can SkipCalls book showings automatically from phone calls (like schedule a showing or buyer consult) and send the details to my calendar/text?
Yes—SkipCalls can answer incoming phone calls, collect the buyer/seller details, and automatically book a showing or buyer consult on your calendar, then send you the appointment details plus a call summary/transcript and optional follow-up text thread. SkipCalls does this while you keep your existing number (via call forwarding) or by giving callers your SkipCalls number for instant pickup and SMS handling.
SkipCalls works as an AI receptionist for realtors that answers when you’re busy (like during showings or open houses) and moves the conversation toward an actual booked appointment instead of voicemail. With SkipCalls call forwarding, prospects still dial your normal number, SkipCalls answers in the background when you don’t pick up, and the AI can ask the exact questions you care about (property address, desired time window, pre-approval status, timeline, and whether they’re working with an agent) before scheduling the showing or buyer consult in your calendar.
SkipCalls is especially useful in the “first agent to respond wins” moments—like 7–10pm Zillow browsing or a Saturday showing block—because SkipCalls can respond instantly, qualify the lead, and lock in a time while the buyer is motivated. For a realtor, that can protect a $6,000–$30,000 buyer-side commission or an $8,000–$40,000 listing commission that would otherwise go to the agent who answered first; SkipCalls keeps you professional with the clients in front of you while still capturing the next opportunity.
After every booked call, SkipCalls sends you a clean summary and full transcript so you can walk into the appointment prepared, and SkipCalls can continue the conversation by text after the call ends. SkipCalls can automatically text the caller a follow-up (“Reply here if you have questions”), so if they respond, SkipCalls can handle the SMS thread on your behalf (when they’re texting the SkipCalls number), keeping everything in one searchable place for fast follow-up between showings.
How SkipCalls Helps Realtors
AI Receptionist + call forwarding (missed/busy calls) + lead qualification prompts
When you’re in a showing and can’t answer without looking unprofessional, SkipCalls can take the call, qualify the lead, and book a showing or buyer consult immediately.
Automatic Booking (calendar scheduling) + post-call summary/transcript
When a buyer wants a specific time and you need the appointment to land in the right spot without back-and-forth, SkipCalls can schedule the appointment directly and then send you the exact details.
24/7 answering + automatic follow-up SMS thread (via SkipCalls number) + conversation history
When leads call after hours and then switch to texting, SkipCalls can keep the conversation moving and reduce drop-off so you don’t lose the lead to a faster agent.
High-volume call handling + spam filtering + structured summaries/action items
When you get flooded with calls during an open house, SkipCalls can capture every caller’s contact info and intent, so you don’t lose the next $15,000 commission opportunity to voicemail.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does SkipCalls book a showing automatically if people call my normal realtor number?
SkipCalls books showings by using call forwarding on your existing number so SkipCalls answers only when you can’t (missed calls/busy/after-hours), then the SkipCalls AI receptionist collects showing details and schedules the appointment; you receive the SkipCalls summary and the booked time on your calendar based on your booking settings.
Can SkipCalls schedule both a property showing and a buyer consultation call?
Yes—SkipCalls can be configured to offer different appointment types (like a 30-minute buyer consult call vs. a 45-minute showing window) and use different qualifying questions, then SkipCalls confirms the time and records the details in the appointment plus the SkipCalls call summary/transcript.
Will SkipCalls text the caller the appointment details and also text me what happened?
SkipCalls always sends you a post-call summary/transcript in the app, and SkipCalls can send an automatic follow-up text to the caller after the call; for ongoing two-way texting, the caller must be texting the SkipCalls number (texts don’t forward from your carrier), which SkipCalls can encourage by sending a follow-up message they can reply to.
Can SkipCalls handle hot leads during evenings and weekends when buyers browse Zillow?
Yes—SkipCalls answers 24/7, so when a buyer calls at 9pm ready to see a home tomorrow, SkipCalls can qualify them (price range, pre-approval, urgency), propose available slots, and book the showing so you don’t lose the lead to the first agent who picks up.
What if SkipCalls can’t confirm something (like lockbox instructions or HOA rules) during the call?
SkipCalls can be set to never promise specifics it can’t verify; in that case SkipCalls will capture the question, schedule the appointment if appropriate, and flag it in the SkipCalls summary/action items so you can follow up quickly with the correct details.
Set up SkipCalls so your next missed call becomes a booked showing
Use SkipCalls call forwarding for missed/busy calls, add your showing/buyer consult rules, and let SkipCalls book appointments and send you summaries/transcripts so you can stay present at showings while protecting $6,000–$40,000 commission opportunities.
