Speed-to-lead for Real Geeks teams
SimonOps answers every new lead with a personal email about the exact home they asked about, written as your agent, in under 5 minutes, day or night. It runs on the lead alerts you already get.
Hi Maria,
About 2209 E 6th St — here's where that one stands. It's a 3-bedroom townhouse listed at $615,000. It does have a private patio, and I'll confirm whether Sunday afternoon works and get back to you shortly. Your move from Chicago is useful to know.
Are you already working with an agent, or would I be your first call?
Real reply to a test alert, sent to a demo team (Lone Star Homes is not a client). Shortened for space.
What we found
A real listing, a one-line question, sent on a Sunday afternoon through each team's own website. Then we waited.
left the buyer more than 18 hours without a reply from a person.
still had no human contact after 42 hours. Only automated emails and listing digests.
replied personally within the hour. It can be done.
I'll send one buyer inquiry through your own website, time every reply that comes back, and send you the timeline. Nothing is installed, nothing changes on your site, and you don't have to talk to me to get it.
Anonymized, and disclosed to the teams I reached out to.
What it does
Reads your lead alert, finds the listing they asked about by MLS number or address, and replies about that home, not a generic "thanks for your interest".
Sunday at 9pm or Tuesday at 2am. Plain-text email, written as the agent the lead was assigned to, so it reads like a person and lands where buyers actually look.
The price and the bedroom count are copied from your own listing sheet, word for word. Anything that isn't in it — the garage, the schools, whether a time works — it names and leaves for your agent to confirm.
One easy qualifying question the lead hasn't already answered. Every lead is logged with exactly how many seconds it took to reply.
Optional add-ons as they launch. Founding teams get first access.
When a lead looks ready to move, pre-approved or a high budget, the assigned agent gets a heads-up right away.
If the buyer goes quiet, a short follow-up a day or two later. It stops the moment your agent takes over.
Every week: how many leads came in, how fast each one was answered, and which ones went quiet.
How it works
Your Real Geeks lead alerts get one extra recipient. Your agents keep getting them exactly as today. No logins, no passwords, nothing on your site.
For three days, every reply comes to you instead of your leads. You see exactly what would have gone out, and when. Not a single lead is contacted.
When you're happy with the replies, they start going to your leads. If anything ever stops, your alerts keep reaching your agents as before.
The 72-hour test
For three days it runs on your real alerts and your real listings, but every reply lands in your inbox instead of your lead's. You judge it on your own leads, not on a demo.
If a lead ever sits unanswered for 10 minutes, or any step fails, I get an alert on my phone. If something breaks, I know before you do.
Hi Maria,
About 2209 E 6th St — here's where that one stands. It's a 3-bedroom townhouse listed at $615,000. It does have a private patio, and I'll come back to you first thing tomorrow morning about Sunday afternoon. Your move from Chicago is useful to know.

Alternatives
Most teams already have something. Here's where each one fits.
Instant, but usually generic: a thank-you, not an answer about the home they asked about.
Good at a quick text. Keep it. A text and a real email about the home work well together.
Great during their shift. Nights and weekends are usually where the gaps are.
About the exact home, written as your agent, in under 5 minutes, at any hour. Flat monthly fee.
Pricing
Same fee whether you get 40 leads or 400. No per-lead charges, no cut of your commissions. One extra closing a year more than covers it.
No contract. You watch it run on your own leads for 72 hours before you pay anything. After that it is month to month: no setup fee, no per-lead charges, and you can stop whenever you want.
Who's behind SimonOps
I'm Simon, and I run SimonOps from Italy. That puts me six hours ahead of the East Coast, so the hours when your leads arrive with nobody watching are the middle of my working day. If something breaks at 2am your time, I'm awake for it.
I started this after testing real teams and watching paid leads sit for days. I set every team up myself and watch the first weeks closely. After that it runs on its own and I step in when it needs me — you're buying a system, not a night shift.
Questions
It writes a short, plain-text email in first person as the assigned agent, about the home the buyer asked about. You approve real examples during the 72-hour test before anything reaches a lead.
Yes. The writing is done by AI; the facts (which home, which agent, what time it is for your team) are decided by code, not by the AI. If a buyer asks whether they're talking to a bot, it never pretends otherwise.
It names what the buyer asked and says you'll confirm it. The price and the bedroom count are copied from your listing sheet rather than written by the AI, so they're either right or absent. Your agent picks up a conversation that's already started.
It's built for Real Geeks lead alerts. If your platform sends lead alert emails too, we check it together on the call.
It does one job: the first email, about the exact home, in under 5 minutes. Most teams keep their texting and let their agents set the showing. They work well together.
I never read it. You forward your lead alerts to one address I give you, and nothing of yours is searched, opened or deleted. To make the reply come from your own address I ask you to connect your Google account with send-only permission: Google names that permission on the consent screen, it cannot read a single message, and you can revoke it in seconds from your account. I never ask for a password.
Me, Simon. I build it and run it myself, from Italy — there's no support queue between you and the person who wrote it. Which is also why I don't ask you to take my word for any of this: you watch it run on your own alerts for 72 hours before you pay, and you can stop any month.
Your leads' data is used only to answer your own leads. It's never sold, shared or used to train models, and it's deleted within 30 days after you stop. Details in the privacy policy.
$397 a month, flat, for founding teams, locked for 12 months. No setup fee and no per-lead charges. Month-to-month after the first month. New features like follow-ups launch as optional add-ons: you only pay for them if you want them.
Find out in 48 hours. I'll test your team and send you the timeline, no call required.
