Why commissions get lost
In Dubai’s market, buyers expect immediate answers. Leads go cold when you’re in viewings, driving between communities, or handling paperwork. That delay turns into real estate commission loss through lead leakage and deal poaching.
Lead leakage
A follow-up never happens, or happens late. The buyer moves to the next agent who replied first.
Deal poaching
The client finds a similar listing or gets a faster response from another broker while you’re offline.
Case studies (Dubai)
CASE STUDY 01
Off-plan specialist in Business Bay
Average response time dropped from 18 minutes to under 2 minutes after adding instant WhatsApp replies. The team booked 3 more viewings per week and recovered two commissions that would have gone cold.
CASE STUDY 02
Rental team in JVC
Using automated WhatsApp templates, the team responded during peak evening hours. Their follow-up rate rose from 62% to 93%, reducing commission loss on competitive rental leads.
CASE STUDY 03
Luxury broker in Palm Jumeirah
Speed-to-lead automation helped secure two high-value villa inquiries before competitors called. One deal closed within 10 days.
