Hermes Agent for real estate means giving Nous Research’s open-source agent the busywork between a new enquiry and a signed deal: first replies, viewing bookings, CRM notes, area research and follow-up reminders. Everything below comes from the official Hermes docs, the v0.23.0 release and the plugin catalog. My video is right under this intro.
Key takeaways
- Answer enquiries on email or WhatsApp Business, with an allowlist.
- Share viewing slots through the Calendly MCP entry.
- Keep leads in Attio, Close or Twenty CRM.
- Research areas and listings with web search and a real browser.

Why use Hermes in real estate
Agents and brokers lose deals to slow replies and forgotten follow-ups. Hermes runs on your own machine or server, works around the clock and remembers each conversation, so new enquiries get a quick first answer and no lead goes quiet.
There’s no MLS, Zillow or property-portal connector in the Hermes catalog today, so this page sticks to what the docs support. For general lead work, see Hermes Agent for sales.
1. First replies on email and WhatsApp
The email gateway works over IMAP and SMTP, replies in the same thread and recommends a dedicated inbox. The WhatsApp Business Cloud API adapter needs a Meta Business account, a business number and a public HTTPS URL.
Have the agent answer simple questions (is it still available, when can I view) and draft anything more serious for you to send.

2. Booking viewings
The Calendly entry in the Nous-approved MCP catalog covers scheduling links, events and invitees. Hermes can send a lead your booking link and check who’s booked for tomorrow.
3. A CRM that stays up to date
The catalog has Nous-approved MCP entries for Attio (records, lists and notes) and Close (leads, opportunities, calls and emails), plus a community Twenty CRM plugin. There’s no HubSpot or Pipedrive entry.
Ask Hermes to log every enquiry, add notes after each call and list leads you haven’t contacted in a week.
4. Area and listing research
Use web_search and web_extract from the web search docs, or browser_exec for sites that need clicking. The document extraction tool also reads PDFs, Word files and spreadsheets, so brochures and reports can go straight in.
Example prompt: “Summarise schools, transport and recent planning news for this postcode, and link every source.”

5. Follow-ups and listing copy
A cron job can send you a morning list of leads to call and viewings for the day. Save your listing style as a skill so description drafts follow your format, and use image generation for social graphics, never to change what a property looks like.
6. Stay in control
Use allowlists so the agent only answers the people you choose, keep logins in the credential vault and review anything that makes a promise, quotes a figure or goes to a solicitor. Property claims need to be accurate, so check every listing draft yourself.
My verdict
Start with one dedicated inbox, a Calendly link and a morning follow-up list. When replies sound right, connect your CRM. That’s a low-risk way to use Hermes Agent for real estate.
