Nita

Hi there! Thanks for calling Demo Lettings. I'm Nita, the AI receptionist — how can I help you today?

Caller

Hi Nita. I'm looking for a two-bedroom property around Reading to rent. Do you have any available?

Nita

Let me check what we've got available in Reading for you. Great — we've got two two-bedroom properties: 18 Birch Close, a terraced house with a garden and parking; and 47 Garden Mews Flat 1, a furnished flat. Would you like to know more about either, or shall we book a viewing?

Caller

Yes — can I book a viewing for the first one, please?

Nita

Brilliant. Let me get the details sorted for you. What date would suit you best, and what time would you prefer?

Caller

Probably next Wednesday at ten o'clock.

Nita

Perfect — next Wednesday at 10 o'clock. Could I grab your full name, first and last please?

Caller

Yes, it's Martin Smith.

Nita

Thanks, Martin. And could I get an email address for you?

Caller

It's martin.smith at gmail dot com.

Nita

Lovely. So that's Martin Smith, 18 Birch Close for next Wednesday at 10 o'clock — shall I book it?

Caller

Yes, please.

Nita

I'll book that viewing for you now. Booked — Wednesday 19 May at 10 o'clock at 18 Birch Close. You'll get a confirmation email shortly. Thanks for calling Demo Lettings, Martin. Have a good day!

Caller

You too. Thank you. Bye bye.

Nita

Cheers, Martin. Bye!

Nita

Hi there! Thanks for calling Demo Lettings. I'm Nita, the AI receptionist — how can I help you today?

Caller

Hi — I'm a tenant at 92 Elm Drive, and I'd like to report a maintenance issue, please.

Nita

Of course, I can help with that. Let me get some details so I can log it properly. What's the issue you need to report?

Caller

The kitchen tap is leaking badly.

Nita

Right, a leaky kitchen tap — I'll get that logged for you. Just to confirm, is the property 92 Elm Drive? And how urgent would you say it is — is water pooling, or just dripping slowly?

Caller

Yes, it's 92 Elm Drive. And it's quite bad — water's dripping onto the cabinet.

Nita

Got it — water's dripping onto the cabinet, so that needs sorting soon. Let me log this as a medium priority maintenance issue for you. Done — I've logged a medium priority maintenance issue for the leaky kitchen tap at 92 Elm Drive. Our team will be in touch shortly to arrange a fix. Is there anything else I can help with?

Caller

No, thank you.

Nita

You're welcome. Thanks for calling Demo Lettings. Have a good day!

Caller

Bye.

Nita

Bye!

Nita

Hi there! Thanks for calling Demo Lettings. I'm Nita, the AI receptionist — how can I help you today?

Caller

Hi, I'm Daniel Harris at 108 High Street. Can I request permission for a German Shepherd puppy, please?

Nita

Hi Daniel, great to hear from you. Just to clarify — you're looking to get a German Shepherd as a pet at your property, is that right? Before I log that for you, can I confirm: you're a current tenant with us at 108 High Street? And just to double-check — German Shepherd, and is it a puppy or an adult?

Caller

Yes, it's a puppy — a German Shepherd puppy. And yes, I'm the tenant.

Nita

Perfect, Daniel. Let me log that for you right away.

Nita

All done, Daniel. I've logged your request for a German Shepherd puppy. Under the Renters' Rights Act, your landlord has 28 days to respond, and we'll let you know what they say. Is there anything else I can help with?

Caller

No, that was all. Thank you so much.

Nita

You're welcome, Daniel. Thanks for calling Demo Lettings. Have a good day!

Caller

Bye bye.

Nita

Bye!

Nita

Hi there! Thanks for calling Demo Lettings. I'm Nita, the AI receptionist — how can I help you today?

Caller

Hi, I'm John Smith, one of your landlords. You manage a few of my properties — I'm just wondering if I can get an update. Everything going alright this month, or is there an issue?

Nita

Hi John, great to hear from you. Let me pull up your portfolio summary so I can give you the full picture on how things are looking across your properties.

Nita

Perfect, John. So you've got 4 properties with us, 3 of them are occupied at the moment. Your expected monthly rent is £4,400, and the good news is everything's running smoothly — no outstanding issues or arrears to worry about. All looking good this month. Is there anything specific you'd like to know about any of the properties?

Caller

Is there any open maintenance issue?

Nita

No, there aren't any open maintenance issues across your portfolio at the moment, John. Everything's clear on that front. Is there anything else I can help you with today?

Caller

No, that was all. Thank you so much.

Nita

You're welcome, John! Thanks for calling Demo Lettings. Have a good day.

Caller

Bye.

The Cost of a Missed Call

Every unanswered ring is a lead that called a competitor next — or a tenant who'll remember the silence on their next renewal.

37%

of calls to letting agents go unanswered — every one of them a missed lead or a frustrated tenant.

62%

of enquiries arrive outside office hours, when a human receptionist costs you double or triple.

£18k+

the average annual cost of a full-time receptionist in the UK — before sick leave and turnover.

How It Works

From Call to Booked Viewing in Under Two Minutes

No menu trees. No keypad mashing. No scripts. Just a human-feeling conversation that ends with the caller's problem solved.

01

Caller dials your normal number

No new phone numbers to print on business cards, no porting your main line. Nita sits behind your existing Twilio or forwarded UK number. During office hours, your team rings as always — Nita steps in only when needed.

02

Nita answers in natural British English

Warm, friendly, and never robotic. She greets callers using your agency's trading name, asks how she can help, and understands natural phrases — no scripts, no menus, no key-presses.

03

She books, logs, triages — in real time

Viewings get booked straight into your LettingGuru calendar. Maintenance requests turn into tickets with the right priority. Messages route to the right branch. Emergencies get warm-transferred to your on-call number.

What Nita Can Do

Nine Tools, One AI, Built Into Your Agency Software

Nita isn't a bolt-on dialler. She sits on top of your LettingGuru database, so every action she takes updates the same records your team uses.

Book Viewings Automatically

Nita checks the property's availability, suggests slots that fit the caller's preference, confirms the applicant's full name + phone + email, and creates the viewing in LettingGuru. The tenant and negotiator both get confirmation emails — no human touch required.

Log Maintenance With Priority

Detects emergency keywords (no heating in winter, water leak, electrical fault, lock failure) and flags them as URGENT. Asks the right diagnostic questions, captures the tenant and property, creates a ticket, and notifies the duty contractor.

Warm Transfer to a Human

If the caller insists on speaking to a person, or the situation is too complex, Nita does a proper handover — she summarises the call, pulls up the property or tenant file, and rings your on-call number. The human picks up already briefed.

Take Messages With Context

For everything that can wait, Nita takes a message with caller name, property reference, reason, best callback time — all delivered to the right branch inbox with a full transcript and recording attached.

Look Up Existing Tenants

If the caller is already a tenant in your system, Nita recognises them by phone number and personalises the conversation — no more 'I've told you three times which property I'm in'.

Full Call Analytics

Every call is logged with transcript, sentiment, intent classification, duration, and cost. Dashboard shows call volume by hour, top reasons for calling, and conversion from enquiry to booked viewing.

Real Scenarios

Where Nita Earns Her Keep

Every letting agency has the same four gaps. Nita closes all of them.

After hours & weekends

It's 8:47 PM on a Thursday. A prospective tenant just found your listing on Rightmove and wants to book a viewing for Saturday. Your team packed up four hours ago. Nita answers on the second ring, checks the property's Saturday slots, and books the viewing. The next morning your negotiator sees the booking with a full transcript.

Busy mornings & call overflow

Monday 9:15 AM. Seven calls hit at once. Two of your three negotiators are already on the line. Instead of voicemail-purgatory, Nita picks up the overflow, handles three maintenance logs and two viewing requests, and only warm-transfers the one call that really needs a human.

Holidays, sickness & staff turnover

Your receptionist is on maternity leave. The agency temp you hired called in sick. Normally this would mean a day of missed calls. With Nita, coverage is identical to your best day — and she doesn't need training or a handover.

Multi-branch agencies

Running three branches across Birmingham, Leeds, and Manchester? Nita knows which branch the caller is reaching based on the dialed number, greets them with the right branch name, and routes messages to the right team inbox.

Personality

Choose a Voice That Matches Your Brand

Four British English voices, three tone presets (Friendly / Professional / Efficient), and your agency's trading name baked into every greeting.

Willa

Warm, friendly, British female — our default.

Dorothy

Calm, measured, reassuring.

Amy

Upbeat, energetic, great for high-end lettings.

Maren

Professional, crisp, ideal for corporate lets.

FAQ

Questions Letting Agents Ask About Nita

The ones we hear most often on demo calls.

Can Nita really understand UK accents?

+
Yes. Nita is built on the Retell voice platform using ElevenLabs British English voices and Anthropic Claude for understanding. It handles regional UK accents — Scouse, Geordie, Cockney, Welsh, Scottish — significantly better than US-first voice agents. If she ever misunderstands, she'll ask politely for clarification rather than plough on.

What happens in a real emergency — like a gas leak or a flood?

+
Nita has an emergency keyword engine that listens for phrases like 'gas smell', 'water coming through ceiling', 'no heating' (flagged seasonally), 'electrical shock', 'break-in', and 'lock won't open at night'. When detected, she confirms the tenant's location, gives immediate safety guidance, and warm-transfers the call to your on-call number — simultaneously creating a ticket flagged URGENT.

Is it GDPR compliant?

+
Yes. Callers are told at the start that the call is being handled by an AI assistant and that it may be recorded for training and quality purposes. Recordings are encrypted at rest on our UK-region storage, auto-delete after your configured retention window (default 30 days), and are never used to train third-party models. You can set retention to 0 days to skip recording entirely.

How does billing work?

+
£79/month includes 100 minutes of AI conversation time. Minutes only accumulate while Nita is actually speaking to a caller — ringing and dead air don't count. Overage is £0.40 per minute, billed monthly. No setup fees, no long-term contract, cancel anytime. If you need more, we offer bundles from 250 min up to 2000 min with lower per-minute rates.

Can I use my existing phone number?

+
Yes. You have two options: (1) we provision a new UK Twilio number (£2/month) that you forward your existing line to after hours, or (2) we can configure a condition-based redirect on your existing line — ring your team first, then Nita if no-one answers within N seconds. Both setups take under 10 minutes.

How long does setup take?

+
For pilot agencies, typically 1-3 business days — the wait is almost entirely for Twilio's UK regulatory bundle approval (a one-off identity check that UK telecoms operators are legally required to run). Once that's approved, we provision the number, link it to your LettingGuru agency, and you choose Nita's voice and personality in the dashboard. First call live within the hour.

Can Nita handle calls in languages other than English?

+
Not yet — Nita is English-only at launch, tuned specifically for UK usage. Multi-language support (Welsh, Polish, Urdu, Punjabi — the most common non-English languages spoken by UK renters) is on our 2026 roadmap.

What if Nita gets something wrong?

+
Every call is recorded and transcribed. If a viewing gets booked at the wrong time or a maintenance ticket gets the wrong priority, you can see exactly what was said, correct it in one click, and the correction feeds back into Nita's behaviour for future calls. Over the first 30 days, most agencies tell us accuracy on booked viewings is 97%+.

Is this replacing my receptionist?

+
Up to you. Most agencies use Nita as overflow and after-hours cover — their human receptionist handles the complex cases during the day, and Nita picks up everything else. The agencies that do replace their receptionist tell us they redirect that salary into growth roles (negotiators, property managers) and actually answer more calls than before.

Does it integrate with LettingGuru only, or with other CRMs too?

+
Nita is a native part of LettingGuru — she reads from and writes into the same database your team uses daily. That deep integration is why she can check real-time availability, book straight into your calendar, and recognise returning tenants. If you're on a different CRM, you'd need to move to LettingGuru to use Nita.
