The retention layer
for modern brokerages.

A WhatsApp-native operating layer for real estate — it takes admin off your agents so they sell more, earn more, and stay.

02Where the day goes

Your best agents spend 40% of their day
selling property chasing paperwork.

FICA documents. Proof of address. Offers re-typed. Bond status chased. WhatsApp threads that should be a system. The day disappears into admin nobody hired them to do.

Industry studies consistently put the figure between 35–45%. Your top performers feel it most — they're the ones with the most deals to drag through it.

03The cost behind the cost

That's not just lost hours.
It's why they leave.

Real estate agents are independent contractors. They walk when the admin gets in the way of earning. The brokerage that frees up their day keeps them. The one that doesn't reads the resignation email on a Thursday afternoon.

04The argument

The argument is simpler
than the platform.

Automate the admin. Hand the hours back. Watch what compounds.

— 01

Less admin

FICA, documents, offers, status updates — handled inside the WhatsApp thread the customer already started.

— 02

More selling time

The 40% comes back. Hours spent showing, listing, closing — the work agents actually want to do.

— 03

More commission

More deals per agent per year. The same producers, doing the same work, paid on more transactions.

— 04

Agents stay

Top performers don't leave brokerages that make them money. Retention compounds. So does the brand.

05The platform

Customers see a conversation.
Your team sees a desk.

Underneath: the same AI agent collecting documents, verifying identities, drafting contracts, and pushing every status update onto your principal broker's screen in real time.

06How it works

Four steps. One conversation.

From the buyer's first message to a closed file in your CRM — takat.ai runs the loop end-to-end. Your agents pick up only at the moments that need a human.

— 01 / Arrive

They message on WhatsApp

An enquiry off a listing, a referral, a return buyer. Whatever the trigger, it starts where they already chat.

— 02 / Converse

The AI agent runs the loop

Asks the right questions, gathers the right documents, in the customer's language. Hands to your agent only when it should.

— 03 / Verify

Docs verified on upload

FICA, proof of address, mandates, offers — parsed, validated, and filed against the deal automatically.

— 04 / Resolve

The principal broker's desk stays live

Every status update streams to one operator screen and onward to your CRM. Nothing manually re-keyed. Nothing missed.

07Why real estate first

Real estate is where this hits hardest.

It's the rare industry where your best people are also free agents. Lower their admin load by even 20%, and you've handed them another 2–3 deals a year.

The brokerage that automates first keeps the producers everyone else is trying to hire. The math is unambiguous, the moat is the team.
