AI iMessage Auto-Reply for Realtors on Mac

Keep routine texts moving between appointments

Real estate clients text at the exact moment your attention is on a lockbox, a walkthrough, a call, or the road. Many messages do not need a complete answer right away. They need a clear acknowledgment and a realistic next step.

GhostReply can monitor eligible one-to-one iMessage conversations while it runs on your Mac. It uses the thread's local history and relevant context to generate a short response through Groq, then sends it in Messages. That makes it suitable for low-stakes coordination, but not for facts or commitments that require a licensed professional's judgment.

Start with one active client

Choose One person when a buyer, seller, or lead needs a little coverage during a showing. This keeps every other conversation manual. If you send a message after GhostReply has replied, the one-person session stops and control returns to you.

All-contacts mode can respond across incoming one-to-one chats, but it expands the chance of an inappropriate business reply. Your manual message pauses that contact for 30 minutes while other eligible chats continue. Group chats are skipped.

Requirements and setup for a realtor's Mac

1. Use an awake, internet-connected Mac with Messages signed in to your iMessage account.
2. Install GhostReply in Terminal and grant the terminal app Full Disk Access to read local Messages history.
3. Grant Messages Automation permission so the terminal can send. Contacts access helps identify saved clients.
4. Add your own Groq API key, select one person or all eligible one-to-one chats, and choose the style and delay.

History access, the learned profile, configuration, and statistics stay local on the Mac. Selected conversation samples and relevant context go directly from your Mac to Groq for profile and reply generation. Message content does not pass through GhostReply servers. License validation, trial accounting, and analytics data can reach GhostReply services.

GhostReply only sends while the Mac stays awake, online, and running the app. Closing it stops the session. Follow the complete steps in the Mac iMessage auto-reply setup guide.

Keep regulated and consequential messages manual

Do not allow automatic replies to discuss or imply legal advice, pricing guidance, an offer strategy, agency or representation, fair-housing eligibility, protected characteristics, financing, disclosures, inspection conclusions, contractual terms, signatures, deadlines, or acceptance. A quick acknowledgment is not worth the risk of inventing a fact or creating an unintended commitment.

GhostReply uses heuristic urgent and sensitive checks, but keyword rules can miss context and make mistakes. They are not compliance controls. Review the AI auto-reply safety guide, follow your brokerage's policies, and move the conversation to a human as soon as it becomes material.
