Alex

"Hi, I'm looking for a 2-bedroom apartment. Do you have anything available?"

The Problem

INDEPENDENT LIVING COMMUNITIES
ARE LOSING RESIDENTS

You're losing prospective residents every day your apartments sit empty. Adult children call at midnight, no-shows waste your time, and your team can't keep up with tour requests.

You Miss Calls When It Matters Most

An adult daughter researches communities at 10 PM, calls, and gets voicemail. By the time you check messages in the morning, her mom has already toured with another community that answered immediately.

The Cost
$3,200/month
Lost per vacant apartment

Your Team Is Drowning in Calls

While you're conducting a community tour, three more calls come in. Activity RSVPs, maintenance requests, lease inquiries—you can't be everywhere at once. Prospects get frustrated waiting, and you lose residents to competitors.

The Cost
60+ calls/day
Per community director

Tours No-Show and You Lose Them Forever

You clear your schedule, prepare the model apartment, set up refreshments. They don't show. You send one follow-up email that gets ignored. That's it—they're gone to another community. No second chance, just wasted time and another empty apartment.
