AI answering service for property management — tenant calls 24/7
Handle maintenance emergencies, leasing inquiries, and tenant calls around the clock. Our AI receptionist triages urgent issues, books tours, and keeps your tenants happy — all for less than the cost of one hour of after-hours staffing per month.
THE AFTER-HOURS MAINTENANCE PROBLEM
67% of maintenance emergencies happen outside business hours
Burst pipes at midnight. Heating failures on Christmas Eve. Lockouts at 3 AM. Property management research shows that 67% of maintenance emergencies happen outside normal business hours — exactly when your office phone goes to voicemail. When a tenant with a flooded apartment can't reach anyone, frustration turns into negative reviews, lease non-renewals, and even legal liability.
Traditional property management call centers charge $3-$8 per call and still put tenants on hold. Hiring overnight staff costs $40,000+ per year. Most property managers end up giving out their personal cell phone number — and losing their nights and weekends.
Aira's AI answering service for property management solves this for a fraction of the cost. Our AI receptionist answers every tenant call on the first ring, triages maintenance emergencies using your exact protocols, and only wakes you up for true emergencies. Everything else is logged professionally for your morning review.
INTELLIGENT MAINTENANCE TRIAGE
AI-powered emergency triage that follows your exact protocols
Not every maintenance call is an emergency. Our AI knows the difference and acts accordingly — so you sleep through the dripping faucets and wake up for the burst pipes.
Smart escalation for property managers
During setup, you define what counts as a true emergency — burst pipes, gas leaks, security breaches, no heat in winter, electrical hazards. When a tenant calls, Aira asks targeted questions to assess the situation: What's happening? When did it start? Is there immediate danger? Based on your protocols, it either escalates immediately to your on-call maintenance team or logs the request for next-business-day follow-up. Every call includes unit number, issue details, and access instructions.
Handle tenant calls without interrupting your day
Rent payment questions, lease renewal inquiries, noise complaints, parking issues — tenants call about everything, and they expect answers immediately. Aira handles the routine calls that consume hours of your day, providing accurate responses based on your property information. Tenants get instant service, and you get detailed call summaries instead of constant interruptions.
Convert leasing inquiries into signed leases
When a prospective tenant calls about a vacant unit, they're usually calling multiple properties. The first to respond wins. Aira answers leasing inquiries instantly — providing unit details, pricing, pet policies, and availability — then schedules tours directly into your calendar. You'll never lose a qualified prospect to voicemail again.
Route maintenance requests to the right vendor automatically
Plumbing issue? Route to your plumber. Electrical problem? Route to your electrician. Aira can be configured to route different maintenance categories to different vendors or team members, complete with unit number, issue description, and tenant contact information. Your vendors get the details they need to respond faster, and your tenants get faster resolutions.
