Make-ready coordination eats the leasing team
During turn, leasing and maintenance staff are walking units, scheduling vendors, and processing move-outs, which means nobody is answering the leasing line.
During turn, your team is buried in move-outs, make-readies, and vendor coordination while new-lead calls keep ringing. Frontdesk handles leasing calls, maintenance intake, and move-out logistics in parallel so turn season does not cost you the next lease.

The Problem
During turn, leasing and maintenance staff are walking units, scheduling vendors, and processing move-outs, which means nobody is answering the leasing line.
Residents call about deposits, move-out dates, key returns, and final inspections at the same time new prospects are calling to tour.
Make-ready work orders, vendor scheduling, and punch-list calls surge during turn, overwhelming the same staff handling leasing.
Turn season is when units sit empty. Every leasing call lost to voicemail extends vacancy on a unit that is already costing revenue.

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 new-prospect leasing calls and resident move-out questions at the same time, so neither stream gets dropped while staff focus on make-readies.
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?
