A Complete Break After the Form
Once the form is submitted, the user experience stops.
A Field Experiment That Reveals the Problem
In recent weeks, a field experiment was conducted to understand why so many real estate leads disappear without ever turning into clients.
Over a 120-day period, more than 20 real estate companies across Quebec were contacted through their official online forms.
The contact details used were real and valid. The actions replicated the behavior of a genuinely interested buyer.
The results are surprising.
The Numbers Speak for Themselves
After 120 days of observation:
- 20+ companies contacted
- 0 responses
- 0 phone calls
- 0 emails
- 0 follow-ups
Result: 100% of leads were lost.
The issue is not that prospects are saying no.
The issue is that they disappear due to a lack of continuity in the customer journey.
The Real Problem: A Broken Customer Journey
A Typical Scenario
- A prospect sees an ad
- They visit the project website
- They fill out a contact form
- … then nothing
The journey stops abruptly.
The prospect is left without interaction, without follow-up, and without any way to continue exploring.
Result: interest fades quickly and the lead is lost.
The Systemic Issues Identified
Websites Used as Static Showcases
Most real estate websites present the project but do not allow for advanced interaction.
They function more like digital brochures than conversion tools.
A Break After the Form
Once contact information is submitted, the experience ends completely.
The prospect can no longer explore, compare, or continue their journey.
No Engagement Mechanisms
Without interactive tools — such as 3D exploration, unit selectors, or favorites — prospect interest fades rapidly.
Slow or Non-Existent Follow-Up
In many cases observed, no follow-up was made.
And when follow-up does occur, it often happens more than 24 hours after the request — when the prospect’s intent has already faded.
The Direct Impact on Revenue
A lost lead is not just an ignored form.
It is a lost rental or sales opportunity.
In a project receiving, for example, 1,000 visitors per month, even a small improvement in conversion rate can generate significant revenue.
The Solution: Transform the Showcase into a Customer Journey
To solve this problem, the customer experience must become continuous, interactive, and measurable.
That is exactly the approach behind Livya.
The platform is built on three core pillars.
Continuous Experience
After submitting their contact information, prospects can continue exploring:
- the neighborhood
- the project
- the buildings
- available units
The journey no longer stops at the form.
Self-Driven Engagement
Buyers can interact with the project through:
- 3D buildings
- unit selectors
- interactive floor plans
- favorites / likes
- interactive maps
Each interaction provides measurable insights into real buyer intent.
Better Qualified Leads
Instead of receiving only a name and email, teams gain valuable insights:
- units viewed
- preferences
- comparisons
- estimated budget
- engagement history
This allows teams to contact the most engaged prospects at the right time.
A Unified Customer Journey
With Livya, the experience can cover the entire lifecycle:
- Click on an ad
- Website visit
- Interactive exploration
- Lead generation
- Reservation
- Insurance selection
- Credit check
- Online lease signing
- Deposit payment
- Management and renewal
The journey becomes seamless from first click to tenant management.
Measurable ROI
Example for a 100-unit portfolio
- Cost: $1 per unit per month
- Annual investment: $1,200
If the platform converts just one additional lease per year:
- Average rent: $1,500/month
- Revenue generated: $18,000/year
Estimated ROI: 1,400%
This calculation does not even account for the impact on the asset’s overall value.
The Real Cost of Inaction
Every day without a response means permanently lost leads.
In a competitive market, prospects do not wait — they simply move on to the next project.
Conclusion
Real estate leads are not the problem.
What is often missing is a customer journey capable of maintaining engagement between the first click and lease signing.
By transforming real estate websites into continuous, interactive platforms, it becomes possible to:
- maintain prospect interest
- automatically qualify leads
- accelerate response times
- significantly increase conversions
