The Problem
School calendars and lease cycles push the majority of move-ins into June, July, and August. Every prospect wants the same tour slots and the same answers at the same time.
Leasing agents take summer vacations during the exact weeks demand peaks, leaving offices short-staffed when they can least afford it.
Zillow, Apartments.com, and Zumper send a summer flood of form leads. Manual call-backs take hours, and conversion collapses after the first five minutes.
Summer shoppers compare many communities in a single weekend. A slow or templated reply loses them to a faster competitor before Monday.

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 calls or texts every new ILS and website lead within 60 seconds, the single biggest driver of summer tour conversion.
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
Frontdesk never takes vacation. When agents are out in July, every call is still answered and every tour still booked.
More capabilities
Frontdesk books tours into clustered summer slots and runs reminder cadences to protect against the no-shows that spike in busy weeks.
Bilingual English/Spanish voice on every call and text in 50+ languages so no summer prospect is lost to a language barrier.
