The sign call comes while you are in someone else's kitchen
A buyer parked outside your listing will ring one agent. GreetKeeper answers for you, finds out whether they're financed and working with anyone, and books the showing.
Caller
“I'm sitting outside the place on Marlow Street with the sign out front. Is it still available and can I see inside this week?”
What happened next
- Confirmed the listing is active, answered the question on the HOA fee
- Qualified: pre-approved with a local lender, not currently represented
- Booked a showing Tuesday 5:30pm and added the buyer to the listing feedback list
A buyer outside a house does not leave a message
Sign calls have a short half-life. Someone parked at your kerb wants an answer now, and if they get your voicemail they drive to the next open house.
You're in a listing appointment, at a closing, or driving between showings with a client in the passenger seat. None of those are moments to take a call, and all of them are when your sign calls arrive.
The caller you miss is often a buyer nobody represents yet, which is the most valuable call in your week. Miss it and you've paid for the sign, the photography and the listing exposure so somebody else could pick up the phone.
GreetKeeper answers with the address your caller mentioned, confirms the listing status, and asks the qualifying questions you'd have asked yourself.
The three questions that decide whether it is a showing
Financed, unrepresented, and serious about the area. You set the wording, and this is the order most agents use.
Confirm which property
Callers quote the street, the sign number, or a listing they half remember. It matches against the properties you gave it and states your price and status rather than guessing.
Ask about financing
Pre-approved, paying cash, or still talking to lenders. That answer changes whether you're showing this week or making a lender introduction, and it's one sentence to ask.
Ask who they are working with
A buyer already under agency is a different conversation, and you want to know before you drive across town. It records the answer plainly rather than steering it.
Book the showing or hand to you
A qualified buyer gets a slot on your calendar. A seller inquiry, a price reduction question or anything touching an existing contract goes straight to your mobile.
Where the lead ends up
You live in a CRM and a calendar, and only the calendar takes a direct write.
| Tool | How it connects | What that means |
|---|---|---|
| Google Calendar | Writes directly | Direct write. The showing appears with the address in the title. |
| Outlook Calendar | Writes directly | Direct write, the same. |
| Follow Up Boss | Through Zapier | Through Zapier, as a new lead with the call details attached. The Zap starts from our webhook and needs a paid Zapier plan. |
| kvCORE | Not yet | No verified path yet. |
| Salesforce | Through Zapier | Through Zapier, for brokerages running their own instance. |
| MLS systems | Not yet | Nothing writes to an MLS, and no vendor should say it does. |
Against one commission, this is rounding
You're most likely comparing this with a call answering service, or with nothing at all.
| Plan | Monthly | Calls included | After that |
|---|---|---|---|
| StarterFor a single location taking calls one line at a time. | $49 | 200 | $0.45 per call |
| ProfessionalBooking, routing and transfers included, not an add-on. | $149 | 750 | $0.35 per call |
| ScaleFor busy phones and longer opening hours. | $349 | 2,000 | $0.25 per call |
Starter is $49 a month for 200 answered calls, then 45 cents each. If you're solo with four or five active listings, you'll stay well inside it. A team running sign calls for twenty listings usually sits on Professional at $149 for 750 calls, then 35 cents.
Booking is included at $49 here. Rosie holds booking behind its $149 tier as of September 2026, and that's the comparison worth doing before you judge the entry prices against each other.

What agents ask
Will it know the details of my listings?
It knows what you give it: address, price, status, bedrooms, HOA fee, showing instructions. It doesn't read your MLS live, so a stale list gives stale answers. Update it when you move a price.
Can it qualify a buyer?
It asks your questions about financing, representation and timing, then records the answers in the caller's own words. Deciding what to do with that stays with you.
What about a fair housing problem?
Your script is deliberately narrow and avoids protected characteristics entirely. Run the wording past your broker before it goes live, the same as you would with any lead form.
Does it write to Follow Up Boss?
Through Zapier, as a new lead with the transcript link attached. Your Google Calendar or Outlook takes the showing directly, and nothing writes to an MLS.
Can it cover open house weekends only?
Yes. Forward your line Saturday and Sunday, or on no-answer whenever you're showing. You'll change that rule from your phone between appointments.
