"Setup" is usually a scary word that stretches into months. How we fit it into three days: day one the portfolio, day two the language, day three the live test.

In most software, “setup” is a process that stretches into months and blurs somewhere between training sessions and data migration. But taking a real-estate office live doesn’t require a giant project — it requires three days placed in the right order. From zero to live takes 3 business days, and each day has one clear job.
The first day is about data. We take the office’s existing portfolio — usually a messy spreadsheet or a few scattered records — and settle it into a single Google Sheets structure. Which column holds the area, which the room count, which the budget: all of it becomes explicit. By the end of the day we have a clean portfolio the system can read as its single source. Do this step properly and the remaining two days feel light.
Every office has a tone: how it greets people, how it names areas (“the coastal side”, “inside a gated complex” — official neighbourhood matching is handled by region intelligence), how much budget flexibility it allows, which questions it leads with. The second day is devoted to tuning the assistant to that tone. Budget tolerance, greeting style and the strictness of the protection shield are fine-tuned to your office. The goal is an assistant that speaks like an extension of your office — not like a generic bot.
On the third day we try the system on real scenarios together with your agents. They write as buyers would, watch the assistant greet, match and set up viewings live; anything that snags is fixed on the spot. This step is more than a technical check — it’s the moment the team builds trust in the system and the final touches land (“have it say this in that case”). By the end of the day, the office is live.
If the timeline sounds short, it’s because the scope is deliberately narrow. Realtiq focuses on one channel (WhatsApp) and one data source (Sheets), so setup involves no “which system do we wire to what?” tangle. Without a forest of integrations, onboarding becomes a three-day preparation instead of a migration project.
Just as important as a fast setup is not being locked in. You can leave whenever you like, and your data is exported on the way out. A system that goes live in three days has no business holding you hostage for years; your portfolio is yours from end to end. Fast entry and a clean exit are two faces of the same design philosophy.

Most offices already keep their portfolio in a spreadsheet. Make that spreadsheet the single source instead of migrating it, and the pain of double entry and stale listings ends at the root.
