AI receptionist for property managers

Property management phones never stop: tenants with maintenance issues, prospects asking about vacancies, owners checking in. An AI receptionist answers every call and text, logs maintenance requests, routes true emergencies to your on-call tech and books showings for prospects, so nothing slips through after hours.

Rules that matter in your industry

Fair housing

Give every prospect the same information and process. Never steer, screen or describe who should live somewhere.

Real emergencies

Safety first: gas, fire and medical emergencies go to 911 or the utility, then to your team.

Consistent policies

Load your actual pet, deposit and application policies so answers match.

Consent for texting

Text tenants and prospects who agreed to texts, with an easy opt-out.

Before you turn it on

  • Define what counts as an emergency. And who gets alerted.
  • Load current vacancies and policies. Keep them updated.
  • Set showing availability. By property and agent.
  • Review fair housing language. Answers describe units and policies only.

This page is general information, not legal advice. Follow federal, state and local fair housing laws.
