Intake Intelligence for Real Estate & Property Management
Buyers go cold in hours and applicants vanish at the first long form. GateCurate is the qualification layer that runs before the first conversation — so showings and callbacks go to the people who are ready to move.
The intake problem in real estate & property management
- The pre-approved buyer and the weekend window-shopper send the same three-line inquiry. By the time you’ve told them apart, the pre-approved one has an accepted offer — somewhere else.
- Ask for everything up front and the best applicants give you nothing at all. The contact-info wall filters out exactly the people you wanted.
- Vacancy pressure makes every applicant look qualified. Then the wrong tenant costs more than the empty unit ever did.
- Follow-up dies in the gap between first touch and first conversation — not because you’re slow, but because nothing told you which inquiry couldn’t wait.
Real estate agents & teams
Buyer intent has a shelf life measured in hours, and most inquiry forms can’t tell a pre-approved buyer from a Sunday browser. Qualification at intake means the showing gets booked with the buyer who’s ready to write an offer — while the browser gets a lighter touch that doesn’t cost you an afternoon.
Property managers & multi-unit operators
An empty unit bleeds every day, but the wrong tenant bleeds longer. Multi-unit operators sit on a stream of applicants with no signal for which one is qualified, funded, and ready to sign. Intake that sorts them means the vacancy fills fast — with a tenant you won’t regret.
Tenant screening & applications
The application is where good tenants disappear: too many questions before any trust is built, and the strongest applicants — the ones with options — simply leave. Progressive qualification asks for the right information at the right moment, so screening starts without scaring off the people you’re screening for.

Questions operators ask
What does GateCurate cost for a real estate or property management operation?
Signal is $149/month, Operator is $399/month, and Team is $799/month. Each plan is the same product; the difference is seats and scored-inquiry volume. For a solo agent or small PM shop closing one or two new relationships a month, Signal is usually enough. Teams with dedicated showing partners, transaction coordinators, or TCs move to Operator or Team when inbound outgrows one seat.
How fast can agents and property managers be up and running?
The fit check takes about two minutes, checkout is immediate, and onboarding is in your inbox the same day. A GateCurate intake form can replace or augment your contact page, listing-detail CTA, or tenant-application link within hours — so the next buyer or applicant gets qualified before your first callback.
I’m a solo agent. Which plan fits?
Signal at $149/month is built for the operator handling inbound alone. One seat, 40 scored inquiries a month, unlimited intake forms. When you add a showing partner, assistant, or transaction coordinator, Operator adds seats and volume without changing how you qualify.
Stop giving your best hours to window-shoppers.
A two-minute fit check, secure checkout, and your qualification layer runs the same day. The next showing you book can be with a buyer who’s ready.
