How It Works Features Pricing Sign In Try a Demo Español
Built for Texas agents, PMs, and STR hosts

Showings, leases, and stays
don’t keep business hours.

Roughly half of homebuyers go with the first agent who calls back. Tenants don’t wait until 9am when the AC dies. Vacation guests review the no-answer. Relay answers every call, books showings on your live calendar, triages tenant emergencies, and lands a flagged-urgent summary in your inbox the moment a guest needs help, in English, Spanish, or 26 other languages. (Real-time SMS or PagerDuty paging? One Zap away.)

Three live demo lines below, one for each role. Call any of them right now. No signup, no commitment.

A Texas Hill Country home with a for-sale sign, a lockbox, and a phone glowing softly, Relay catches every call

Built around how real estate actually works.

Your phone doesn’t ring 9-to-5 and neither does Relay.

After-hours coverage

7pm buyer inquiry, 11pm tenant lockout, holiday-weekend guest with a door-code problem. Relay picks up. Same voice, same routing, same summary in your inbox.

English, Spanish, or 26 more, no menu

Caller switches to Spanish? Vacation guest dialing from Mexico City or Munich? Relay mirrors them mid-sentence, no “press 2 for Spanish.”

Showings & service windows booked live

When a buyer wants Saturday at 2, Relay checks your Google Calendar and books it before they hang up. Same for maintenance windows and check-in coordination.

Urgency triage

Burst pipe at a rental? Late check-in stuck at the lockbox? Cash buyer ready to write today? Relay tags it urgent and rings your phone right now.

Live now

Three roles. Three real receptionists.

Each number below answers as a different made-up Central Texas business, same Relay platform, configured for that role. Call from your phone right now and ask anything a real buyer, tenant, or guest would: pricing, availability, applications, door codes, who’s coming and when. Scroll down to the sample call to see the exact email that lands in the owner’s inbox.

Sample call

Not sure what to say? Here’s how a buyer lead lands.

Dial one of the numbers above and talk like you’d talk to a real receptionist, ask about a listing, request a showing, push back on price, switch to Spanish mid-sentence. The script below is a realistic example using the agent line, (737) 205-1573, with a Zillow lead booking a Saturday showing. The other demos follow the same pattern, just for property managers and short-term rental hosts.

Ava (Relay)
Thanks for calling Hill Country Homes Realty, this is Ava. How can I help?
You
Hi, I saw your listing on Zillow, the one on Cedar Spring in Pflugerville. Is it still available?
Ava (Relay)
8205 Cedar Spring? Yes, it’s still active, four-bed three-bath, list price $529K, just hit the market Thursday. Are you working with a buyer’s agent already, or would you like one of ours to walk you through it?
You
Not working with anyone yet. Can we see it Saturday afternoon? My wife and I are relocating from Houston, this weekend is the only window we have.
Ava (Relay)
Saturday works. Maria has 1pm and 2:30pm open, which one fits you better?
You
2:30 is perfect.
Ava (Relay)
Booked, Saturday at 2:30pm with Maria at 8205 Cedar Spring Drive. Can I grab your name and the best number to confirm?
You
David Ortiz, 713-555-0142. Y una pregunta, ¿saben si el vendedor estaría abierto a una oferta en efectivo con cierre rápido?
Ava (Relay), switched to Spanish
Buena pregunta, David. Esa información la maneja Maria directamente con el vendedor, ella le puede dar más detalles en la cita del sábado. Le tengo apuntada la visita, le mando un correo de confirmación si me da su email.
You
Sí, david.ortiz@example.com. Gracias.

Things worth trying on the demo lines

1
Book a showing live

“Can we see the Cedar Spring listing Saturday at 2?” Watch Relay check the calendar and lock the slot before you hang up.

2
Throw an urgent maintenance scenario

Call the PM line: “My ceiling is leaking right now.” Relay tags it urgent and sends a flagged-urgent email summary in seconds. (With a Zapier urgent-call trigger wired up, it texts or pages the on-call manager too.)

3
Switch to Spanish mid-call

Start in English, then say “espera, prefiero hablar en español.” Relay mirrors you without prompting.

4
Ask the STR line for the door code

“The keypad isn’t working at the Fredericksburg cabin.” Relay verifies the booking and routes to the host immediately.

5
Push back on price

“Will the seller take $510?” Relay doesn’t negotiate; it captures the request and lets the agent respond. No accidental commitments.

6
Just hang up

Mid-sentence, even. Receptionist Mode is built for real-world calls, interruptions, background noise, half-finished thoughts. It still produces a clean summary.

After the call

Email’s the floor. Here’s the ceiling.

An email summary is fine for tomorrow’s follow-up. For the 11pm “I’m locked out of the cabin” call, Relay does more, books the appointment live, pushes it into your CRM or PMS, and rings your actual phone so you don’t have to be near an inbox to catch the lead.

For urgent calls

Make your phone ring the second an urgent call ends.

Relay’s Zapier app fires the moment a call wraps. Connect it to any of these in 30 seconds, pick the one that matches how you actually want to be interrupted.

Available on every plan. Zapier free tier covers 100 tasks/month, plenty for most solo agents and small PM shops.

Text message

SMS by Zapier

Instant SMS to your cell on every urgent call. Built into Zapier, no extra account, no Twilio setup, just enter your number once. Best for “I want to know but I don’t need it to wake the dog.”

US and UK mobile numbers; not supported on T-Mobile recipients.

Most popular

Push notification with custom alarm

Pushover

A push alert with your choice of siren, persistent, or emergency sound, bypasses Do Not Disturb, repeats until you acknowledge. The kind of alert that gets you out of bed at 2am for a flooded rental.

$5 one-time per platform (iOS or Android). One of the most reliable on-call alerting apps.

Booked live, on your calendar

When a buyer wants Saturday at 2, or a tenant needs a Tuesday maintenance window, Relay checks your Google Calendar in real time and books the slot, before they hang up. No phone-tag, no double-bookings.

Logged in your CRM or PMS

Native HubSpot sync on the Business plan; Follow Up Boss, KW Command, Buildium, AppFolio, Guesty, and Hospitable all pipe in through Zapier. Every call becomes a Contact + Note + Opportunity automatically.

Wherever else you live

Slack DM to your transaction coordinator, Discord ping to your STR co-host, Google Sheets lead log, Notion entry, Microsoft Teams message, Zapier connects 6,000+ apps. Calls land in whatever tool your team actually uses.

Keep your number

Already have a number? Use Relay as your safety net.

Keep the business number on every yard sign, business card, Zillow profile, and Airbnb listing. Set your phone to forward to Relay only when you don’t answer, or only after hours. Callers still dial the same number; the ones you can’t catch get a professional receptionist instead of voicemail.

Verizon Wireless

Star-code reliable for “forward everything.” Conditional forwarding runs through the My Verizon app.

1

Forward only when you don’t answer

Verizon doesn’t expose a star code for no-answer forwarding on most consumer plans. Set it up in the My Verizon app:

  1. Open My Verizon → tap Account → tap your line.
  2. Choose Manage Device → Call Forwarding.
  3. Toggle on No Answer Transfer (and/or Busy Transfer).
  4. Enter your Relay number as the destination. Set the ring duration (typically 15–25 seconds before forward).
2

Forward every call (after hours, weekends, vacation)

From your Verizon phone’s dialer, type:

*72 + 1-512-XXX-XXXX → press Call

Use your full 11-digit Relay number (the one you provisioned in the Relay dashboard). You’ll hear a confirmation tone, that’s it. All incoming calls now go to Relay until you turn it off.

Turn it off

Dial *73 and press Call to cancel “forward all.” For conditional forwarding set in the app, toggle it off in the same screen where you turned it on.

Codes shown are for US wireless lines as of 2026 and apply to most consumer/SMB postpaid plans. For business landlines, VoIP, or PBX systems, your provider’s web portal usually has the same options under Call Forwarding. If a code doesn’t work on your plan, your carrier’s support line can enable forwarding remotely in under a minute.

Local context

Why this matters more here than anywhere else.

Central Texas added 53,000+ residents in the last year alone. Every relocating family is shopping multiple agents at once, the one who picks up first usually wins the buyer rep. Rentals turn over in days. STR demand swings with Formula 1, ACL, SXSW, and football weekends.

And roughly one in three of those callers is more comfortable in Spanish. A solo agent or one-person PM shop without Spanish coverage loses half of them to voicemail every week.

Less than a single commission split.

Solo at $19.99/mo covers a one-agent practice or a small STR portfolio. Team at $64.99/mo covers a growing brokerage or a PM shop with three lines. A single saved listing pays for the year, several times over.
