Why Property Managers Need an Answering Service

Tenant emergencies don't follow a 9-to-5 schedule. When pipes burst or locks break at midnight, your phone rings—ready or not.

After-Hours Emergencies

Water leaks, lockouts, and HVAC failures happen at 2 AM. You're either answering calls all night or risking major property damage.

Constant Interruptions

Routine questions about pool hours or rent due dates interrupt your day. You spend more time on calls than managing properties.

Tenant Turnover Costs

Poor communication is the #1 reason tenants leave. Each turnover costs an average of $4,000 in lost rent and repairs.

Small Issues Become Big Problems

A slow leak ignored overnight becomes a flooded unit by morning. Delayed response turns $200 repairs into $10,000 disasters.

What Property Managers Say About Our Answering Service

"I manage 200 units and used to get calls at 2 AM about clogged toilets. Now AI handles the triage—true emergencies get dispatched, everything else waits until morning. I finally sleep through the night."

David Park

Property Manager • Chicago IL

"Our tenant retention improved 22% since we started using Vozexo. Tenants feel heard when they can always reach someone. The ROI from reduced turnover alone pays for the service 10x over."

Maria Santos

Portfolio Manager • Houston TX

"Last month, AI caught a water heater failure at 11 PM and dispatched our plumber before major damage occurred. Saved us easily $15,000 in water damage. That one call paid for years of service."

Property Management Answering Service FAQ

How does emergency triage work?

We customize emergency protocols based on your exact requirements. You define what constitutes a true emergency (water leaks, no heat in winter, lockouts, gas smells) vs. routine issues. When a tenant calls, AI asks qualifying questions and either dispatches your on-call vendor immediately or logs the request for next business day. You stay in control.

Can it dispatch my preferred vendors?

Yes! We store your vendor contact list—plumbers, electricians, HVAC techs, locksmiths, etc. When an emergency is identified, AI calls your preferred vendor immediately and provides them with the tenant's information and issue details. If the primary vendor doesn't answer, it moves to your backup.

Does it integrate with my property management software?

Yes, we integrate with all major property management platforms including AppFolio, Buildium, Rent Manager, Yardi, and Propertyware. Maintenance requests logged by AI sync directly to your system—no manual data entry. Tenant records are accessible so AI can verify callers.

What if I manage multiple properties?

No problem. Our property management answering service can handle multiple properties with different phone numbers, different emergency protocols, and different vendor lists. Tenants call their property's number and get a customized experience. You get consolidated reporting across your portfolio.

How much does a property management answering service cost?

Our property management answering service starts at $49/month. Compare that to the cost of one tenant turnover ($4,000+), one water damage incident ($10,000+), or your sanity from never sleeping through the night. One prevented emergency pays for years of service.
