The Problem
A bilingual leasing agent solves one language. The next language you need on the same property — Mandarin, Vietnamese, Russian — is another hire, another salary, another schedule.
Third-party language lines add latency, sound robotic, and turn a 3-minute qualifying call into a 12-minute relay.
The prospect calls in Mandarin, then texts in English the next day. Most stacks treat those as two records, in two languages, with no shared context.
Operators run ads on WeChat, Univision, and local-language sites, then route the lead to an English-only call queue.
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?”
Frontdesk detects the caller's language within the first few words and continues the conversation natively — no menu, no "press 2 for".
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
Voice, SMS, and webchat share the same brain across languages — the prospect's preferred language carries from first call to renewal.
More capabilities
Day-3, day-7, and reactivation outreach all run in the language the prospect first called in — no manual translation step.
Your compliance and leasing teams still read transcripts in English, with the original-language audio attached. Fair housing guardrails apply identically across every language.
