# Runner for real estate agents

> Respond to leads faster, draft listing emails, and keep your schedule straight. Runner connects your inbox, calendar, CRM, and MLS so you can sell more homes.

Real estate moves fast. Leads come in at all hours, showings pile up, and half your day goes to emails and scheduling. Runner connects your inbox, calendar, CRM, and MLS tools so you can spend less time managing and more time closing.

## Your tools, connected

Runner works with the apps agents actually use. Not just email and calendar. CRM, MLS, docs, spreadsheets, and the browser-based tools you're stuck with.

## What Runner does for agents

### Respond to leads before they go cold

A new lead emails you at 9pm. You're at dinner. Runner sees it, drafts a personalized reply, and has it ready for you to review and send. Before the lead reaches out to another agent.

> *"Check my inbox for any new lead inquiries. Draft a warm, professional reply to each one. Mention my availability this week based on my calendar."*

### Draft listing emails in seconds

Stop writing the same listing email over and over. Give Runner the property details and let it draft the email in your voice.

> *"Draft a listing announcement email for 42 Oak Street. 3 bed, 2 bath, \$650K, open house this Saturday at 1pm. Professional but warm tone. Include the key selling points."*

Runner drafts the email, you tweak it, and it's ready to send to your list.

### Book showings without the tab shuffle

Runner can take the browser wheel for the repetitive MLS work agents still do manually. It reads showing instructions, fills the forms, and books the appointment. No more juggling between MLS, your calendar, and Follow Up Boss.

> *"Book a showing at 18 Willow Lane for Maya and Luke Rivera tomorrow at 2:30pm. Check showing instructions and confirm side gate access."*

### Keep your calendar straight

Between showings, inspections, closings, and client meetings, your calendar is a jigsaw puzzle. Runner helps you stay on top of it.

> *"What's on my schedule tomorrow? Are there any conflicts? Find a 30-minute window to call the Johnsons about their offer."*

### Follow up before things slip

The deal dies when follow-ups fall through the cracks. Runner tracks what's pending.

> *"Check my sent emails from the last week. Flag any clients or leads who haven't replied. Draft a friendly follow-up for each one."*

### Prep listing launches

Pull everything together for a new listing without starting from scratch. Runner grabs disclosures, comp notes, pricing context, and seller threads into one launch-ready brief.

> *"Prep the listing launch for 18 Willow. Pull seller emails, the comp sheet, and any docs from Google Drive. Give me a launch checklist."*
