How fast do your leads really hear back?

Most agents think they reply in minutes. The data usually says hours. Score yourself now in five questions, then ask us to test you for real with a genuine enquiry, timed to the minute.

Part 1: Score yourself

Answer honestly. Nobody sees this but you.

Part 2: The real test

Let us secret-shop your follow-up

Self-scores are optimistic. Tell us where your leads come in and we will send a real buyer-style enquiry at an unannounced time, often in the evening or at the weekend. Then we time every reply for seven days and email you the report.

Frequently asked questions

What is speed to lead in real estate?

Speed to lead is the time between a new enquiry arriving and the first real reply from you or your team. Online leads often contact several agents at once, so the first agent to reply usually gets the conversation.

How fast should a realtor respond to a new lead?

Aim for under five minutes, including evenings and weekends. Research on lead response, such as the MIT and InsideSales lead response study, found that contact and qualification rates drop sharply after the first few minutes.

What happens during the real test?

We submit one buyer-style enquiry through the form or contact button on the page you give us, at a time we do not announce. We record when and how you reply over seven days, then send a short "thanks, all set" so you are not left chasing it.

How can I respond to leads faster without working longer hours?

An instant automatic text reply, a missed-call text back and automated follow-up sequences cover most of the gap. Truclose does all three and books appointments onto your calendar.
