Background
A growing real estate and property management firm faced increasing demands from prospective tenants, existing tenants, and property owners. The firm managed a large portfolio of residential and commercial properties, which required frequent communication for inquiries, tenant requests, maintenance issues, and prospective tenant leads. As call volumes rose, the firm struggled with timely responses, tenant satisfaction, and lead follow-ups, resulting in missed opportunities and strained operations.
Challenge

- Operational Inefficiencies: Managing communications for routine tasks like scheduling property viewings, maintenance requests, and answering FAQs took significant time away from high-value activities.
- 24/7 Availability Needs: Tenants needed around-the-clock support, especially for urgent maintenance requests, which was challenging for the firm to handle with existing resources.
