Today I completed my Real Estate AI Voice Agent system. This started as a voice-agent experiment, but I wanted to take it beyond simply answering calls. I also built a dedicated real estate website around the system to demonstrate the complete experience. Live website / demo: https://kimberly-dalton.vercel.app/ The system now connects the conversation to the actual business workflow: • Lead capture & qualification • Property search & details • Appointment availability & booking • Rescheduling & cancellations • Lead updates & status tracking • Property details delivery • Follow-up automation • Agent notifications • Human handoff • Call outcome tracking • Confirmation workflows Built with Retell AI + n8n + webhooks + CRM/database + calendar automation. The biggest lesson from this build: A voice agent is only one part of the system. The real value comes from what happens after the conversation — when the AI can understand, make decisions, take actions, update the business system, and know when a human needs to step in. Day 34 — from AI that talks to an AI system that actually takes action. Next step: stress-testing the system with messy real-world conversations and edge cases. #AI #VoiceAI #RealEstateAI #AIAutomation #AIAgents #n8n #RetellAI #CRM #Automation #BuildInPublic #Day34

I’m looking for some guidance on how to minimize my Retell costs while maintaining good voice-agent quality. Specifically, what would be the recommended settings for LLM/model, knowledge base, voice/TTS, and other configurations to keep the cost per minute as low as possible without significantly affecting the user experience? Would appreciate any practical tips from those already running Retell agents in production.

Hi folks, I’m trying to understand the best setup for building AI voice agents with Retell. For those already using Retell + n8n + Claude Code: Can Claude Code replace most of what we’d normally use n8n for, or is it better to use both? Also, for a new agency, would you recommend starting with HubSpot Free + n8n + Retell, or is there a simpler/cheaper stack you’d suggest? Would love to hear how you’re actually using these tools in production.

For those already working in the AI voice-agent space, which outreach platforms or channels are giving you the best results? I’m considering cold email, Facebook groups, Insta, LinkedIn and direct outreach to local businesses. Which ones would you prioritize when starting out? Also, if targeting the US market, which state(s) would you recommend targeting first for AI voice agents, and why? I’d especially like to know which states have strong demand and a good concentration of small/service-based businesses.

For those already selling AI voice agents with Retell, what pricing model are you using with clients? Do you charge: - A one-time setup fee + monthly management fee? - Per-minute usage + your markup? - A fixed monthly package with included minutes? - Or a combination of these? I’m trying to figure out what pricing model makes the most sense for an agency while covering Retell usage costs and still keeping a healthy margin.
