Frontdesk
Real-Time Availability

Answer “what’s available?” instantly across every floor plan and community

Frontdesk reads live availability from Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, AppFolio, Buildium, and ResMan in real time — so every prospect call, chat, SMS, or ILS lead gets accurate unit, floor plan, and pricing information without ever putting a leasing consultant on the phone. No more “let me check and call you back.”

Live apartment availability lookup AI for multifamily apartment communities, lease-up properties, build-to-rent (BTR) portfolios, single-family rentals (SFR), student housing, senior living, and affordable / LIHTC operators. Pulls current vacancies, asking rents, lease-term pricing, and floor-plan availability from Yardi Voyager, Yardi Breeze, RentCafe, RealPage OneSite, Knock CRM, Entrata Core, AppFolio Realm-X, Buildium, ResMan, Rent Manager, and MRI Software — and pairs them with ILS demand from Apartments.com, Zillow Rentals, Zumper, Rent.com, ApartmentList, and HotPads.

The Problem

Leasing consultants quote stale availability from memory

Spreadsheets, whiteboards, and yesterday’s availability reports lead to quoting units that just leased — or missing units that just came back on market. Either way, the prospect loses trust.

Lost leases and tour cancellations on the day-of

“Let me check and call you back” loses the lead

When a leasing consultant has to look up availability and call back, the prospect has already contacted 3–4 competitors. The community that answers in real time wins the tour.

Lower speed-to-lead and lower lead-to-tour rate

Online ILS data lags the PMS by 12–48 hours

Apartments.com, Zillow Rentals, and Zumper feeds refresh nightly at best. Prospects calling about a unit they saw online frequently inquire on a unit that already leased.

Bad-faith experience and damage to community reputation

How Frontdesk Works

Built for multifamily operators on Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, AppFolio, Buildium, ResMan — and every other major PMS.

Floor-plan matching against renter needs

Frontdesk takes captured renter criteria (bedrooms, baths, move-in date, budget, pets, parking, view, floor preference) and matches against real-time inventory — including pre-leasing units coming online in 30/60/90 days.

  • Bedroom, bath, square footage, and lease-term filtering
  • Move-in date matching against unit make-ready dates
  • Pet, parking, view, and floor-level preferences
  • Pre-leasing of units coming available in 30/60/90 days

Multi-property and portfolio-aware lookup

  • Cross-property availability across 50–500+ communities
  • Submarket and city-level matching for portfolio operators
  • Sister-property routing when a community is full
  • BTR / SFR portfolio inventory across multiple metros
  • Centralized leasing call-center handoffs with full availability context
04

Live pricing, specials, and concessions

Frontdesk surfaces current asking rent, concessions, lease-term pricing tiers, and one-time specials in real time — pulled from RealPage AI Revenue Management, RealPage LRO, Yardi pricing, or your in-house pricing engine.

  • Asking rent by unit, floor plan, and lease term
  • Concessions (1 month free, look-and-lease, waived admin fee)
  • Lease-term pricing (3, 6, 9, 12, 13, 15-month)
  • Pet rent, parking fees, and add-on pricing
  • Renewal pricing for prospect-to-resident negotiation context

01

Step 1

AI captures every prospect and resident interaction

Inbound voice calls, outbound AI voice, SMS, WhatsApp, web chat, email, ILS lead forms (Apartments.com, Zillow Rentals, Zumper, Rent.com, ApartmentList, HotPads, Realtor.com Rentals), and walk-in inquiries are answered instantly with portfolio-aware context — across multifamily apartment communities, build-to-rent (BTR), single-family rental (SFR), student housing, senior living, and affordable / LIHTC properties.

02

Step 2

Records sync to your PMS, CRM, and calendar

Guest cards, work orders, renewals, payment notes, hardship flags, and tour bookings flow into Yardi Voyager 7S, Yardi Breeze, RentCafe, RealPage OneSite, Knock CRM, Entrata Core, AppFolio Realm-X, Buildium, ResMan, Rent Manager, MRI Software, DoorLoop, TenantCloud, and Funnel CRM in real time. Calendar sync with Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, and PMS-native calendars. No double-entry.

03

Step 3

Automation runs follow-up across voice, SMS, and email

No-show recovery within 5 minutes, dormant-lead reactivation, 90/60/30/15-day renewal cadences, day-of-due rent reminders, tiered delinquency outreach, payment-plan negotiation, autopay enrollment, maintenance status updates, and Google review requests fire automatically — with the right cadence and channel per resident persona.

04

Step 4

Portfolio analytics surface what matters

Cross-property dashboards track speed-to-lead, tour-booked rate, tour-to-lease conversion, no-show rate, recovery rate, average maintenance SLA, emergency response time, renewal rate, delinquency reduction, payroll savings, and NOI impact — across every community. AI call scoring and QA flags replace mystery shopping.
