Best AI Tools to Analyze Real Estate Calls: A Guide to Converting More Leads in 2026
Lead costs rose 30-40% in the last year.
Each and every conversation with a potential client has never been more important than today.
The teams crushing it now? They are using AI to find out what works and what does not in their conversations.
Meanwhile, everyone else keeps making more calls and wondering why nothing changes.
The tech has improved significantly since being able to record and transcribe conversations. The good platforms look at how you build rapport with the lead, how you respond to push back, and how you ask for the appointment.
Of these three areas, asking for the appointment is the most important.
If you are only asking for the appointment 15% of the time and the top producers are getting appointments 45% of the time, you are essentially leaving 75% of your opportunities on the table.
Yes, 75%.
Core features to look for
So how do you distinguish between tools that will truly help you and those that will simply add to the mountains of data on your desk?
Here are a couple of quick tells:
The quality ones provide real-time transcription using models trained on actual real estate conversations (not generic sales talk).
They also measure how much of the conversation you spend talking vs. the lead. They can identify the objections you have handled poorly vs. the ones you have done well with.
They provide automated lead qualification so you are not writing down notes after each call. Coaching feedback needs to be specific enough that you can apply it to your next call.
Finally, the CRM integration should seamlessly integrate into your existing workflow without requiring you to troubleshoot it each week.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown of metrics you should be paying attention to:
| What to Look For | Why It Actually Matters | Real Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Talk Time Analysis | Identifies if you are controlling the conversation and allowing the lead to talk or if you are talking and the lead is not contributing. | When you strike a balance, you can expect results 15-25% better than average. |
| Objection Tracking | Identifies which objections you are good at handling and which ones you struggle with. | You can improve your objection handling by 20-30%. |
| Appointment Ask Percentage | Uncomfortable truth – the percentage of times you actually ask for the appointment. | By tracking this metric, you can increase your appointment requests by 40-60%. |
| ALM Scoring | Ensures you are capturing the Appointment/Location/Motivation on every single call. | When used correctly, you can qualify 35-50% more real opportunities. |
| Rapport Building Metrics | Identify if you are creating a connection with the lead or simply pitching. | If you can develop a rapport, you can increase the chances of the lead showing up to the meeting by 10-20%. |
Those are the metrics that matter, however they are only useful if the platform you are considering provides actionable data.
Unfortunately, many teams quickly discover their current tools are not providing the level of detail they require to make meaningful improvements.
The best AI tools for real estate in 2026
#1. MaverickRE: Top real estate AI for call analysis
MaverickRE evaluates your calls using over twenty real estate-specific evaluation metrics. Examples include ALM scoring, rapport-building during property-related conversations, how you handle tour agreements or commission discussions.
MaverickRE evaluates both your practice calls with AI prospects and your actual Follow Up Boss recordings using the same criteria.
There is zero disconnect between training and performance.
The automation aspect is what sets MaverickRE apart: Thirty minutes after an appointment, the AI sends a text to the agent(s) for the outcome, and automatically updates Follow Up Boss with notes and lead status. You can create custom grading rubrics for each lead type.
You can grade Zillow Flex calls differently than you would with Sphere Referrals. The intelligent routing sends leads to the best performer(s) based on actual performance data.
#2. Beside: Communication hub for solo agents
Beside provides a dedicated business phone number along with auto-call transcription, voicemail-to-text, follow-up reminders, and limited reporting capabilities.
What works well: Beside is ideal for flying solo or running a small team. Beside helps to manage multiple communication channels. Auto-notes after calls. Voicemails receive as texts so nothing goes un-noticed.
Where it falls short: It does not recognize real estate conversations. Does not have ALM scoring.
Cannot grade differently for various lead types. Has no practice features.
You will know a call took place; however, you will not know if you built rapport or asked for the appointment.
Beside is good for organizing yourself. However, if you want to determine why your conversion ratio is stuck at 12%, Beside will not assist you.
#3. Structurely: The always-on chatbot
Structurely uses an AI chat bot named "Aisa Holmes" to engage leads via text and email immediately, ask qualifying questions, and schedule appointments.
What works well: With online leads, response time is key. Structurely responds within minutes. For teams drowning in inbound volumes, Structurely keeps leads from going cold while you are busy.
Where it falls short: It does not evaluate your actual conversations. It replaces them.
Solves the speed issue, and then leaves you on your own to figure out how to actually convert once you get on the phone. There is no insight into how you handle objections or build rapport.
Structurely does a great job of catching leads. Learning how to close them?
That is your problem.
#4. CINC (Alex): The lead management system
CINC's platform includes an AI named "Alex," that evaluates the initial contact to a lead to assess and route them to your agents. Provides automated lead scoring and intelligent routing to the CRM tracking.
What works well: Running paid advertising across multiple sources? CINC provides significant infrastructure to manage the high volume of lead flow. Alex identifies the tire kickers so your agents can concentrate on real opportunities.
Where it falls short: Once Alex transfers the lead to an agent, the viewability ends. You will know who closes more deals, but you will not know why.
There is no call grading or coaching data to enable you to replicate what your top performing agents do.
CINC handles the recruiting part brilliantly. The skills training part?
You still need to figure that out yourself.
#5. Target First: Market intelligence focus
Target First provides an AI conversational assistant with real-time tracking of conversation topics and trends throughout your entire pipeline.
What works well: Do you want to understand what clients are discussing? What concerns keep repeating themselves, what objections are trending? Target First will give you that market intelligence. Great for helping adjust your overall strategy.
Where it falls short: The coaching is very general. No real estate specific grading, no customizable rubric for different lead sources.
It can tell you which topics are discussed, but it cannot provide you with coaching on how to handle them better.
Great for the big picture, less effective for the daily grind of developing your skills.
#6. ChatGPT and Claude: DIY practice tools
Using AI language models such as ChatGPT or Claude in voice mode is a cost-effective method to practice your conversations and analyze your transcripts.
What works well: Very flexible and inexpensive. Practice anytime, simulate different personalities of clients, and work on specific scenarios without needing a role play partner.
Where it falls short: No structured format, no analysis of your actual calls, no CRM integration, and no visibility for the rest of the team. It is all on you to know what to practice and whether or not you are improving.
Effectiveness depends on the motivation of the individual, and if you already know your weaknesses. Most teams, however, will not be motivated to practice because of the lack of accountability.
Surprise.
Where most platforms fall short
Most of the tools above have their different pros and cons, but there are a couple of areas where they all collectively fall short on.
Below are just some of the recurring gaps in these tools that often leave them unable to meet the expectations of many teams.
Customization by lead type: A Zillow lead requires different grading than a Sphere Referral, yet most tools treat them the same.
Practicing and performance are NOT connected: You practice one way, receive grading in a different manner, and struggle to correlate the two.
Coaching feedback is too vague: Being informed that you "need improvement" does not inform you of what you need to change.
Accountability loop is broken: Even with good data insights, the absence of a mechanism to ensure the agents are utilizing the insights makes the insights irrelevant.
What Sets MaverickRE Apart
This is why we developed MaverickRE, to fill the voids that exist in the marketplace. We did not do this by adding layers of complexity; instead, we approached AI call analysis differently, and more appropriately for the real estate industry.
Real estate DNA
Our AI uses real estate-specific data points for analyzing calls, such as
ALM scoring is used to check for appointment commitment, location preference, and motivation level
Rapport building identifies language patterns that are associated with home and neighborhood conversations
Objection handling recognizes "I am just browsing", and "I already have an agent", as real estate objections, not general sales resistance.
We track how your agents manage tours, commissions, and price negotiations.
That is, we track the specific skills that distinguish your 30% converters from your 8% ones.
| What MaverickRE Tracks | What It Measures | Why It Predicts Success |
|---|---|---|
| ALM Completeness | Did the agent get appointment commitment, location preference, and motivation level? | Complete ALM = 3.2x more conversions |
| Talk Time Ratio | Is the agent speaking less than 40% of the time compared to the client? | The 40/60 sweet spot = 45% better results |
| Objection Handling | Did the agent acknowledge, empathize, and overcome the objection? | Proper handling = 55% more conversions |
| Appointment Ask Rate | How often were meetings actually asked for? | Every 10% increase = 8-12% more appointments |
| Rapport Building | Did the agent use names, mirror language, and show empathy? | Strong rapport = 35% better show rates |
Integration that works
As important as the data itself is whether that data is accurately updated and available.
This is how MaverickRE solves the single biggest data integrity problem in real estate.
The Follow Up Boss integration goes beyond simply syncing calls.
Every 30 minutes after every scheduled meeting, our AI sends your agent a text: "How did it go with John Smith?"
Agent responds with: "Great, touring three properties tomorrow." Our AI automatically updates the lead stage, adds the agent's notes, and triggers the correct follow-up sequence.
Agents forget to update records because they are busy running from appointment to appointment, managing multiple clients, and "I will update it later" usually means never.
With MaverickRE, agents can update records with a simple text response.
There are no additional log-ins, and no remembering to update after a long day. Updating occurs because we made it simpler to update than not to.
Custom grading per lead source
Once you have accurate data being fed into your CRM, the next challenge is ensuring that you are measuring the right things.
A great call with a warm referral looks very different from a great call with a cold Zillow lead.
MaverickRE allows you to develop custom rubrics for each lead source.
Grading Zillow calls on ALM compliance and quick appointment setting.
Grading referrals on relationship building and timeline discussion.
Grading cold prospecting calls on objection handling and contact accuracy.
What is important for a $1,000 online lead is different than what is important for a warm referral. Your grading should reflect that.
One of our Zillow partners told us they saw conversions jump 55% due to the fact they could finally grade calls the way Zillow grades them.
They created a custom ALM rubric, agents practiced those specific scenarios with our AI role-play, and then their live calls were graded with the exact same criteria.
The feedback became so tight that improvement occurred within days, not months.
Practice meets performance
Most platforms fail miserably in this regard. They will continue to grade your calls all day long, but they do not provide a safe environment for agents to actually get better prior to taking live calls.
Agents can call our practice numbers at any time and role-play with AI prospects that act like real people. They will throw objections, hang up if you do not handle it properly, reschedule if you build a good connection, and book appointments when you close it correctly.
Over 100 AI personalities with 16+ unique objections mean it will never be boring again.
Those practice calls will be graded with the exact same rubric that grades your real Follow Up Boss recordings. You will practice asking for appointments until you are consistently scoring 8s and 9s, and then take that same skill into your actual conversations with real confidence.
We had one agent with severe phone anxiety complete over 20 practice calls until she consistently scored high.
Her first day back on live calls? She booked two appointments.
The practice had removed her fear and provided her with real muscle memory.
Data that you can act on
All of this grading and practicing generate a tremendous amount of data.
The question is whether that data will assist you in making better decisions, or simply provide you with more dashboards to ignore.
Sales managers tell us all the time that MaverickRE provides actionable data, not just data for the sake of data, and it’s become kind of our mantra.
You can immediately see which agents are requesting appointments 10% of the time versus your top performers at 45%.
Compare talk time ratios between successful and unsuccessful calls. Determine which objections your team struggles with most.
Do you want to know why Levi has a 30% conversion rate, and Farah has an 8% conversion rate?
View their graded calls side-by-side, and identify exactly what Sarah is doing differently than Mike.
Right there in the data. No guessing games.
Smart lead routing
Now that you can see who is truly performing well (and not just who talks the loudest in meetings), the obvious next step is to ensure your best opportunities go to your best people.
MaverickRE automatically directs leads to your best agents, based on actual performance data. Conversion rates, specialties, locations, and availability.
The system offers leads via text or Slack. If someone does not respond quickly enough, it is directed to the next qualified agent.
The data determines what happens. Agents who are converting better receive more opportunities.
Agents who allow leads to go cold receive fewer opportunities, until they improve. If Elsa excels at closing luxury listings at 40% while the team averages 15%, luxury listings are directed to Maria first.
The routing follows performance. No more debates about who deserves what.
Making your decision
After walking through all of the capabilities and platforms described above, you are likely trying to determine how to actually select a platform. The decision becomes much clearer when you focus on what actually produces results versus what simply appears impressive during a demo.
Real Estate Specificity: Does the platform understand property conversations, or is it generic sales software with a real estate sticker?
Coaching You Can Utilize: Does the platform tell you exactly what to repair, or simply tells you that you need to improve in some manner?
Reliability of Integration: Does the platform function reliably and consistently, or are you always troubleshooting?
Alignment Between Practice and Performance: Can agents practice with the same grading they will receive on actual calls?
Customization: Can you modify the grading for different lead sources, or is everything graded the same?
Efficiency of Manager: Does the platform reduce the workload of your sales managers, or create more work for them?
Actual Results: Are there actual case studies with actual numbers from other teams similar to yours?
Transform Your Team Performance Now
The actual results we continually mention? Those results are not hypothetical.
At MaverickRE, we have seen teams add $100 million in sales, increase conversions by 55%, and improve call quality by 22% in only 30 days.
That is achieved by combining real estate-specific AI analysis with hands-on coaching tools that your agents will actually utilize.
