, and handoff rules; confirm your phone carrier and walk you through call forwarding. About 48 hours after you start, Berry is answering real calls — inside your free trial, before you’ve paid anything.

How Berry compares to the alternatives

We publish honest, price-verified comparisons rather than asking you to take our word for it. Against general AI answering services, the difference is the real-estate layer: buyer/seller qualification, listing training, and booking the showing during the call (several generalists text the caller a scheduling link instead). Against human receptionist services, the difference is economics: flat AI pricing buys 1,000–2,000 minutes where metered human services charge $250+/month for 50.

Frequently asked questions

What is an AI receptionist for real estate agents?
An AI receptionist for real estate answers your inbound calls with a natural-sounding AI voice, qualifies the caller as a buyer or seller, answers listing questions, books showings on your calendar, and sends you a summary — 24/7, including the calls you miss mid-showing or after hours. DonutBerry is built exclusively for this; general-purpose AI answering services do a broader, shallower version of the same job.
How much does an AI receptionist for real estate cost?
DonutBerry costs a flat $299/month (1,000 included minutes) or $499/month (2,000 minutes), with booking, summaries, and after-hours coverage included and a free 7-day/150-minute trial. Across the wider market (verified July 2026), generic AI answering runs $25–$300/month with smaller minute buckets, and human receptionist services run $250–$1,725/month for 50–500 minutes.
Can it really book showings on my calendar?
Yes — during the call, not via a texted link. At setup we connect Berry to your calendar app (Google Calendar, Calendly, Cal.com) and set your showing rules, buffers, and available windows. When a qualified lead wants to see a property, Berry offers times you are actually available and puts the appointment on your calendar before the caller hangs up.
Do callers know they’re talking to an AI?
Yes. Berry introduces itself as your AI assistant at the top of every call — we don’t try to hide it. Most callers don’t pause; they’re relieved someone answered. If a caller wants a human, Berry tries to transfer to you in real time, and texts you the caller’s number and question if you can’t pick up.
Which real-estate CRMs does it work with?
Follow Up Boss, BoldTrail, Lofty, and Sierra Interactive are supported directly, alongside Google Calendar, Calendly, and Cal.com for scheduling — and most other real-estate CRMs connect via webhook or Zapier. Tell us what you run at setup and we wire it up as part of the white-glove onboarding.
What happens when Berry can’t answer a question?
There is always a human in the loop. If Berry can’t answer, it tries to transfer the call to you in real time. If you can’t pick up, Berry texts you immediately with the caller’s number and what they asked, and tells the caller: “let me have your agent call you back personally — what’s the best number?”
