Built from inside the day job, not a whiteboard
Real Enquiries is built by one person who runs an actual lettings portfolio and got tired of stitching five tools together to move one enquiry to a signed tenancy.
- Built for Irish rules — RTB, RPZ and GDPR — from day one
- Live today, with a small number of agencies and a waiting list
- Third-party dependencies kept deliberately few
- Every screen in the product tour is real, not a mockup

“I run a lettings portfolio and got tired of stitching five tools together to move one enquiry to a signed tenancy.”

Small and mid-sized Irish agencies are stuck between a generic CRM that knows nothing about the RTB, and a heavyweight enterprise suite that takes a quarter to roll out. In between, the whole lifecycle ends up running across a shared mailbox, a spreadsheet, a folder of PDFs, and whatever the accountant uses.
That was us. Real Enquiries is the tool that was missing — one system for the enquiry, the application, the tenancy and the renewal, with Irish compliance built in rather than configured after the fact.
A shared, threaded inbox
Forwarded emails, listing-page forms and API submissions land as conversations with the source and property attached, with a personalised auto-reply within minutes.
AI-reviewed applications
A household summary, an affordability check and a document-by-document cross-check on every application — advisory only. A member of staff makes every decision.
Compliance as the default
RTB registration, the rent-pressure-zone rules and GDPR retention are built in, not configured after the fact — with data hosted in Ireland.
One record, start to finish
The same tenancy carries through applications, documents, rent reviews and renewals, plus a public listing site — nothing re-keyed between tools.
Where it’s at today
No inflated numbers — here’s the honest state of things.
Live & actively developed
A small number of agencies use it day to day, with new releases shipping most weeks.
Taking the next intake
New teams join from the waiting list and get hands-on onboarding, not a self-serve signup form.
Hosted in Ireland, inside the EU
Encrypted in transit and at rest, with company-scoped encrypted backups.
“I built Real Enquiries to run the parts of a lettings operation that eat the day — the inbox, the application review, the tenancy paperwork — so a small team can move fast without dropping a lead or missing a compliance step.”
- Still manages a real lettings portfolio at MD Property & Living — the workflows come from the day job, not a whiteboard.
- Builds and ships Real Enquiries largely solo, with third-party dependencies kept deliberately few, for security and for control.
- Writes about the build in the open on the blog, including what the AI is built not to do.
