How real estate agents book viewings on WhatsApp
A real estate agent can book viewings on WhatsApp by publishing viewing windows (one property, one stretch of time) and letting buyers pick a slot inside them. Crew01 offers buyers only those windows, records every enquiry with what the buyer wants, and tells the right agent.
Updated
Viewing windows, not free hours
A realtor does not offer free hours; they choose where they will be. In Crew01 the agent publishes a window, for example "Hayarkon 5, Thursday 10:00 to 12:00", cut into viewings of a set length. Buyers are offered only times inside a window, so nobody can book viewings of three flats twenty minutes apart. A window can be a private viewing or an open house with room for several buyers.
Agents can open and close their own windows. Closing a window cancels nothing; it stops new bookings and shows who is still booked.
Qualifying buyers and renters
Someone sees a sign or a portal ad and writes on WhatsApp. Crew01 answers at once, asks one short question at a time (buying or renting, area, budget, rooms), can search the listings in your catalog, records the lead in the buyer's own words and alerts the agent.
A buyer's chat · you are told
What it does not do
A viewing cannot be moved, only cancelled and booked again. If no window has an open time, the buyer is told and the team is notified. Crew01 does not send listing photos by itself.
What Crew01 does not do
- It never claims to be a person. Asked, it says it is the business's assistant and offers someone from the team.
- It does not guess. A price or a time you did not give it is not invented: it saves the request and tells you.
- It does not give medical, legal or safety advice. A message that sounds like an emergency is flagged to your team straight away.
- It answers on WhatsApp only. Instagram and Facebook Messenger are not offered yet.
- It is not available to sign up by yourself yet. We are setting up a small group of businesses personally, one at a time.
You keep your own WhatsApp number
Crew01 connects to the WhatsApp Business number you already use. You do not get a new number and your customers do not change who they write to. The WhatsApp Business app stays on your phone, and when you reply to a chat yourself, Crew01 leaves that chat to you.
A personal WhatsApp number cannot be connected this way: install the WhatsApp Business app on that number first.
What it costs
Crew01 has three plans. Team is $29 a month for up to 10 team members, the owner included. Business is $99 a month for up to 50 team members. Enterprise is agreed with us for larger teams. Every plan has every feature: the plans differ only in how many people are on your team. Your customers are never counted.
Conversations are never included in a plan. The assistant's replies are paid from a prepaid wallet in your dashboard, only for what you use, with every charge listed. A starter credit is added when your plan begins, and automatic top-up is off until you turn it on. WhatsApp's own message charges, where Meta applies them, are billed by Meta to your own account, not taken from the wallet.
How setup works
- Apply for early access. We set up each business personally and contact you.
- Connect your WhatsApp Business number through Meta's own connection dialog. Nothing changes for your customers.
- Add your hours, services and first answers. If you have a website, Crew01 can read it and suggest services, hours and FAQs, and nothing is used until you approve each item.
- Choose your plan and put a first amount in the wallet.
- Send a test message, then publish. Until you publish, the assistant answers nobody.
