Frontdesk qualifies every inbound voice, chat, SMS, email, and ILS lead — capturing budget, move-in date, occupants, pets, parking, employment, and voucher status, and matching against live availability in Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, AppFolio, Buildium, and ResMan before a tour is ever offered.
AI apartment lead qualification for multifamily apartment communities, lease-up properties, build-to-rent (BTR) portfolios, single-family rentals (SFR), student housing, senior living, and affordable / LIHTC operators. Replaces manual qualification forms, voicemail, and lazy guest-card creation with structured, complete renter qualification across ILS leads from Apartments.com, Zillow Rentals, Zumper, Rent.com, ApartmentList, HotPads, Realtor.com Rentals, and Craigslist.

The Problem
Tours that don’t meet basic budget, move-in, or pet criteria waste leasing-consultant time, push qualified tours out of the calendar, and skew lead-to-lease conversion data.
Online forms ask 12 questions and prospects answer 3. Voice IVR menus get bypassed. Manual qualification by leasing consultants takes 10–15 minutes per call.
Section 8, LIHTC, and HUD-eligibility questions are often missed at first contact, leading to wasted tours and compliance pain when the prospect is ineligible.
How Frontdesk Works
Built for multifamily operators on Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, AppFolio, Buildium, ResMan — and every other major PMS.

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 captures budget, move-in date, occupants, pets, parking, employment, voucher status, current address, reason for moving, and floor-plan preference on the first conversation — voice, chat, SMS, or email.
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
Captured criteria are matched against real-time inventory in Yardi Voyager, RealPage OneSite, Entrata Core, AppFolio Realm-X, Buildium, ResMan, and Rent Manager — including units on notice and pre-leasing pipelines.
More capabilities
Frontdesk handles pre-screening for credit, employment, rental history, and voucher eligibility — and tactfully redirects ineligible prospects to sister properties or affordable-housing options without escalating to a leasing consultant.
Every qualified lead creates a complete guest card in your PMS / CRM, with full transcript, qualification answers, and lead score attached — no manual data entry required.

Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
