```
1. Customer submits inquiry on website
   ↓ (Database updated)
2. Broker dashboard (5-second poll)
   ↓ (Detects new lead)
3. New lead appears in "Leads" tab
   ↓ (Broker sees notification)
4. Broker clicks "Respond"
   ↓ (Modal opens)
5. Broker enters message
   ↓ (Clicks "Send Response")
6. API processes response
   ↓ (Database updated)
7. Status changes to "Responded"
   ↓ (Instantly visible)
8. Customer gets notification
   ↓ (All without page refresh!)
