What the phone looks like for a Southampton letting agency
Southampton and the wider Hampshire has a population of around 900,000, built on maritime, logistics and marine trades. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a letting agency working across Portswood, Bitterne and Shirley most of them arrive at the exact moment nobody can pick up.
Rental applicants ring five agents in an hour and view with whoever answered, because good properties go in days.
Callwise answers on your own 023 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.

Southampton letting agencies ask us
Do we keep our 023 number?
Yes. Your existing 023 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 Southampton customers reach you changes.
Do you work with letting agencies outside Southampton?
Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so Southampton and everywhere across Hampshire 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.
Can it log maintenance calls?
Yes, with the property, the tenant and the fault, which is most of your out of hours burden handled without a person.
What about an emergency at midnight?
Floods, no heat and anything on your list reach your on call contact immediately. Everything else waits for the morning with a full record.
Are landlord enquiries handled differently?
They should be, and they are. A landlord asking about management is a lead, not a query, and it goes to you as one.
Other Southampton businesses we answer for
Hear it answer, then decide
Ring it and ask what a Southampton 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.
