Frontdesk’s Lease-Up Acceleration Agent runs every leasing workflow at lease-up scale — instant ILS lead response, 24/7 tour booking, multi-channel nurture, waitlist management, concession orchestration, and renewal-cohort priming. Built to compress months off your lease-up curve and protect NOI projections.
Engineered for multifamily developers, REITs, and lease-up specialists racing toward stabilization. Bidirectional integration with Yardi Voyager, RealPage OneSite, Entrata Core, AppFolio Realm-X, Buildium, and ResMan. Captures and converts demand from Apartments.com, Zillow Rentals, Zumper, Rent.com, ApartmentList, HotPads, Realtor.com Rentals, Craigslist, and Facebook Marketplace Rentals — across conventional multifamily, build-to-rent (BTR), single-family rental (SFR), student housing, senior living, mixed-use, and affordable / LIHTC lease-up portfolios. Goes well beyond EliseAI, Funnel, Zuma, Respage, Yardi Chat IQ, Entrata ELI+, BetterBot, Quext, and LeaseHawk for the lease-up-specific workflow.

The Problem
Lease-up carrying cost — debt service, taxes, insurance, payroll — runs $200K–$1M per month per asset. Every month behind the pro forma curve directly compresses NOI and refinance valuation.
A lease-up community gets 5–10x the ILS volume of a stabilized community. Hiring enough leasing consultants to cover the volume is slow, expensive, and inconsistent — and most of the volume hits outside business hours.
Blanket concession campaigns burn marketing budget without converting. Without persona-level and floor-plan-level targeting, lease-up properties overspend on incentives and still miss velocity targets.
Leads captured on a marketing site or chatbot don’t always sync cleanly into Yardi RentCafe, RealPage OneSite, Knock CRM, Entrata Core, AppFolio, Buildium, or ResMan. Tours get booked twice or never. Concessions don’t apply. Applications get duplicated.

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 voice, SMS, web chat, WhatsApp, email, and ILS-form lead within sub-second — qualifies on budget, move-in, occupants, pets, parking, voucher status — and books tours into the leasing-team calendar 24/7.
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
Pre-CO and pre-delivery, Frontdesk captures waitlist demand, prioritizes signups by move-in fit and budget, and orchestrates concession targeting per floor plan and persona. When units go live, the waitlist converts on day one.
More capabilities
Aggressive but respectful multi-touch cadences for inquiries, tours, applications, and ghosting events. Sub-5-minute no-show recovery. Mid-funnel ghosting detection. Dormant-lead reactivation at 7, 14, 30, 60, 90 days. All running 24/7.
Two-way sync with Yardi Voyager, RealPage OneSite, Knock CRM, Entrata Core, AppFolio Realm-X, Buildium, ResMan, Funnel CRM, Spherexx ILoveLeasing, and G5 — plus lease-up-specific dashboards tracking speed-to-lead, tour-booked rate, tour-to-lease conversion, and velocity-vs.-pro-forma.
Frontdesk captures the data needed for retention from the first inquiry — preferred channel, communication tone, household composition, amenity priorities. When renewal time comes 9–12 months later, the AI already knows the resident.

Frontdesk integrates with Yardi Voyager, Yardi Breeze, RentCafe, RealPage OneSite, Knock CRM, Entrata, AppFolio, Buildium, ResMan, Rent Manager, and MRI Software. Here's what multifamily operators ask most.
Contact supportEliseAI, Funnel, and ELI+ handle pieces of the lease-up — typically SMS and email assistance for inbound conversations. Frontdesk orchestrates the full lease-up motion: 24/7 voice, SMS, chat, email, WhatsApp; waitlist management; concession targeting; no-show recovery; tour-to-application nurture; ghosted re-engagement; and renewal-cohort priming. Many lease-up teams run Frontdesk alongside Knock CRM or Funnel rather than ripping them out.
