60% reduction in lead response time
Ottawa Real Estate Group
The Challenge
Ottawa Real Estate Group was processing over 400 inbound leads per month across seven agents. Response time averaged 4.2 hours — long enough that leads were going cold and choosing competitors. Their lead routing system was a patchwork of manual Slack notifications and spreadsheet tracking. One agent's vacation could back up leads for days. Worse, they'd tried to automate with a simple chatbot the year before. It crashed every few weeks, left leads in a dead-end conversation flow, and the team spent more time managing the bot than it saved them.
The Solution
We built a three-agent pipeline: a classifier agent that categorized inbound leads by property type, price range, and urgency; a routing agent that matched leads to the right sales agent based on specialty and current workload; and a follow-up agent that sent personalized initial responses within 8 minutes while the human agent was being notified. Every agent was built on the Nexus self-healing framework. When the classifier hit a rate limit at 11pm, it backed off and retried automatically. When the routing agent received malformed data from their CRM, it detected the error, logged it with a full diagnosis, and routed to a fallback handler — instead of crashing and blocking 40 leads.
