What the phone looks like for a Reading estate agency
Reading and the wider Berkshire has a population of around 350,000, built on technology, professional services and some of the most expensive property outside London. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a estate agency working across Caversham, Earley and Tilehurst most of them arrive at the exact moment nobody can pick up.
Portal enquiries peak at nine in the evening and buyers book the viewing with whoever answers first.
Callwise answers on your own 0118 number. Customers ring the number they already have, it is answered on the first ring by something that sounds like a person, and the job is booked into your diary before the caller has thought about trying anybody else.
When Reading calls go unanswered

Reading estate agencies ask us
Do we keep our 0118 number?
Yes. Your existing 0118 number stays exactly as it is and keeps ringing your phones. Calls only reach the assistant when nobody picks up, or at the hours you choose, so nothing about how Reading customers reach you changes.
Do you work with estate agencies outside Reading?
Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so Reading and everywhere across Berkshire is covered the same way, along with the rest of the UK. The local part is your number and your customers, and both stay yours.
When do our enquiries really come in?
Portal traffic peaks between eight and ten at night and again on Sunday afternoon, which is when almost no agency is answering the phone.
Can it book viewings?
Yes, straight into the diary, with the buyer's position and whether they have a property to sell.
Are valuation calls worth catching?
They are the most valuable call an agency receives. One instruction is worth thousands, and they are usually made in the evening.
Other Reading businesses we answer for
Hear it answer, then decide
Ring it and ask what a Reading customer would ask. It is the same assistant your callers would get, so if it does not convince you on the phone it will not convince them either.
