Choosing a leasing platform
Whether AI answers your phone, not only texts. Whether the price is published and month to month. Whether self-guided tours run on the locks you already own. Which PMS it syncs with both ways, and whether it works without one. And whether it publishes results in signed leases, not only replies.
Yes, on the Hybrid plan, in English and Spanish, with a minute pool in the per-door price ($0.20 a minute beyond it). It transfers the caller to your team when a person should take it.
Not with HappiNest. It works with the smart locks you already own, including SentriLock, igloo, August, Yale and Schlage. We don't make our own hardware, so your locks keep working if you ever leave. Need locks? We can supply them below retail.
Multifamily, single family, scattered sites, manufactured housing communities, co-living, student housing, RV parks and campgrounds. The agent answers about the homes, beds or sites you list, with your rules for each property.
With HappiNest, yes: contacts, conversations, tours, applications and signed leases live in HappiNest until you add a PMS.
Yes. Run HappiNest alongside your current tool for the first month: free on Rent Manager and Rentvine, a pilot on other systems or without a PMS. Then decide.
