AI receptionist for property management
Takes maintenance requests from tenants around the clock, sorts emergencies from routine fixes, and answers rental enquiries with each building's own details.

CallerHi, I'm calling about the two-bedroom you listed, is it still available?
CallerMy rent came out twice this month, who handles that?

Warm transfer: If a tenant reports a flood, fire damage, no heat in winter or a break-in, the agent warm-transfers to the on-call property manager.

Why property managers miss calls, and what an AI receptionist changes
Property managers get calls from three groups at once: tenants with maintenance problems, prospects asking about vacancies, and owners wanting updates. Most of the urgent ones arrive at night and on weekends, when the office is closed and the person on call is trying to sleep. A traditional answering service takes a message, but it can't tell a running toilet from a burst pipe.
A RealVoice AI receptionist knows each of your buildings. It logs maintenance requests with unit numbers, photos by text and access instructions, tells tenants what to do while they wait, and only wakes the on-call manager for real emergencies: floods, fire damage, no heat in winter, break-ins and lockouts where the rules call for it.
During the day, it answers rental enquiries from each listing's own details, books viewings into the leasing agent's calendar, and sends rent and lease questions to accounting as clean messages instead of voicemail.
Example call, start to finish
- CallerHi, it's unit 4B at 220 Elm. The heat's been off since this morning and it's really cold.
- AI receptionistI'm sorry, that's not okay in this weather. Are the radiators cold everywhere in the unit, or just one room?
- CallerEverywhere. My neighbour says hers is off too.
- AI receptionistThat sounds like a building issue, so I'm treating it as urgent. I'm connecting you to the on-call property manager now, and I'll log it so the superintendent sees it too.
- AI receptionist(privately, to the manager) No heat across at least two units at 220 Elm since this morning. Tenant in 4B on the line. Connecting.
After the call: The manager takes the call with the building and the scope already known, and a maintenance record is waiting with the caller's details for the follow-up.

- Notices
- Owners and managers can tell the agent to announce a water shut-off or elevator outage to every caller until it's fixed.
Your software
Today it books viewings into the RealVoice schedule and logs maintenance requests in the RealVoice portal, with the unit, the problem and access details attached. If you run Yardi, MRI Software, Property Vista, Condo Control or BuildingLink, the team can set up a connection to it; custom integrations are quoted separately.
What a missed call costs
A vacancy that sits empty an extra month costs a full month's rent, and prospects who can't reach anyone simply call the next listing. On the maintenance side, one missed overnight flood call can turn a small leak into a multi-unit insurance claim. The calculator on our homepage helps put numbers on your own portfolio.
Questions property managers ask
Can it tell emergencies from routine requests?
Yes. You define the emergency list, such as floods, fire, no heat or a break-in, and everything else is logged as a regular maintenance request.
Does it know each building's details?
Yes. It answers from per-building information you provide: addresses, amenities, parking, pet rules and contact procedures.
Can it book viewings?
Yes. It books viewings into the leasing schedule in the RealVoice portal and texts the prospect a confirmation.
Can tenants text or email it too?
Yes. The agent can have its own email address and answer texts, so tenants can reach it whichever way they prefer.
What does it do with rent disputes?
It doesn't negotiate or make promises. It takes a detailed message for accounting and tells the tenant when to expect a response, based on your instructions.
