- Viewing requested for Saturday 11:00 · agent confirms today
- Enquiry saved with the property and move-in date
A typical conversation
What it asks, what it keeps, what happens next.
Westshore Lettings is a fictional business, but the conversation is exactly how ReceptOwl works.

Is the two-bed on Harbour View still going? I’d love a viewing.
ReceptOwl
It is! Would Thursday at six or Saturday at eleven suit you?

The problem
Where enquiries get lost.
- 01
Listings get enquiries at all hours
A new listing can bring a rush of messages over a weekend. The agent who replies first often gets the viewing.
- 02
The same questions for every property
Is it still available? What’s the BER? Are pets allowed? — answers already in the listing, asked again and again.
- 03
Urgent issues arrive out of hours
A tenant’s boiler breaks on a Friday night. Someone needs to know, and the tenant needs to know what happens next.
Built for your front desk
The questions it answers. The details it takes.

What happens next
Every enquiry ends with a clear next step.
- 01
Viewing request
With preferred times, for your team to confirm — or booked where your viewing diary is connected.
- 02
Valuation call
Booked with the right agent, with the property details already collected.
- 03
Urgent maintenance alert
To your on-call contact, with the address and the problem; the tenant is told what happens next.

Follow-up after viewings
A check-in at the time you choose, stopping as soon as they reply.
Straight answers
Straight to you when it matters.
ReceptOwl handles the everyday on its own. You decide what should come straight to you — these are the usual rules, and yours may differ.
Comes straight to you when there’s…
- Offers and negotiations — always to an agent
- Legal, contract or deposit disputes
- Complaints
- Anything that needs professional advice
- The caller asks for an agent
What it won’t do
- Accept, discuss or pass judgement on offers
- Screen or rank applicants — your team decides who views and who’s offered a property
- Give legal, tax or mortgage advice
Works with what you use now.
Property CRMs vary. Where yours has an integration we can use, ReceptOwl records enquiries and viewings there; otherwise they reach your team by email with everything they need.
A good fit if…
- New listings bring a rush of enquiries
- Lots of messages arrive in the evening and at weekends
- Your team repeats listing details all day
- You manage lettings with out-of-hours maintenance
Tailored demo
Build your receptionist.
Answer six quick questions and watch it take shape. We then build a demo around your business — your services, your hours, your customers’ questions — and show you how it handles them.
- A demo built on your own services, hours and questions
- Your receptionist, with the name and manner you chose
- A clear picture of going live: channels, connections, cost
Free, no obligation. We never contact your customers, and nothing is connected to your systems for the demo.
