AI Lead Generation for Real Estate Agents in San Diego
Custom AI systems that capture, qualify, and follow up with buyer & seller leads across San Diego County — built by a local dev in Encinitas. No retainer, $100/hr.
What SD agents actually need to know
- Speed-to-lead wins listings. NAR data shows the first agent to respond wins the lead ~78% of the time. AI replies to Zillow, Realtor.com, and IDX form leads in under 60 seconds, 24/7 — even when you're showing a La Jolla property at 9pm.
- Qualification before you pick up the phone. A custom GPT-powered SMS agent asks about timeline, price range, pre-approval, and preferred SD neighborhoods (Carmel Valley, Encinitas, North Park) and drops qualified leads straight into your CRM — Follow Up Boss, kvCORE, Sierra Interactive, or HubSpot.
- Local, not a franchise. SideGuy builds the system you own — no monthly SaaS fee, no $1,500/mo retainer like Ylopo or BoldLeads. Flat $100/hr build, usually 6–15 hours for a full lead-gen stack, then it runs on your Twilio/OpenAI keys.
- Works with what you already pay for. Integrates with Zillow Premier Agent, Realtor.com, Facebook Lead Ads, your IDX site, and open house sign-in sheets. PJ will audit your current stack free before quoting — text 858-461-8054.
