The Problem
In Texas, California, Florida, Arizona, Nevada, and Illinois, a quarter to half of inbound rental inquiries arrive in Spanish. English-only IVR and voicemail systems lose those prospects within seconds.
Traditional answering services (PATLive, AnswerConnect) often route Spanish-speaking callers through an English script — leading to immediate hang-ups and reputation damage.
Most multifamily chat widgets are English-first with bolt-on translation — leading to awkward conversations, lost nuance, and lower conversion in Spanish.
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 speaks fluent Spanish in voice and chat — auto-detecting on the first turn, with culturally-aware phrasing and natural conversation depth (not literal translation).
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
Spanish-speaking prospects complete full qualification (budget, move-in, occupants, pets, parking, employment, voucher) in their preferred language — and matched against live PMS inventory.
More capabilities
Tour bookings, confirmations, and 24h, 2h, and 30-minute reminders all fire in Spanish — keeping the prospect engaged through the entire funnel.
Frontdesk supports the full bilingual residency lifecycle — maintenance intake in Spanish, renewals, delinquency outreach, and Google review requests — all in the resident’s preferred language.
