Local Lead Generation
By Sagar Shankaran, Founder of CallSphere
Vietnam’s property recovery is generating a flood of buyer and renter enquiries that outpace agency phone lines and Zalo inboxes. The data on missed property leads and how CallSphere captures them 24/7.
Key takeaways
Vietnam's property market has found its feet again. New infrastructure, a rising urban middle class, and renewed developer launches have pushed buyer and renter enquiries up sharply across Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi and Da Nang. Apartment launches in Thu Duc and the western districts of Hanoi draw waitlists. Da Nang's coastal condominium and resort-property segment is pulling both domestic investors and overseas Vietnamese buyers. The consumer confidence that stalled a couple of years ago is back, and it is showing up as phone calls, Zalo messages and web-form enquiries in volumes agencies have not seen in a while.
Here is what separates the agencies that grow from the ones that stall: response speed. A Vietnamese property buyer or renter is almost always contacting several agencies about the same listing at once. The one that replies first, in their language, with the right details and a booked viewing, wins. Everyone else is a wasted enquiry. And with enquiries arriving late at night and across a small sales team, most agencies are answering far fewer than they think.
Property enquiries are the highest-value leads most Vietnamese agencies handle, so the cost of a miss is steep.
| Segment | Avg. deal value (₫) | Enquiry-to-close rate | Value lost per missed enquiry (₫) |
|---|---|---|---|
| HCMC apartment sale (Thu Duc) | ₫4,500,000,000 | 3% | ₫135,000,000 |
| Hanoi villa / townhouse | ₫9,000,000,000 | 2% | ₫180,000,000 |
| Da Nang coastal condo | ₫3,800,000,000 | 4% | ₫152,000,000 |
| HCMC apartment rental | ₫18,000,000/mo | 15% | ₫2,700,000 |
| Commercial lease, District 1 | ₫90,000,000/mo | 8% | ₫7,200,000 |
Even at a 2 to 4 percent close rate, the commission on a single ₫9,000,000,000 Hanoi villa dwarfs any answering solution. Missing a handful of these a month is a growth-killing silent cost.
What makes this especially painful in Vietnam is how concentrated the buying windows are. When a hot Thu Duc or Tay Ho project launches, enquiries do not trickle in evenly; they arrive in a flood over a few days, often triggered by a single marketing push or a viral post. That is precisely when a small sales team is most overwhelmed and most likely to let calls ring out. The agencies that capture the launch are not the ones with the biggest teams, they are the ones whose phone and Zalo never go unanswered during the spike. Miss those 48 hours and you are not competing for the project at all; you are picking over the buyers everyone else already turned down.
Buyers browse and enquire in the evening, after work, and on weekends. An enquiry at 9pm that nobody answers until 8am is usually already gone.
Vietnamese buyers and renters overwhelmingly reach out on Zalo. A reply that comes hours later loses to the agency that answered in minutes.

Da Nang and HCMC draw overseas Vietnamese and foreign investors who enquire in English and prefer their own language. An agency that can only serve Vietnamese leaves those deals on the table.
CallSphere is an AI voice and chat agent that answers every call, Zalo message and web enquiry the instant it arrives, 24/7, in 57+ languages, and books viewings straight into your agents' calendars. Built on the OpenAI Realtime API with sub-second responses, it holds a natural conversation, qualifies the enquiry (budget, timeline, financing, purpose), scores the lead hot/warm/cold, and hands the ready buyers to your closers with a full summary attached.
For an agency this means no enquiry goes cold overnight, every buyer is answered instantly in their language, and your agents spend their day on qualified viewings instead of chasing unresponsive leads.
