The Problem
SFR portfolios are scattered across markets and neighborhoods. There’s no leasing office at every home, so most prospect calls go to a central queue — and most aren’t answered in time.
SFR operators with portfolios across Phoenix, Atlanta, Tampa, and Dallas need coverage across time zones. A traditional call center runs six figures per year — too much for most operators.
Detached homes generate more maintenance than apartments: HVAC, plumbing, roofs, fences, lawn care, irrigation, garages. Residents call about all of it — and a small ops team can’t keep up.
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 routes inbound calls and ILS leads to the right home and market, qualifies prospects with SFR-aware questions (yard, garage, pets, schools), and books tours into your team’s calendar or self-guided system.
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
Most SFR tours are self-guided. Frontdesk integrates with PointCentral, Latch, Schlage, and Yale to schedule tours, provision codes per window, and send arrival and pet-policy instructions.
More capabilities
Residents call, text, or chat about HVAC, plumbing, roof, lawn, irrigation, and home-system issues. Frontdesk triages urgency, escalates emergencies live, and dispatches the right vendor.
Bidirectional sync with AppFolio (the dominant SFR PMS), DoorLoop, TenantCloud, Yardi Breeze, RealPage, Entrata Core, Buildium, ResMan, and Rent Manager.
Frontdesk reads ledger balances and lease-expiration dates from your SFR PMS, runs renewal cadences and rent-reminder campaigns, and writes payment plans back to the ledger.

The journey
Every step syncs to Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, AppFolio, Buildium, or ResMan in real time.
Step 1
Inbound voice calls, outbound AI voice, SMS, WhatsApp, web chat, email, ILS lead forms (Apartments.com, Zillow Rentals, Zumper, Rent.com, ApartmentList, HotPads, Realtor.com Rentals), and walk-in inquiries are answered instantly with portfolio-aware context — across multifamily apartment communities, build-to-rent (BTR), single-family rental (SFR), student housing, senior living, and affordable / LIHTC properties.
Step 2
Guest cards, work orders, renewals, payment notes, hardship flags, and tour bookings flow into Yardi Voyager 7S, Yardi Breeze, RentCafe, RealPage OneSite, Knock CRM, Entrata Core, AppFolio Realm-X, Buildium, ResMan, Rent Manager, MRI Software, DoorLoop, TenantCloud, and Funnel CRM in real time. Calendar sync with Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, and PMS-native calendars. No double-entry.
Step 3
No-show recovery within 5 minutes, dormant-lead reactivation, 90/60/30/15-day renewal cadences, day-of-due rent reminders, tiered delinquency outreach, payment-plan negotiation, autopay enrollment, maintenance status updates, and Google review requests fire automatically — with the right cadence and channel per resident persona.
Step 4
Cross-property dashboards track speed-to-lead, tour-booked rate, tour-to-lease conversion, no-show rate, recovery rate, average maintenance SLA, emergency response time, renewal rate, delinquency reduction, payroll savings, and NOI impact — across every community. AI call scoring and QA flags replace mystery shopping.
