Leads you can't call back
A Spanish-language voicemail comes in about your new listing. If you can't return the call with confidence, the buyer calls the next agent on the sign who can.
For real estate agents & brokers
Your next buyer speaks Spanish. So can your phone.
Plenty of great agents aren't Spanish speaking real estate agents, and clients don't always have a bilingual cousin free on a Tuesday afternoon. intelecho lets you call a buyer or seller and talk normally: they hear you in Spanish, and you hear them in English. Use it for showings, offer updates and the dozens of small check-ins between contract and closing.

Where the conversation gets stuck
Offers relayed through family
Counteroffers, inspection credits and earnest money deadlines get passed through a son or niece. You can't tell what was understood, and deadlines slip.
Borrowing a bilingual teammate
Pulling in a colleague to interpret works until they're at their own closing. Your client waits, and a competitive offer loses its window.
Calls you can make today
Real situations, handled by phone
Returning a listing inquiry
A caller left a message in Spanish about your three-bedroom on Elm Street. Call back, ask about budget, preapproval and timing, and book a Saturday showing before the open house crowd.
Presenting a counteroffer
The seller came back at $412,000 and will cover half the closing costs. Walk your buyers through the number and the timeline, answer their questions, and get a decision before the response deadline.
After the inspection
Explain what the inspector flagged, which items you plan to ask the seller to repair or credit, and what happens next. Then email a written summary they can read at their own pace.
Prepping a seller's household
Arrange photo day, lockbox access and showing windows with a seller who speaks Vietnamese or Mandarin, including what to put away and when the family should step out.

How it works
Three steps from this page to a translated call
- 01
Add your client's number
Enter your cell and your client's, choose English for you and Spanish, Mandarin, Vietnamese or Korean for them, and add your name so the introduction makes sense to them.
- 02
intelecho rings you, then them
You answer first. Your client then hears a short introduction in their own language saying their agent is calling on a translated line.
- 03
Talk it through, then confirm in writing
Cover the offer, the showing time or the next step. Follow up with a text or email restating numbers and deadlines, and send contracts through your usual channels.
Get it right
Tips for smoother calls
- Say prices as full numbers, like “four hundred twelve thousand,” instead of shorthand such as “four-twelve.”
- Spell out jargon. “Contingent,” “escrow” and “HOA” translate better with a one-line explanation of what they mean.
- Keep each call to one decision. Free demo calls end after 5 minutes, so save the market overview for email.
- If both buyers are on one speakerphone, ask them to take turns so the translation doesn't blend their voices.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is intelecho a real estate translator service?
Not a human one. intelecho places an AI-translated phone call: you speak English, your client speaks their language, and each of you hears the other translated live. It's a free demo, not a certified interpreter.
Can I use it during a showing?
Yes, as long as both of you have U.S. or Canadian phone numbers. Agents use it to call a buyer who couldn't make the showing, or to reach a seller from the driveway about access.
Will my client know the call is translated?
Yes. When they pick up, they hear a short introduction in their language explaining that it's a translated call, with your name if you add it. Then the two of you just talk.
Can I go over contract terms with it?
You can discuss prices, timelines and next steps, but don't treat it as a translation of the contract. AI translation can make mistakes, so confirm key numbers in writing and have documents explained by a qualified professional.
Which of my clients' languages are supported?
Spanish, Mandarin, Cantonese, Vietnamese, Korean, Tagalog, Arabic, Russian, Gujarati, Punjabi, Hindi and more, 46 languages in all. Indigenous languages such as Mixteco or K'iche' are not supported yet.
