Frontdesk
AI Leasing Agent

The AI leasing agent that fills units 24/7 — across every community

Frontdesk is an AI leasing agent built for multifamily operators, REITs, and property management companies. It answers every prospect call, chat, SMS, and ILS lead instantly, qualifies renters, books tours into your team’s calendar, and pushes guest cards straight into Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, AppFolio, Buildium, or ResMan.

Built as a true 24/7 AI leasing assistant for apartment communities, lease-up properties, build-to-rent (BTR) portfolios, single-family rentals (SFR), student housing, senior living, and affordable housing operators. Replaces missed calls, voicemail backlogs, and ILS lead lag with instant, multilingual conversation across voice, SMS, web chat, email, and WhatsApp.

The Problem

Over 40% of leasing inquiries happen outside office hours

Prospects search Apartments.com, Zillow, Zumper, and Google at night and on weekends. Without 24/7 coverage, those leads go to voicemail — and book with a competitor before your office opens Monday.

Lost lease velocity, slower lease-up, lower occupancy

ILS leads (Apartments.com, Zillow Rentals, Zumper) go stale in minutes

The first community to respond wins the tour. Manual lead response averages 4+ hours — Frontdesk responds in under 0.5 seconds across every channel with budget, move-in, and pet qualification.

Lower lead-to-tour and tour-to-lease conversion

Leasing consultants are drowning in repetitive calls

Pricing, availability, pet policy, application status, and tour scheduling consume hours per day per agent. That work belongs to AI so on-site teams can focus on closing.

Higher payroll cost per signed lease, team burnout

Tour no-shows go unrecovered

Industry no-show rate sits at 25–35%. Without automated multi-channel recovery, the vacant unit sits longer and the lead goes cold.

More days vacant per unit, missed NOI

How Frontdesk Works

Built for multifamily operators on Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, AppFolio, Buildium, ResMan — and every other major PMS.
