Real estate use case
Verify real estate lead emails before you follow up
Portal leads are gold — and full of typos and fake addresses. Buyers rush a Zillow or Realtor.com form on their phone, fat-finger their email, or drop a throwaway address to browse without commitment. Verifly checks every lead email the moment it lands, so your follow-up reaches real buyers and sellers instead of bouncing.

Use Verifly when you need a simple API, predictable pricing, and clean JSON results before emails hit your product, CRM, or campaign tool.
Why portal leads bounce and cost you deals
Real estate leads arrive under bad conditions for accurate data entry. Someone taps a "request info" button on a listing from their phone while distracted, types their email into a small field, and submits. Typos are common — gmial.com, a missing letter, a wrong domain — and so are deliberate throwaways from people who want to browse without a barrage of agent follow-up. Either way, your carefully written follow-up bounces.
For an agent, a bounced lead is not just a lost email; it is a paid lead that produced nothing, and a follow-up sequence firing into a dead address that quietly erodes your sending reputation for the good leads too. Speed matters in real estate, so you cannot afford to discover an address is bad three emails into a drip. Verifying the moment the lead lands tells you immediately whether to chase it by email, or reach for the phone instead.
How to verify real estate leads with Verifly
Call Verifly the instant a lead comes in from a portal or your website, before the first automated follow-up fires. Verifly returns deliverable, undeliverable, or risky plus disposable, role, and catch-all flags, so you can route the lead correctly — email the deliverable ones, and switch to a call or text for the ones whose email will never land.
- On lead capture, call GET /verify?email= before the first follow-up email is queued.
- Route undeliverable leads to a phone or text follow-up instead of a dead email drip.
- Flag disposable addresses so low-intent browsers do not clog your best sequences.
- For imported or aged lead lists, run POST /verify/batch or the async bulk endpoint before re-engaging.

Frequently asked questions
Why do real estate leads have so many bad emails?
Most portal leads are entered quickly on a phone by someone browsing listings, so typos are frequent, and some buyers deliberately use throwaway addresses to avoid heavy follow-up. That combination makes raw portal lead emails unusually error-prone, and mailing them without checking causes bounces.
Can Verifly catch email typos like gmial.com?
Yes. Verifly checks the domain’s mail records and runs a real-time SMTP check, so a misspelled domain that cannot receive mail comes back undeliverable. That lets you catch the typo and follow up another way instead of losing the lead to a silent bounce.
How does verifying help me respond faster?
Speed-to-lead is decisive in real estate. Verifying at capture tells you immediately whether email is a viable channel for that lead. If the address is dead, you skip the wasted email attempts and go straight to a call or text, so your first real contact happens sooner.
Can I flag throwaway addresses from low-intent browsers?
Yes. Verifly flags disposable addresses — the temporary domains people use to browse without commitment. You can route those leads differently so they do not consume your highest-priority follow-up sequences meant for serious buyers and sellers.
Can I clean lead lists from my CRM or a lead vendor?
Yes. Export the list and run it through the batch endpoint (up to 100 per call) or the async bulk endpoint (up to 1,000,000 addresses). Cleaning purchased or aged lead lists before re-engaging protects your sending reputation and focuses effort on reachable prospects.
What does it cost for a real estate agent or team?
Verifly is pay-as-you-go with public flat packs from $2 per 1,000 verifications down to $0.60 per 1,000 at the largest pack, and credits never expire. Because lead volume fluctuates with the market and your ad spend, you are not locked into a subscription during slow stretches.
