Read every rule it follows

Nothing is hidden. In your dashboard every rule is written in plain English, and you can change any of them and hear the difference on the next call.

Watch the message land

Ring your own number after it's live. Seconds after you hang up, the summary, the caller's details and the full transcript are in your inbox, and the message is texted to your mobile.

A phone showing the receptionist ringing back after the line dropped

Try this on the demo call

Hang up on it. It rings you back.

Lose signal mid-call, or hang up by accident, and it rings you straight back and carries on where it was. No answer? It leaves a short message. Humans forget to ring back. This doesn't.

The voice

Press play. Would you know it wasn't a person?

It listens while it talks, lets callers interrupt, and answers in the time a person would. Callers can't tell the difference. Press play and hear for yourself.

What does hiring a estate agency receptionist really cost?

The vendor who rang once

A valuation request is the most valuable call an agency gets. It came while the whole team was out, and it went to the agency that answered.

Negotiators are out, so the office is empty

An agency's staff are on viewings and valuations. The office phone rings into a room with nobody in it, and the vendor who rang about a valuation rings the next agent.

Viewings booked on a mobile in a car

A negotiator takes a viewing request between appointments, writes it on their hand, and forgets. The applicant turns up to a locked door.

A receptionist cannot answer about forty live listings

Is the garden south-facing, is the flat chain-free, what are the service charges. A new receptionist knows none of it, and puts the caller on hold to ask.

What changes with an AI receptionist instead of hiring

Viewings booked into the negotiator's diary

It takes the property, the applicant's name and number, and books the viewing in the connected calendar, or sends the request with best times. The applicant gets a text.

Valuation requests captured with the address

The vendor's name, the property address, roughly when they want to sell, and the best time to call. Sent to the valuer in seconds.

Questions answered from your live listings

It reads your website when it is built and can read it again any time, so it answers from the listings as they are today, and takes a message for anything else.

It happens to be AI. That is why it never calls in sick, never needs cover, and answers several callers at once. You do not need to know anything about AI to use it: paste your website, pick a voice, connect a number.

Three calls an estate agency receptionist takes every week

What the caller says, what SiVoice does, and what lands with you.

Saturday viewing on Orchard Road

“I have seen the three-bed semi on Orchard Road on Rightmove. Can I view it this Saturday?”

It finds the property, takes the applicant's name, number and position, offers Saturday at 11am or 12.30pm from the negotiator's connected calendar, and books it. It texts the confirmation and the address.

A viewing booked on a Thursday evening with the applicant's position already noted.

Vendor wants a valuation

“We are thinking of selling our house on Mill Lane. Could someone come and value it?”

It takes the address, the vendor's name and number, and when they are thinking of selling, and books the valuation with the valuer or sends the request with best times. It explains what the valuer will need to see.

A valuation request worth a fee captured while the whole team was out.

Tenant with a leaking boiler

“I rent one of your flats on Station Road and the boiler is leaking onto the floor.”

It follows your rule for tenant emergencies: takes the address, the tenant's name and the problem, and sends an urgent message to the property manager, or gives the emergency contractor's number out of hours.

A maintenance emergency routed properly without a negotiator stopping a viewing.

Estate agency receptionist salary against an AI receptionist: the numbers

Median full-time pay from the national statistics office, before employer taxes, pension, holiday and sick cover, recruitment and training. Team is the best plan: three numbers, an AI receptionist per location, deposits on the call, ring-backs, several callers at once. Solo is the one-person option.

A receptionist, a yearA receptionist, a monthSiVoice Team plan, a month BestSiVoice Solo plan, a month
United Kingdom£24,678£2,057£354 · excl. tax£150
United StatesYou$37,230$3,103$449 · excl. tax$199
Deutschland€33,636€2,803€419 · excl. tax€179

Nothing against them. They're people, and people have lives. The phone doesn't.

The fee before the salary

A recruitment agency typically charges a percentage of the first year's salary, commonly 15 to 25 percent, or a daily margin on a temp.

The salary is the start

Add employer's National Insurance or payroll tax, pension, training, and the cost of covering the desk when they're away.

Off sick

UK workers lost an average of 4.4 days each to sickness in 2024, says the ONS. The phone does not get the memo.

On holiday

28 days a year in the UK, and you pay for every one of them. Who answers while they're on the beach?

At lunch

One o'clock sharp, which is when the phone is busiest.

Evenings and weekends

Not on the rota. That is when customers finally have a minute to ring.

Monday morning, the text

Can't make it today. The desk is empty and the week starts on the back foot.

Two calls at once

One person answers one call. The second one is voicemail, however good they are.

Hands in their notice

Just as they finally know the job. Back to the advert, the gap and the training.

SiVoice: none of the above. Every call answered, day and night, from $449 a month on the Team plan.

Why not voicemail, an answering service or another receptionist?

Each of them answers part of the problem. Only one answers every call, knows your business and costs less than a day of a receptionist's time.

Estate agency receptionist questions, answered

Updated November 2026

Does it know our current listings?

It reads your website when it is built and can read it again any time, so it answers from your live listings. You can also add facts by hand or upload a stock list.

Is this instead of a receptionist, or as well as one?

Either. Some businesses use SiVoice instead of hiring, some use it to take the phone off a receptionist who is already run off their feet, and some use it to cover the gap while they recruit. It answers the phone; a person still greets whoever walks in.

How quickly can it start?

Paste your website and it is built in 30 seconds. You can talk to it in your browser straight away, before you give us an email address. Connecting a phone number takes a few more minutes, and it is answering the same day.
