Open-house attendance is low because invites go out late
Marketing schedules an open house Saturday, sends one email Friday, and gets 5 RSVPs. Multi-touch invites across voice, SMS, and email — starting two weeks out — routinely 5x attendance.
Frontdesk runs end-to-end open-house and resident event outreach across voice, SMS, and email — sending invites, capturing RSVPs, qualifying attendees, sending reminders, and writing attendance back to Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, AppFolio, Buildium, and ResMan.
A purpose-built event and open-house outreach engine for multifamily apartment communities, BTR and SFR portfolios, student housing, senior living, and affordable / LIHTC properties. Frontdesk drives prospect attendance at open houses by reactivating leads from Apartments.com, Zillow Rentals, Zumper, Rent.com, ApartmentList, HotPads, and Realtor.com Rentals — and drives resident attendance at community events with RSVP capture and reminder cadences. Bidirectional sync with Yardi Voyager 7S, Yardi Breeze, RentCafe, RealPage OneSite, Knock CRM, Entrata Core, AppFolio Realm-X, Buildium, ResMan, Rent Manager, and Funnel CRM. Replaces manual invite blasts, Eventbrite for property events, and the limited event features of EliseAI, Zuma, Respage, BetterBot, and Funnel Leasing.

The Problem
Marketing schedules an open house Saturday, sends one email Friday, and gets 5 RSVPs. Multi-touch invites across voice, SMS, and email — starting two weeks out — routinely 5x attendance.
A renter RSVPs to an open house, then never hears anything until the day-of email. 50%+ no-show. Qualification, confirmation, and 24h / 2h reminders 2–3x show rate.
Pool parties, BBQs, holiday events — residents forget. Without a multi-touch cadence with RSVP capture, attendance is a coin flip.
Who actually showed up to the open house? Who RSVP’d but no-showed? Without PMS writeback, follow-up nurture is impossible.

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 invites every prospect cohort to the open house — starting two weeks out, with reminders at 1 week, 3 days, 1 day, and 2 hours before — across voice, SMS, and email.
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
RSVPs come in via SMS, email, or voice — Frontdesk confirms, qualifies (budget, move-in, occupants, pets), and adds the prospect to the day-of run sheet.
More capabilities
Pool parties, BBQs, holiday events, fitness classes, package pickups — Frontdesk handles invitations, RSVP capture, reminders, and post-event follow-up for any resident-facing event.
Every attendee (and every no-show) is written back to the PMS — with attendance status, qualification, and follow-up nurture pre-loaded for the leasing team.
