An AI receptionist for property managers that triages the 11 p.m. maintenance call.
Property managers answer for hundreds of doors. The phone carries leasing inquiries, rent questions, and maintenance requests, and the after-hours ones can mean a flooded unit.
Why the phone matters for property management companies
Most tenant calls fall into a few buckets: maintenance, rent, and showings. Only some are emergencies, and getting that sort right overnight is the job. An agent applies the same rule every time, which is hard to do with a rotating on-call person.
Calls it answers
- Maintenance requests logged with unit, issue, and urgency
- Emergency triage for flooding, no heat, lockouts, and fire
- Leasing inquiries and showing bookings
- Rent-due and payment-portal questions from your approved text
- Calls from owners and vendors routed to the right person
Calls it makes
Outbound calling only goes to people who gave you their number and agreed to be contacted. In the US, AI-generated voices are treated as artificial under consumer calling rules, so we do not build cold-calling.
- Confirming a vendor or maintenance appointment with a tenant
- Showing confirmations for prospects who gave their number
- Rent reminders to tenants who agreed to be contacted
What it collects before anything reaches you
- Name, property, and unit number
- Callback number
- What the problem is and whether it is getting worse
- Permission to enter, if you want it asked
- For leasing calls: move-in date, bedrooms, and budget
When a person takes over
- Fire, gas smell, flooding, or no heat in freezing weather goes to your emergency line right away
- Legal topics such as evictions, deposits, and disputes
- Owner and investor calls
Where it plugs in
Typically connected to AppFolio, Buildium, Yardi, or a ticketing spreadsheet where those allow, with an urgent text alert to the on-call person.
One thing to know up front
Fair-housing rules apply to leasing calls: the agent must treat every prospect the same and never screen on protected characteristics. Its leasing script is reviewed with that in mind.
How a build works
- You describe how calls come inA short call about your real call types, hours, and what a good outcome looks like.
- We write the agent around your rulesYour script, your escalation rules, your wording for anything sensitive. You approve it before it takes a live call.
- It goes live on your numberCalls are answered by the agent and summaries land in your inbox, CRM, or phone.
- We review the calls and correct itEarly call logs are read and the agent is fixed where it handled something badly.
We are a Pakistan-based team and work with US businesses remotely, over calls and a shared project board, with no time-zone dependency on the live agent, which answers around the clock. See how we work with clients outside Pakistan.
