Review requests fire indiscriminately, surfacing detractors publicly
Blast-style review tools send the request to everyone. Unhappy residents leave 1-star reviews on Google and ApartmentRatings, dragging property scores down.
Frontdesk identifies promoters across the resident lifecycle and routes them to Google, Apartments.com, ApartmentRatings, Yelp, and ILS review pages — while detractors get internal-only escalation. Triggers fire from Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, AppFolio, Buildium, and ResMan events.
A purpose-built AI review request automation platform for multifamily operators, REITs, BTR portfolios, student housing, senior living, and SFR communities. Replaces J Turner SatisFacts review batches, Kingsley reputation tools, GatherUp, Birdeye, and Podium manual cadences with lifecycle-triggered, sentiment-gated review requests that pull only promoters toward Google, Apartments.com, ApartmentRatings.com, Yelp, Zillow Rentals, Rent.com, ApartmentList, ApartmentGuide, and Facebook. Unlike EliseAI or Modern Message, Frontdesk gates by NPS, routes by intent, and writes review-completion events back to Yardi RentCafe, RealPage OneSite, Entrata, AppFolio Realm-X, Buildium, and ResMan with attribution per property.

The Problem
Blast-style review tools send the request to everyone. Unhappy residents leave 1-star reviews on Google and ApartmentRatings, dragging property scores down.
The best moment to ask is right after a positive maintenance experience, a renewal signature, or a successful tour — but staff forget in the daily chaos.
Apartments.com, Zillow Rentals, ApartmentList, and Rent.com use review recency and volume in their ranking. Stale reviews mean lower placement and fewer leads.
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?”
Only promoters (NPS 9-10) get pushed to public review sites. Passives get a soft ask. Detractors get an internal escalation — never a public review prompt.
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
AI routes promoters to the platform that needs reviews most — based on recency, gap to portfolio target, and ILS ranking impact.
More capabilities
Requests fire at peak-positive moments — automatically detected from PMS events: positive work-order close, renewal signature, post-tour booking, anniversary milestone.
Not a survey link — a brief conversation. AI confirms the resident is happy, deep-links to the right platform, and follows up gently if they get distracted.
Review-completion events write back to Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, AppFolio, Buildium, and ResMan with attribution per property, per source event, and per asset manager.
