Most follow-up in real estate runs on a schedule. Call on day 1. Send an email on day 3. Call again on day 7. The timing is arbitrary — it's based on what feels professional, not on what the buyer is actually doing.
Intent-based follow-up is different. You call when behavior signals readiness. A buyer who returns to the project page three times in two days is not the same as a buyer who opened one email six weeks ago. Your outreach shouldn't treat them the same way.

The signal doesn't have to be complicated. A return visit. A floor plan opened on a weekend. A second look at the pricing page. Each of these is a quiet indication that a buyer is in an active consideration phase.
The agents who catch these signals close faster because they're calling at the moment of maximum interest — not at a predetermined interval that may have nothing to do with where the buyer is in their decision process.

Timing in sales has always mattered. The difference now is that you don't have to guess. The data tells you when.
