Online rental marketplace Apartment List is providing its advanced GenAI leasing agent Lea Pro to property management partners at no cost. Launched in March, Lea Pro acts as a sales representative and proactively communicates with prospective renters through phone, email, chat and text to answer their questions, schedule tours and follow up on inquiries.
This unique offer means that property management partners can nurture and qualify potential renters, regardless of whether they originate from Apartment List, the property’s website, or any other source. Lea Pro’s capabilities extend beyond traditional chatbots, offering a personalized and seamless experience for renters throughout their entire leasing journey. Early results reveal a savings of 42 hours of leasing agent time per property weekly, a 68% boost in lead-to-tour conversions and engaging prospects in English and Spanish.
“For property managers, this presents a groundbreaking opportunity to consistently nurture leads while also providing an exceptional renter experience,” said Matthew Woods, CEO of Apartment List. “By offering Lea Pro for free, partners eliminate immense third-party costs and accelerate their business growth.”
Lea Pro is designed to augment leasing efforts by being available 24/7 to answer questions and schedule tours, effectively moving prospective renters through the decision-making process.
“Our partners are overwhelmed trying to provide timely responses to the modern renter while managing an onslaught of leads,” added Woods. “”We’re thrilled to offer Lea Pro for free, as a consistent, automated game-changer for their leasing teams.”
Apartment List acquired AI technology startup, Diffe. Rent and began developing its leasing AI assistant, Lea, in 2021. The newly announced “Lea Pro” offering represents the company’s most advanced conversational Gen AI product to date.
