For estate agents, developers and property managers · Ethiopia

Stop losing buyers between the listing and the viewing.Give every property enquiry an agent.EliteTeQ Inbox for estate agents, developers and property managers in Ethiopia

A buyer messages about the 3-bedroom on your Instagram, asks for the price and location, and waits. By the time someone checks the office phone, they have booked a viewing with another agency.

EliteTeQ Inbox puts every property enquiry from WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram in one shared inbox. Each buyer or tenant is assigned to an agent, sits on a pipeline from enquiry to viewing to offer, and the ads that brought them are recorded. Staff in Addis Ababa and Adama or anywhere else answer from one +251 business number, with office hours on Addis Ababa time (EAT).

Sound familiar? What real estate teams in Ethiopia tell us

  1. Our listings go out on Instagram and Facebook, and the questions land on five different agents’ phones.

    EliteTeQ Inbox

    Comments screen with Facebook and Instagram comments waiting for an answer, the post they belong to, and a public or private reply box

    Comments and DMs on your listings arrive in the same inbox as WhatsApp. Each enquiry is assigned to one agent, automatically or by hand.

  2. A buyer asked for a viewing on Saturday. Nobody confirmed, and they went with another agency.

    EliteTeQ Inbox

    Pipeline filtered to hot leads, with reasons like New from an ad and Waiting for your reply

    Every buyer sits on the pipeline. “Viewing requested” is a stage, and the leads waiting for your reply are flagged hot.

  3. When an agent leaves, their buyers and the whole conversation leave with their phone.

EliteTeQ Inbox in Ethiopia

EliteTeQ Inbox works for estate agents, developers and property managers in Ethiopia on your existing +251 WhatsApp Business number. Customers see your business name as they do today, and your team answers from Addis Ababa and Adama or anywhere else.

In Ethiopia, many customers also use Telegram, which EliteTeQ Inbox does not connect to yet. For businesses in Addis Ababa and beyond that sell on WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram, it puts those chats in one list the whole team shares.

Customers in Ethiopia write in Amharic, Afaan Oromo, Tigrinya and English. Your team replies in the customer’s language inside the 24-hour window; template messages can currently be created in English.

Office hours are set day by day for each number. A common setup in Addis Ababa: weekdays open, Saturday mornings open, Sunday closed. Anyone who writes while you are closed gets your away message, at most once every 12 hours, and the chat waits at the top of the list for the morning.

Selling on WhatsApp in Ethiopia

Customers in Ethiopia pay with telebirr, CBE Birr, M-Pesa, cards and bank transfers, so when a sale closes on WhatsApp the customer may confirm payment in the chat, and your team needs to see that message quickly.

Dire Dawa

Dire Dawa · an eastern trade and rail city

Dire Dawa is a commercial city on the rail corridor toward Djibouti, which makes import and transit trade a large share of its activity and ties restocking to freight schedules. Cash dominates settlement, with cross-border influence on pricing from the Djibouti corridor. The rail corridor toward Djibouti makes import and transit trade central, tying restocking to freight rather than local demand. Real estate enquiries from Dire Dawa land in one shared inbox, so a quote never waits on one person’s phone.

Adama

Oromia Region · a commercial town on the central industrial corridor

Adama sits on the main corridor between Addis Ababa and the Djibouti route, which gives it substantial transit, logistics and hospitality trade alongside local retail. Demand is steadier than in farming towns nearby, and businesses benefit from clear bulk and unit pricing given the mix of supply and retail activity. Sitting on the corridor between the capital and the Djibouti route brings transit, logistics and hospitality trade on top of local retail. Real estate enquiries from Adama land in one shared inbox, so a quote never waits on one person’s phone.

Hawassa

Sidama Region · a lakeside city with a major industrial park

Hawassa combines a lakeside leisure and hospitality trade with a large industrial park, which gives it two distinct customer bases: weekend and holiday visitors, and a substantial wage-earning workforce with regular pay cycles. That makes demand more predictable than in agricultural towns, and rewards systems that handle both fast table service and everyday convenience retail. The industrial park provides a large wage-earning workforce on regular pay cycles while the lakeside draws weekend visitors — two predictable but unrelated demand curves. Real estate enquiries from Hawassa land in one shared inbox, so a quote never waits on one person’s phone.

Questions businesses ask us

Ask a human
Is there a WhatsApp CRM for real estate in Ethiopia?

Yes. Real estate teams in Ethiopia use EliteTeQ Inbox with their own +251 WhatsApp Business number. Staff in Addis Ababa, Adama or anywhere else answer from their own logins, customers write in Amharic, Afaan Oromo and English, and office hours run on Addis Ababa time (EAT). Plans start at $29 a month with a 7-day free trial.

Can each agent have their own login?

Yes. Every agent signs in with their own login as an Agent, and owners or managers as Admins. Buyers are assigned to one agent at a time, and you can reassign them with a handover note when someone is away.

Can different branches or projects use different WhatsApp numbers?

Yes. Connect several WhatsApp Business numbers in one workspace (Growth includes 2 and Business 3) and give each number its own team of agents.

Does it book viewings in a calendar?

No. EliteTeQ Inbox doesn’t have a calendar. Teams track viewings as a pipeline stage, such as “Viewing booked”, and agree the time in the chat.

Can several staff use the same WhatsApp number?

Yes. Everyone signs in with their own login, on a computer or phone, and each chat is assigned to one person. The WhatsApp Business app on your phone can stay connected.

How much does it cost?

Starter is $29 a month for 1 WhatsApp number and 3 people, Growth $59 for 2 numbers and 6 people, and Business $99 for 3 numbers and unlimited people. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial.
