Frontdesk catches every leasing call that would have rolled to voicemail and answers it live with an AI receptionist — or, if the prospect hangs up, fires an outbound AI voice + SMS recovery sequence within 60 seconds. Guest cards, callbacks, and tours all sync to your PMS in real time.
Engineered for multifamily operators losing 30–50% of inbound leasing calls to voicemail. Bidirectional sync with Yardi Voyager, RealPage OneSite, Entrata Core, AppFolio Realm-X, Buildium, and ResMan. Recovers prospects originally sourced from Apartments.com, Zillow Rentals, Zumper, Rent.com, ApartmentList, HotPads, Realtor.com Rentals, and Craigslist across conventional, lease-up, build-to-rent, student housing, senior living, and affordable / LIHTC portfolios. A modern alternative to EliseAI, Funnel, Zuma, Respage, BetterBot, LeaseHawk, and traditional answering services like PATLive and AnswerConnect.

The Problem
During lunch breaks, on tours, after hours, and on weekends, the office phone goes unanswered. Prospects don’t leave voicemails — they hang up and dial the next community on Apartments.com or Zillow Rentals.
When a prospect does leave a voicemail, the leasing agent calls back the next morning. By then the renter has already toured at three competitor properties — and the Yardi RentCafe or Knock CRM guest card has gone cold.
PATLive, AnswerConnect, and Specialty Answering Service take a message and hand it off. They don’t qualify prospects, book tours into the leasing-team calendar, or write back to the PMS — leaving leasing agents to redo the work.
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 catches every leasing call after a configurable ring count (typically 3–4 rings) and answers it live as a portfolio-aware AI receptionist — qualifying budget, move-in date, occupants, pets, and parking, then booking a tour.
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
If a prospect hangs up without leaving a voicemail (or leaves a partial message), Frontdesk fires an outbound AI voice callback within 60 seconds, plus a personalized SMS — recovering pipeline that would otherwise vanish.
More capabilities
Every call — answered, missed, or recovered — creates or updates a guest card in Yardi RentCafe, RealPage OneSite, Knock CRM, Entrata Core, AppFolio Realm-X, Buildium, ResMan, or Funnel CRM with full transcript, recording, and qualification data.
Recovery sequences run in the prospect’s preferred language — voice in 30+ languages and text in 50+ languages. Critical for portfolios serving Spanish, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Korean, Portuguese, Arabic, Haitian Creole, and Russian speakers.
