TL;DR (Answer First)

Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) and international buyers are a massive market for Indian real estate—but most firms lose them due to language barriers, time zones, and lack of 24/7 support. Ellis Monroe, the AI Website Assistant from AppEQ.ai, solves this by engaging visitors in multiple languages, instantly qualifying them, and auto-booking property visits or virtual calls. With Ellis, real estate firms can confidently capture NRI and global demand without adding extra staff.

The NRI & Global Buyer Opportunity

NRIs invest $13+ billion annually into Indian real estate (NAR India, 2024).
Buyers from the US, UK, UAE, Singapore, and Canada form the bulk of this demand.
Barriers: Time zone differences, lack of multilingual support, and slow follow-up.
Result: Missed opportunities to convert high-value buyers.

💡 Forbes reports that international buyers prefer developers who offer native-language communication and quick responses.

The Challenge: Serving Global Buyers

Limited Language Options: Most real estate websites only offer English.
Missed Time Zones: Overseas buyers often inquire outside IST office hours.
Manual Bottlenecks: Sales reps can’t engage buyers instantly or in their preferred language.
