How the build went, one stage at a time

Read in order, the way a listing moves from coming soon to sold: where the terraced streets specialist agency started, what it cost them, what we built, and what their team can do now.

Starting point

Everyone interested in listing inquiry routing was funneled to one general contact page, whether they had a brand-new request or a question about an existing one.

The problem

When it comes to listing inquiry routing, subjects told staff nothing. Separating a fresh inquiry from an existing conversation required reading everything, every time.

What we built

The contact page opens with a plain three-way choice and routes each selection appropriately. New inquiries gather listing reference, buyer question and contact preference; follow-ups take a shorter form.

What changed

With listing inquiry routing, messages arrive pre-sorted by the person best placed to sort them: the sender. New business and existing conversations no longer compete for attention in one queue.
