Residential sales agencies close happy deals but collect few reviews, because the request comes too late or never. A timed WhatsApp review flow turns closing-day goodwill into a steady stream of Google reviews, typically averaging around 4.9 stars.

The challenge
Buyers and sellers were delighted at the closing table, then life moved on. Agents meant to ask for reviews but felt awkward, requests went out weeks later when the excitement had faded, and the agency's Google profile showed a handful of old ratings while smaller competitors with better review counts won the search results.

Marking a deal closed in the CRM now starts a timed flow: a few hours after key handover, the client gets a warm WhatsApp message from their agent's name with a direct Google review link. AI reads the reply — glowing responses get a drafted testimonial the client can post in one tap, while hesitant or unhappy signals skip Google entirely and route privately to the broker for a personal call the same day.

The impact
An agency can typically collect around 160 new Google reviews a year at a 4.9-star average, rising from two reviews a month to thirteen. About sixty-two percent of clients respond to the request, unhappy feedback reaches the broker before it reaches the internet, and the profile finally matches the service.
Questions about this automation
When is the review request sent?
Marking the deal closed in the CRM starts a timer, and the request goes out a few hours after key handover, while the client is still excited about the move. It arrives on WhatsApp under the agent's name with a direct link to the agency's Google review page, so leaving a review takes one tap.
How does the AI decide whether to send a client to Google?
When the client replies, sentiment analysis reads the message. Positive replies get a short review draft based on the client's own words, which they can edit and post in one tap. Hesitant or negative replies skip the review link entirely and go privately to the broker, who can call the client the same day.
Is the drafted review posted automatically?
No. The draft is only a suggestion sent to the client, who decides whether to edit it, post it or ignore it. Nothing is published on their behalf. The flow also logs each request and response on the deal record, so the agency can see response rates and follow up where needed.
