How do real estate agents use WhatsApp?
Agents use WhatsApp to answer property enquiries, send photos and listings, agree viewing times and follow up buyers and tenants. For an agency, the official WhatsApp Business API through a platform such as Haiya puts one number on every agent's phone, gives each buyer one agent as owner and keeps every lead in a pipeline, instead of on personal phones.
Can leads from property ads go straight to WhatsApp?
Yes. Connect your Facebook Page and people who fill in your Meta lead ad form arrive in Haiya as leads, ready to message. A click-to-WhatsApp ad opens a chat with your number instead, and Haiya marks the chat as coming from that ad. Enquiries from your website's contact form can arrive as leads too, through a capture key.
Can buyers book a viewing on WhatsApp?
They can request one. The ready-made Site visit request automation sends a WhatsApp form asking which property and when, and files a site visit request for your team. An agent agrees the time, Haiya sends the confirmation, and a reminder goes out a set number of hours before. Haiya keeps no diary of free slots, so agreeing a time holds nothing until your agent confirms it.
How do I stop two agents contacting the same buyer?
Give every buyer one owner. In Haiya, when an owner or admin answers a buyer nobody owns yet, that reply makes them the owner, and owners and admins can assign a buyer to an agent or offer it to accept or decline. The buyer's lead always has the same owner as their chat.
Can I send new listings to all my contacts?
To the contacts who agreed to hear from you, yes. A broadcast sends one approved template to all your contacts or a tagged group, now or at a time you schedule, and leaves out anyone who opted out or blocked you. Every recipient gets the same message. Meta charges for each delivered message by category and bills your agency directly.
Can Haiya show listings from my property system?
Not as a ready feature. Searching listings or checking availability in your own property system is a custom module, built by the Haiya team for your agency, so book a demo to ask about it. If your system already answers web requests, an automation's Call another system step can ask it directly.
How much does WhatsApp for real estate cost with Haiya?
Haiya costs $8 a month on Hobby, $39 on Professional and $89 on Business, after a 3-day free trial that you start in the iPhone or Android app. Meta's message fees are separate: Meta charges per delivered message, by category, and bills you directly, with no Haiya markup; each number has a monthly free tier of 1,000 service messages.
