Frontdesk negotiates lease renewals on voice, SMS, and email with strict guardrails on rent increase, concessions, term length, and add-ons. Pricing decisions flow into Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, AppFolio, Buildium, and ResMan with full audit trail and DocuSign / Adobe Sign routing.
An AI renewal negotiation assistant purpose-built for multifamily operators, REITs, BTR portfolios, student housing, senior housing, and affordable communities. Replaces inconsistent on-site negotiation, ad-hoc concessions, and untracked verbal agreements with a policy-aware AI that handles every renewal conversation across ILS-sourced residents, RentCafe portals, RealPage OneSite, Entrata, AppFolio Realm-X, Buildium, and ResMan. Unlike EliseAI, Colleen AI, or MeetElise renewal flows, Frontdesk negotiates lease term, rent increase, concessions, parking, pet rent, and unit upgrades end-to-end within your revenue-management bands.

The Problem
Without revenue-management context, on-site staff offer free months, parking comps, or zero increases to keep residents — destroying NOI that AIRM, YieldStar, or LRO worked to build.
Concessions promised over the phone vanish from Yardi, RealPage OneSite, Entrata, AppFolio, Buildium, or ResMan. Auditors and asset managers cannot reconcile actual vs. policy.
Two residents in identical units get different offers from different leasing consultants. Fair-housing risk plus revenue leakage.
How Frontdesk Works
Built for multifamily operators on Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, AppFolio, Buildium, ResMan — and every other major PMS.

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?”
Configure rent-increase floor/ceiling, allowed concession menu, term flexibility, and add-on pricing per property or per unit type. AI never exceeds guardrails — escalates to human instead.
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
Pulls pricing recommendations from RealPage AIRM/YieldStar/LRO, Yardi Revenue IQ, and other revenue-management systems. AI negotiates within the recommended band, not against it.
More capabilities
Residents negotiate on whichever channel they prefer — voice, SMS, email, or web chat — and the AI maintains a single negotiation thread with full context.
Every offer, counter, and final term is logged with timestamp, channel, and policy-band verification. Asset managers can audit every renewal in Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, AppFolio, Buildium, or ResMan.
Once terms are agreed, Frontdesk generates the renewal lease from your PMS template, routes via DocuSign or Adobe Sign, and writes signed terms back to Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, AppFolio, Buildium, or ResMan.
