The Zillow lead goes cold
before you're out of the showing.
16Fold is the drafting layer for real estate agents, teams, and property managers. A portal lead lands mid-showing, the sphere goes quiet between deals, an owner statement runs late: 16Fold drafts the reply, the nurture touch, and the update the moment each is due, and holds every one for your approval.
From $799/mo — a fraction of one hire. No salary, no onboarding, no PTO to cover.
Zillow inquiry — 9:47 PM, 118 Cattail Ridge
"Hi Marcus, thanks for reaching out about 118 Cattail Ridge! It's a 3-bed, 2-bath on a quiet cul-de-sac near the greenway, listed at $412,000. I'd love to get you in for a private showing. Does Thursday evening or Saturday morning work better?"

Minutes
from portal lead to a drafted reply, in fair-housing-safe wording, ready for your review
Every milestone
under contract to clear-to-close, drafted without a call
Every draft
held for your approval before anything sends
01
Portal leads & sign calls
Zillow, Realtor.com, website inquiries, and missed sign-call voicemails all turn into a drafted reply within minutes, written to fair-housing-safe patterns in your own voice, for you to review.
02
Sphere & past-client nurture
Your sphere and past clients stop hearing from you the moment you get busy. 16Fold keeps anniversary notes, market updates, and re-engagement touches drafted on a real cadence, not a good intention.
03
Owners, tenants & milestones
For property managers, the deadlines are the job: owner statements, tenant notices, lease-renewal outreach, and transaction milestones get drafted before one turns into a vacancy.
The busywork we draft off your plate.
The repetitive work a system can do — drafted and waiting for your yes, so your hours go to the customer instead.
- Listing marketing, drafted per propertyJust-listed and just-sold posts, the email blast, the single-property page copy. Written in your voice, sitting in the queue for your yes.
- Open-house follow-upEveryone who signed the sheet gets a next-day note drafted, with the ready-to-move ones flagged for you first.
- Showing feedback, chasedA feedback note to each buyer's agent after a showing gets drafted for you to send, with a follow-up draft ready if they go quiet, so your seller update isn't empty.
- Google reviews after closingOnce the keys change hands, a review request drafts for your Google Business Profile, and the reviews that land come back with a drafted response.
- Lead-source spend tracedEvery portal and paid lead's real cost tracked, so you can see which spend actually turns into appointments and which just quietly bleeds.
- Farm-area listing watchNew listings, price cuts, and days-on-market across your farm, distilled into one weekly brief instead of forty open browser tabs.
- Tenant request acknowledgmentsA maintenance message or tenant question gets an acknowledgment drafted into your PM queue. Nothing goes back without your review.

From $799/mo
16Fold starts at $799/mo — a fraction of one hire. Your MLS, CRM, and PM software stay the system of record.
The questions real estate & property owners ask first
Does 16Fold answer my phone or reply to leads on its own?
No — it drafts the reply. 16Fold writes the first-touch response to a portal lead using fair-housing-safe wording patterns within minutes, then holds it for your approval. It doesn't take live calls, and nothing sends until you say so.
Who actually has to approve everything, and how much time does that take?
You do, or whoever on your team you designate. Every draft, from a portal reply to an owner statement, queues into one approval pass you can batch from your phone between showings — not a live-monitoring job.
Does this replace my MLS, CRM, or property management software?
No. Follow Up Boss, BoldTrail, AppFolio, Buildium, whatever you already run stays the record of your leads, listings, and units. 16Fold drafts the communication that's supposed to happen around it — it doesn't touch your listings or your books.
Leave the phone in the car during the showing.
Take the Saturday. Go properly off-radar on vacation. Come back to a queue of drafts waiting on one approval pass, not a week of cold leads and a quiet database.
