On-site leasing consultants can’t take a call while on tour
When a leasing consultant is on tour, on another call, or at lunch, overflow calls go straight to voicemail. Industry data shows 60–80% of voicemails are never returned.

It qualifies renters, checks live PMS availability across Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, AppFolio, Buildium, and ResMan, books tours into your calendar, and hands warm transfers to your leasing consultants when needed.

The Problem
When a leasing consultant is on tour, on another call, or at lunch, overflow calls go straight to voicemail. Industry data shows 60–80% of voicemails are never returned.
Even REITs with centralized leasing call centers see overflow spikes during lunch, evening, and weekend peak windows — leaving calls in queue or routed to voicemail.
A voicemail still has to be transcribed, called back, qualified, and booked — adding 15–20 minutes of leasing-consultant work per missed call.

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 overflow call (busy, no-answer, lunch, weekend), chat, SMS, email, and ILS lead in under 0.5 seconds — with no hold time and concurrent call handling.
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
Frontdesk qualifies the renter, checks live PMS availability, and books the tour into Google Calendar, Outlook, or PMS-native calendars — keeping the lead inside the funnel.
More capabilities
When a caller specifically requests a leasing consultant or asks a question outside AI scope, Frontdesk performs a warm transfer with full context — so the consultant doesn’t restart the conversation.
For REITs and property management companies, Frontdesk routes overflow calls intelligently across sister properties — keeping the prospect inside the portfolio when one community is full.
