textcuts for real estate agents
A new lead writes while you are driving between showings. The first agent to answer usually gets the conversation. textcuts is a keyboard that holds your lead replies, showing confirmations and follow ups, so you can answer from WhatsApp, iMessage, Instagram or email in a few taps. See the real estate pack for a starter set, or read the Hebrew page for agents in Israel.
Why answer from the keyboard
Leads arrive in different places: a portal message, a text, a WhatsApp from a sign call, an Instagram DM. A CRM can send a first auto reply, but the real conversation is a person writing back. With textcuts the reply you have written a hundred times is one tap away in whichever app the lead used.
- Reply to a new lead while you are still in the car, with the property address filled in.
- Confirm a showing with the day and time in one message.
- Send the same follow up after a tour without opening a notes app.
- Keep your own wording, so the lead hears you and not a template.
Three messages most agents send every day
The first reply
Thank the lead by name, name the property, and offer a call or a time to see it.
The showing confirmation
Day, time, address and where to meet. Fill the day and time in the panel and send.
The follow up after a tour
A short message the same evening asking what they thought, then one with something useful two days later.
Blanks that match the job
A blank is a gap in a saved message that you fill in when you insert it. For agents the useful ones are the name, the address, the day and the time. On the free plan one blank per message fills in. Messages with two or more different blanks, such as an address and a time together, need Pro.
| Situation | Blank to fill in |
|---|---|
| Reply to a portal lead | Name |
| Showing reminder the day before | Time |
| Thank you after an open house | Name |
| Check in with a lead who went quiet | Name |
Free and Pro
The free plan holds eight textcuts, one folder and one blank per message. Pro removes the limits and fills messages with two or more blanks. It costs 3.99 dollars a month, 24.99 dollars a year or 49.99 dollars once in the US. Importing a whole pack from a page is never blocked.
How it compares
If you only use WhatsApp Business, its built in quick replies may be enough. See the comparison of WhatsApp Business quick replies and a keyboard to decide. Teams that share images and files from one board should read textcuts vs Boards.
