Can a real estate chatbot text leads after they leave your site?

Yes, if the visitor gave you their number and agreed to be contacted. A chatbot that collects a phone number during the conversation can continue by text: sending the listings they asked about, confirming a showing, or checking back a few days later. Most visitors never return to a website twice, so moving the thread to their phone is what keeps it alive.

Consent is not optional. Text outreach is governed by rules that require permission and an easy way to opt out, and penalties for ignoring them are real. Ask for the number plainly, log the consent, honor stop requests immediately, and keep the message volume low enough that your team looks helpful rather than automated.
