Real scenario

Before: Reception covered 9–5, after-hours rang out to generic voicemail with single-digit return rate. Agents using personal mobiles for client calls. No CRM integration.

After 3CX PRO: Agency number routes to AI Receptionist after 5pm; captures property of interest, name, contact, urgency, emails to the right agent. Morning meeting starts with overnight enquiries already in the CRM. After-hours conversion lifted from under 10% to 35%. Agents stopped giving out personal mobile entirely - the agency number works the same on their iPhones.

3CX PRO for most agencies - gives you the CRM integration, advanced queues and AI voicemail transcription.

3CX AI Edition if you want the AI Receptionist handling after-hours rental enquiries. The lift in captured leads typically pays for the edition step-up many times over.

Common questions

Why not just use everyone's mobile?
Three reasons. (1) When agents leave, they take their relationships and contact numbers with them - the next agent can't pick up where they left off. (2) Personal mobile exposure is a privacy issue and unprofessional. (3) There's no system view - no recording, no CRM integration, no reporting. 3CX gives every agent the agency number on their mobile without any of those problems.
What about after-hours rental enquiries?
This is where 3CX AI Edition shines. The AI Receptionist takes every after-hours call, captures property/contact/timeline, and emails the lead to the right agent. We've seen agencies lift after-hours conversion by 30%+ because every enquiry actually gets followed up the next morning instead of disappearing into voicemail.
Does 3CX integrate with my real estate CRM?
Yes for the major systems with REST APIs (Box+Dice, Rex, PropertyMe, Console, AgentBox via integrations and custom templates). We build templates for ones that aren't pre-built - typically 1–3 days.
Multi-office routing?
Standard. Each office has its own number; calls route by suburb, agent availability, or property type. Branches that share staff can use hot-desking.
How does call recording work for compliance?
Inbound calls get a recording disclosure message ('this call may be recorded for quality and training purposes'). Recordings are encrypted and retained for 90 days–7 years depending on your industry-body requirements. Audit-logged access.
