Frontdesk is a 24/7 AI leasing assistant purpose-built for multifamily apartment communities, BTR portfolios, and student housing operators. It answers every inbound call, web chat, SMS, email, and ILS lead in under a second — qualifying renters, booking tours, and syncing guest cards into Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, AppFolio, Buildium, and ResMan around the clock.
Designed as an always-on AI leasing assistant for apartment communities, lease-up properties, build-to-rent (BTR) portfolios, single-family rental (SFR) operators, student housing, senior living, and affordable / LIHTC properties. Replaces voicemail backlogs, third-party answering services, and ILS lead lag with instant multilingual conversation across voice, SMS, web chat, email, WhatsApp, and ILS form webhooks from Apartments.com, Zillow Rentals, Zumper, Rent.com, ApartmentList, HotPads, and Realtor.com Rentals.

The Problem
Over 40% of multifamily leasing inquiries land outside of office hours. Renters compare 6–10 communities and sign with whoever answers first — not whoever returns a voicemail Monday morning.
Communities spend $400–$900 per month per property on Apartments.com, Zillow Rentals, and Zumper. Letting those leads die in a voicemail box destroys the per-lead economics.
In many MSAs, 25–40% of renter inquiries arrive in Spanish. Without a multilingual 24/7 agent, those prospects abandon and contact a competitor immediately.
Even REITs with centralized leasing call centers tap out at 7–8pm local time and stay dark on Sundays. That leaves a 70+ hour weekly coverage gap per market.
How Frontdesk Works

AI Transcript
“Hi! I’d love to tour the 2-bedroom at Maple Heights. Any availability this Saturday?”
Frontdesk AI
“Yes! The 2BR at Maple Heights is $2,450/mo with a Feb 1 move-in. Saturday 11am or 2pm works for tours. Shall I book one?”
Frontdesk answers every inbound voice call, web chat, SMS, email, ILS form, and WhatsApp message in under 0.5 seconds — 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, including holidays and severe-weather closures.
Looking for a 2BR around $2,400, move-in mid-February. Do you allow pets?
We have a 2BR at $2,450/mo available Feb 15. Cats and dogs under 50 lbs welcome. What’s your move-in date?
Captured
Every interaction captures budget, move-in date, occupants, pets, parking, employment, and voucher status — and matches against live availability in your PMS before booking a tour.
More capabilities
Frontdesk schedules in-person, virtual, and self-guided tours directly into Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, or PMS-native calendars — with confirmations and reminder cadences set automatically.
Every conversation creates or updates a guest card in your system of record, with full transcript attached. No manual entry, no double-handling, no orphaned leads.
Multi-touch sequences across voice, SMS, and email fire automatically — tuned for tour confirmations, no-show recovery within 5 minutes, application reminders, and dormant lead reactivation.
