Frontdesk’s Virtual Tour Booking Assistant qualifies prospects, books live virtual walkthroughs or sends self-serve 3D tour links instantly, and syncs everything back to your PMS guest card. Relocators, out-of-state renters, and military families get a tour booked the moment they inquire — without waiting for a leasing agent to respond.
Designed for multifamily operators chasing relocator, military, and remote-renter pipeline who can’t walk a property in person. Bidirectional integration with Yardi Voyager, RealPage OneSite, Entrata Core, AppFolio Realm-X, Buildium, and ResMan. Captures and qualifies prospects from Apartments.com, Zillow Rentals, Zumper, Rent.com, ApartmentList, HotPads, Realtor.com Rentals, and Craigslist across conventional, lease-up, build-to-rent, student housing, senior living, and corporate housing portfolios. Replaces EliseAI, Funnel, Zuma, Respage, Yardi Chat IQ, and Entrata ELI+ for the virtual-tour workflow.

The Problem
A renter relocating from a different time zone can’t wait 18 hours for a leasing-agent callback. Without instant virtual-tour booking, they move on to a competitor community whose chatbot at least offered a 3D walkthrough link.
Matterport, Asteroom, GeniePad, and CloudPano links live in marketing tools that don’t sync to Yardi RentCafe, Knock CRM, or Entrata. Prospects request a virtual tour and the guest card never gets the link attached.
A leasing consultant has to verify availability on Zoom or Google Meet, send a calendar invite, attach floor plans, and follow up with a recording. At 30+ requests a week, that’s a full day of leasing-agent time gone.

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?”
Prospects request a virtual tour via voice, SMS, web chat, WhatsApp, or email — and the AI books a live Zoom or Google Meet walkthrough, or sends a Matterport / CloudPano / Asteroom self-serve link, in under 30 seconds.
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
The AI qualifies prospects on budget, move-in date, occupants, pets, parking, and Section 8 / housing-voucher status before booking. Unqualified leads get routed to alternate floor plans or a wait-list instead of consuming a leasing-agent slot.
More capabilities
Virtual tour link, recording, calendar invite, and prospect notes all sync back to Yardi RentCafe, RealPage OneSite, Knock CRM, Entrata Core, AppFolio Realm-X, Buildium, ResMan, and Funnel CRM. No double entry — leasing agents pick up the conversation already in context.
After every virtual tour, Frontdesk fires an application-nudge sequence across SMS, voice, and email — with the recording, floor plan, and application link in the first message. Tour-to-application conversion typically lifts 25–40%.
