In Indian real estate, most buyer conversations now happen on WhatsApp. Leads arrive from ads, portals and hoardings — and many go cold because the follow-up is slow or random. A simple real estate WhatsApp follow-up plan fixes that.
A simple follow-up plan
- Within minutes: first reply.
- Day 2: brochure and price sheet.
- Day 4–7: site-visit invitation.
- After the visit: thank-you and next step.
- Day 14, then monthly: a useful update — new tower, offer or construction progress.
Buying a home takes months. Patient, useful follow-ups win.
1. First reply (within minutes)
"Hi Amit, thanks for your interest in Green Valley, Ulwe. Are you looking for a 2 BHK or 3 BHK? Reply 2 or 3 and I'll send the right details."
2. Brochure and price sheet
"Hi Amit, here are the 2 BHK floor plans and the current price sheet for Green Valley. Possession is planned for December 2027. Any questions, just reply here."
3. Site-visit invitation
"Our sample flat is open this weekend. Would Saturday 11 am or Sunday 4 pm suit you? Reply 1 or 2."
4. Visit confirmation
"Your site visit to Green Valley is confirmed for Saturday, 11 am. Our team member Priya will meet you at the sales office. Location: [pin]"
5. Reminder the evening before
"See you tomorrow at 11 am at Green Valley. Parking is available at Gate 2. Reply here if your plan changes."
6. After the visit
"Thank you for visiting today, Amit. Hope you liked the 2 BHK on the 9th floor. Shall I share the payment plan and loan options?"
7. If they go quiet
"Hi Amit, just checking in. A few east-facing 2 BHKs are still available in Tower B. Happy to answer any questions whenever you're ready."
8. Monthly update
"Construction update: Tower B has reached the 14th floor. Photos attached. Thank you for staying in touch with Green Valley."
Tips that make follow-ups work
- Reply fast. The first builder to answer clearly often gets the visit.
- Keep each message short, with one question or one action.
- Send only what the buyer asked about — a 3 BHK buyer does not need 1 BHK offers.
- Stop when a buyer says no. Respect builds referrals.
- Message only people who enquired or agreed to hear from you.
Handling hundreds of leads
Ad campaigns can bring hundreds of leads a week — too many for one phone. On the official WhatsApp Business API, the whole sales team works from one number in a shared inbox, and every chat history stays with the business, not with a salesperson's phone. On our Pro plan, chat flows with buttons can ask budget and configuration before a person takes over, and the media library keeps brochures and walkthrough videos ready to send.
