May through September is when 60% of annual move-ins happen and when leasing offices are most overwhelmed. Frontdesk answers every call, qualifies every lead, and books every tour at peak volume, so your team converts the surge instead of drowning in it.

The Problem
Inbound leasing calls, ILS leads, and walk-ins all spike at once in late spring and summer. A two-person leasing office that handles 40 calls a day in winter sees 120+ in July.
By the time a temp leasing agent is recruited, trained on your PMS, and ramped on your scripts, the peak is already half over. Then they leave before renewal season.
Peak-season prospects tour on weekends and inquire at night. Most offices close at 6 PM and skip Sundays, so the busiest inquiry windows get a voicemail box.
Rushed agents skip qualification questions, forget tour reminders, and let follow-up cadences slide when every line is ringing.
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 leasing call simultaneously, with no hold queue and no rollover to voicemail, no matter how high July volume climbs.
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 caller is qualified on budget, move-in date, occupants, pets, and parking, then booked into an available tour slot synced to your PMS calendar, even at the height of the season.
More capabilities
Frontdesk runs 24/7, so the Saturday-afternoon and 9 PM tour requests that define peak season get booked instead of lost.
Speed-to-lead under 60 seconds, tour reminder cadences, and no-show recovery keep firing automatically even when your team is slammed.
