Challenge
Struggling with inefficient manual email outreach processes that were slowing growth and increasing operational costs. Their primary concern was lead response time.

The challenge

With a growing prospect database of 10,000+ contacts, this commercial real estate company couldn't scale their real estate email outreach without sacrificing quality. Their team of 15-75 agents was managing outreach campaigns across multiple segments, but the manual process created constant bottlenecks. Campaigns took weeks to plan, write, segment, and execute — by which time the market moment had often passed. Follow-up sequences were the biggest gap. Only 23% of prospects received a second touchpoint within the first week, and multi-step nurture campaigns were practically non-existent. The team tracked engagement in spreadsheets, leading to duplicate sends, missed follow-ups, and embarrassing errors like emailing prospects who had already converted. In the real estate space, where relationships and timing matter enormously, this lack of systematic outreach was costing them an estimated $200K in annual pipeline.

The solution

Arahi AI provided the automation backbone this real estate team needed. They deployed a multi-agent workflow that breaks the email outreach process into discrete, automated steps — each handled by a specialized AI agent. The first agent monitors triggers from MLS and HubSpot. The second agent analyzes and processes incoming requests using real estate-specific business logic. The third agent executes actions across connected tools and notifies team members via Gmail. The beauty of the no-code approach was speed of implementation. The team had their first agent live within 90 minutes, and the full email outreach workflow was operational within a single afternoon. They used Arahi AI's template for real estate email outreach as a starting point, customized the business rules to match their specific process, and connected their existing tool stack without writing a single line of code. Within the first week, the agents had processed over 200 email outreach instances with high accuracy — more than the team typically handled in a month.

Implementation

3 AI agents deployed in Half a day.

Tools connected

  • MLS
  • Zillow
  • Follow Up Boss
  • HubSpot
  • DocuSign
  1. Mapped the existing email outreach workflow

    Documented every step of the current manual email outreach process, including decision points, exceptions, and handoffs between team members. Identified which steps could be fully automated versus those needing human oversight.

  2. Built the automation in Arahi AI

    Used Arahi AI's no-code builder to create the email outreach workflow: connected MLS and Follow Up Boss as data sources, configured AI decision logic for real estate-specific requirements, and set up automated actions and notifications.

  3. Parallel run with manual process

    Ran the AI agents alongside the manual process for one week to compare outputs. The AI matched or exceeded human accuracy on the vast majority of email outreach instances, with edge cases automatically flagged for human review.
