The five critical questions that prevent costly mistakes and drive real ROI for your multifamily properties.
Read more

Selecting the wrong tech tools costs properties thousands in lost revenue annually. 

When it comes to AI leasing tools, the stakes are even higher – your choice directly impacts prospect experience, team efficiency, and, ultimately, your occupancy rates.

To help you navigate this decision, we sat down with Hannah Bailey, Senior Marketing Manager at Raintree Partners, who has extensive experience evaluating and implementing property technology solutions. 

Before joining Raintree Partners, Hannah worked at Greystar, giving her unique insights into tech implementation at both large and mid-sized property management/ownership groups.

Having recently worked through the process of selecting the right AI leasing solution for Raintree’s portfolio, Hannah understands the challenges firsthand.

Vendor partners need to understand that this is a significant decision for marketing and sales leaders. After experiencing challenges with previous integration promises, I've learned to be more systematic in evaluating new potential technology partners.

Let's dive into the five essential questions that will help you make a confident, informed decision about your AI leasing tools! 

1. How solid are the integration capabilities?

For Hannah, this is the absolute deal-breaker.

If you don't have set, proven integration with our PMS system, there is no reason to waste both party's time.

Your AI tool needs to:

  • Demonstrate proven integration with your property management software
  • Show clean data flow in your CRM
  • Have real-time pricing and availability updates
  • Work seamlessly with your existing systems

Pro tip: Ask for a demo using your specific PMS/CRM combination. Watch how the integration handles real-world scenarios like price changes or tour scheduling.

2. What's the quality of Account Management and Support?

While features and functionality are crucial, the success of your AI leasing implementation often hinges on the quality of support you receive. 

A dedicated account manager who understands both the technology and multifamily industry can make the difference between a smooth rollout and a challenging transition.

Look for:

  • Ability to meet your account manager before purchase
  • Dedicated support contact
  • Clear communication with on-site teams
  • Proven track record of successful implementations
After our great experience with Zuma's customer success team, I recommend asking all potential vendor partners to meet who you will be working with on that team. Your customer success representative has to be good, or else the rollout will likely be rocky.

3. How user-friendly is the system?

For property teams juggling multiple responsibilities, a complex system can hurt more than help.

When evaluating user-friendliness, involve your on-site teams in the process. Their day-to-day experience with the system will ultimately determine its success in driving results for your property.

Key considerations include:

  • Clean, intuitive interface
  • Clear visibility of all prospect interactions
  • Easy access to conversation histories
  • Simple tour scheduling process
  • Minimal training requirements
  • Quick access to key features and information
If I don't understand the program, as someone who is specifically searching for this solution, how can we expect the personnel on-site to work with it and buy in?

4. How does it handle prospect communication?

Today's renters expect instant, personalized communication that meets them where they are. 

The traditional approach of bulk emails and delayed responses no longer aligns with modern consumer expectations. With data showing that prospects are 28% less likely to respond after just 18 minutes, the method and timing of communication can make or break your leasing success.

From: Zuma Response Time Case Study
The multifamily industry needs to evolve beyond mass emails and generic follow-ups. Modern renters, myself included, prefer quick, personalized interactions that respect their time and communication preferences.

Make sure you look for:

  • Quick response and 24/7 Coverage
  • Customization based on your brand and prospect interests
  • Multi-language support
  • Ability to share media and floor plans in conversation
  • Seamless hand-offs between AI and human team

The best AI solutions strike a balance between efficiency and personalization. 

They should handle high volumes of inquiries while maintaining the natural, conversational tone that builds trust with prospects. Remember, every interaction is an opportunity to showcase your property's commitment to resident satisfaction.

As Hannah notes from her experience with Zuma:

I love how fast it is, it's real-time and so simple. The responses are accurate because of the knowledge base system, and Kelsey takes the facts and makes them more conversational.

5. What evidence supports your ROI?

When investing in AI leasing technology, you need both historical proof of success and a clear path to measuring future performance. The best decisions are backed by data, not promises.

Before committing, ensure you:

1. Validate Past Performance:

  • Speak with existing customers about their experiences
  • Review case studies and success metrics
  • Understand implementation timelines

2. Define Success Metrics:

  • Occupancy rates
  • Lead-to-tour conversion rates
  • Tour show rates 
  • Response time improvements
  • Team time savings
  • Marketing spend efficiency

3. Establish Clear ROI Measurements:

  • Cost per lease
  • Staff productivity gains
  • Occupancy impact
  • Revenue growth
From: The 3 Metrics Every Multifamily Property Manager Should Track

Properties successfully implementing AI leasing tools typically see 20-30% improvements in lead-to-tour conversion rates and significant reductions in response times. 

The key is running a focused pilot program with clear success metrics. This allows you to gather actionable data about the solution's impact on your specific portfolio before making a broader commitment.

Making Your Decision

Take your time evaluating options. As Hannah advises:

I'm not piloting numerous new products at once. If I'm going to pilot something, I want it to be manageable and thoughtful so I can actually measure the results.

Track these key metrics during your evaluation:

  • Response times (learn more about the importance of quick responses)
  • Lead-to-tour conversion rates
  • Tour show rates
  • Team satisfaction
  • Prospect feedback

Transform your multifamily property's conversion rates with 5 data-backed strategies.

When it comes to Multifamily Lead-to-Lease conversions, there’s no silver bullet. 

But there is an arsenal of tools & tricks that can get more tenants through the door.

After analyzing over 100,000 multifamily units and millions of prospect interactions, we've uncovered five powerful strategies that can transform your conversion rates – without increasing your marketing spend.

If you're a property manager or marketing director looking to maximize your marketing ROI, this one’s for you. 

The Power of Data-Driven Decisions

Before sharing these game-changing strategies, let's look at what we analyzed:

  • Response patterns from 100,000+ units
  • Millions of prospect conversations
  • Conversion data across every major ILS
  • Tour completion rates from thousands of properties

The result? We identified five specific strategies that consistently deliver outstanding results. Best of all? You won’t have to increase your marketing budget.

1. Engage with your leads faster, 24/7

Here's a powerful discovery: Properties that respond within 5-18 minutes capture twice as many conversions as those that don't. We've documented this effect across thousands of properties – it's remarkably consistent.

The winning strategy is to implement automation, so you can achieve sub-5-minute response times, every time. The data shows this single change can double your conversion rates.

Tour scheduling timing also matters: Properties scheduling tours within 3 days see 85% show rates. Beyond 10 days? That drops to 40%.

→ Quick win: Optimize your touring calendar to prioritize the 72-hour window. One property implementing this doubled their show rates in just two weeks! 

Start implementing these response time best practices today, and you'll see the impact on your conversion rates almost immediately.

2. Optimize your channel strategy

Top performers have cracked the communication code. Here's what the data shows:

  • SMS response rate: 62%
  • Email response rate: 12-18%

That's right – your prospects are 5x more likely to engage via text.

Leading properties are using AI to optimize their communication mix. They're seeing 30% higher engagement rates without adding staff.

The message is clear: prioritize SMS in your communication strategy while maintaining a strategic email presence for longer-form content and follow-ups. This balanced approach is key to maximizing your reach and response rates.

3. Diversify your lead sources

Speaking of having a balanced approach, our analysis of lead sources across thousands of units shows dramatic differences in conversion rates - from as low as 7% to as high as 46%. 

For example, we’ve seen Zillow leads convert at 46.2% for some properties, while other sources show varying performance. 

The key takeaway here is to diversify your lead sources. This will allow you to analyze the data and invest your marketing dollars in the sources that are converting more leads. Remember to focus on conversion rates, not only on the number of leads coming in.

4. Improve your messaging style and language

We've identified the messaging patterns that consistently drive higher conversion rates by analyzing millions of conversations. 

Here are three big takeaways: 

  1. Timing is crucial: Messages sent mid-morning (10 AM) or mid-afternoon (2-3 PM) on Tuesdays and Thursdays typically receive the highest engagement rates, avoiding Monday's crowded inboxes and Friday's weekend mindset.
  2. Messages should include clear, specific calls-to-action (like "Reply SHOW for photos and pricing") and appropriate seasonal emojis to boost engagement, though emoji usage should be moderate and contextually relevant.
  3. Creating genuine urgency through specific, believable deadlines (e.g., "$1,000 move-in special expires tomorrow at noon") is effective, especially when aligned with natural decision points like month-end or lease renewals.

And here’s our complete guide to SMS messaging for Multifamily Properties → 

5. Balance AI with Human touch

Smart automation is revolutionizing multifamily leasing.

Properties leveraging AI-powered tools are:

  • Saving 200+ hours annually on routine tasks
  • Capturing 51% more after-hours inquiries
  • Achieving 2.4x higher conversion rates The strategy? Combining AI efficiency with human touch

Properties using this approach see:

  • 2-minute average response times
  • 44.8% higher lead-to-lease conversion rates
  • Enhanced prospect experience

We like to think of AI as an "Iron Man suit" for your leasing team – it doesn't replace them, it amplifies their capabilities. 

When AI handles routine inquiries and repetitive tasks, your team can focus on what they do best: building meaningful relationships, providing personalized tours, and creating exceptional resident experiences. 

This balanced approach isn't just about efficiency – it's about elevating the entire leasing experience to meet modern resident expectations for both speed and personal connection.

The data is clear: properties that embrace this human-AI partnership are setting new standards for resident experience and will continue to extend their competitive advantage in the years ahead.

No more "call back during office hours" as AI handles instant responses and routine tasks, letting teams focus on what matters most.
Read more

POV: Your marketing team just spent $50k on a campaign that brought in 100 qualified leads over the weekend. Sadly, by Monday morning, half of those leads have already booked tours on your competitor's property. 

Why? 

Because in the age of instant gratification, "call back during office hours" might as well be saying, "go lease somewhere else."

When your team takes longer than 90 minutes to respond to a prospect, you lose 50% of your potential leads. For a typical luxury property spending $600,000 annually on marketing, that's $300,000 essentially thrown away due to delayed responses.

read our "response time case study"

New [better] POV: Your leasing team arrives Monday morning to find every weekend lead already pre-qualified, tours scheduled, and not a single prospect lost to a competitor. 

This isn't a property manager's daydream – it's the reality for multifamily teams using AI in 2025. 

Learn how you can:

  • Respond to prospects in 2 minutes
  • Convert 2x more leads into tours
  • Save your team years of manual work so they can focus on what matters most

Keep reading to uncover the five game-changing ways AI is transforming property management in 2025.

Challenges & Solutions for Multifamily Property Management in 2025 

Meet Sarah, marketing director for a luxury apartment community in Dallas. 

Her Monday mornings represent the three biggest challenges facing multifamily teams today:

1) The Operational Efficiency Gap

Sarah’s team is trapped in an endless cycle of manual and mundane tasks while valuable relationship-building time slips away.

⭐ Solution: Implement AI-powered automation tools to streamline repetitive tasks like data entry, reporting, and communication. 

One property using Zuma's AI assistant saved their team 21.9 years' worth of time in 2024 alone by automating routine leasing tasks. This frees up the team to focus on high-value activities that drive resident satisfaction and retention.

2) New Resident Expectations

The era of "call back during office hours" is over. In a world of instant everything, residents expect seamless digital experiences throughout their entire rental journey. 

Solution: Adopt a mobile-first resident engagement portal that allows renters to get answers on vacancies, schedule tours, apply for units, pay rent, submit maintenance requests, reserve amenities, and communicate with staff 24/7. 

With Zuma's AI assistant Kelsey, properties have seen a 53% improvement in overall responsiveness by providing instant, personalized attention across voice, text, and email in multiple languages.

3) Inefficient Lead-to-lease Conversion Rates

Marketing brings in leads, but delayed responses and inconsistent follow-ups allow them to slip away as they move on to faster-responding properties.

Solution: Use AI-powered lead nurturing campaigns to engage prospects instantly and use a centralized CRM to track all interactions – so you can gain data-driven insights on marketing performance and optimize, optimize, optimize!  

With Kelsey, properties have reached 2-4 minute average response times, 44.8% higher lead-to-lease conversion rates, and a 30% increase in lead-to-tour conversions.

Dig deeper into the metrics every multifamily property manager should track!

AI + Humans: The Dynamic Duo of Property Management

While AI is revolutionizing property management operations, its true potential lies in transforming the roles of on-site teams. Rather than replacing humans, AI empowers property staff to focus on higher-value activities that drive resident satisfaction and asset performance.

When AI handles routine tasks, teams focus on:

  • Building meaningful resident relationships
  • Handling complex situations requiring judgment
  • Creating community experiences
  • Making strategic decisions based on AI insights

The most successful properties in 2025 will be those that embrace AI not as a human replacement but as a tool to elevate their people. 

By marrying artificial intelligence with human judgment, multifamily operators can create a new paradigm of property management that delivers unprecedented value to residents, investors, and staff alike.

Success Story: The Power of AI in Action

Hannah Bailey, Senior Marketing Manager at Raintree Partners, reports: "Zuma helped us increase our response rates by 30% and improve lead-to-tour conversions by 20-30%. But the real transformation was in how our team operates."

Read our case study with Raintree Partners here!

Key Takeaways for 2025

  1. The multifamily industry is changing rapidly, and resident expectations aren't going back to the old way of doing things.
  2. AI isn't about replacing your team – it's about empowering them to do more meaningful work.
  3. The properties that adapt now will have a significant competitive advantage in the years to come.

Double Your Response Rates: 5 SMS Tips for Multifamily Property Managers

The modern renter doesn't want to play phone tag or wait days for an email response. They want instant, clear communication about their potential new home. 

And the numbers don't lie - SMS is crushing email when it comes to engagement rates. Our data shows SMS achieves 62% engagement (vs email's 12-18%). 

But here's the problem: most properties are doing SMS marketing completely wrong. They're sending short stories instead of notes, using confusing (or zero) calls-to-action, and wondering why their conversion rates are stuck in the mud.

So, here are 5 easy things you can do to change that. ✅

1. Keep It Short and Sweet

Nobody wants to read a novel on their phone. Our highest-performing messages all share one trait: they deliver clear information in under 160 characters.

For example: "Brand new units at The Madison now available! Virtual tours starting at $1,850/month!" It’s concise and includes the main entry points of information a lead is looking for: Price & Location. 

If the person is interested, they will follow up with more questions, and you can keep the ball rolling while always keeping it concise. 

Want to learn more about tracking your marketing performance? Check out our guide on The 3 Metrics Every Multifamily Property Manager Should Track in 2025.

2. Add Clear Calls-to-Action

Make it dead simple for prospects to take the next step. Instead of vague "contact us" messages, give them a specific action to take.

Winner: "Want to see our available units? Reply SHOW to get photos and pricing."

Calls to action are a great way to keep engagement up, making it easier for leads to flow along the rental customer journey. 

3. Use Themed Emojis (But Don't Overdo It)

Visual elements boost engagement, but context is key. Match your emojis to your message theme and season.

An example that works: "❄️ Baby, it's cold outside! Stay cozy in our newly renovated apartments featuring in-unit fireplaces. Tour today and warm up with complimentary hot cocoa! ⛄"

The takeaway here is to use the same language as your leads. Emojis are a key element of texting, so don’t be afraid to use them! 

4. Time Your Messages Right

Ok, so you crafted some short, snappy text with a simple CTA and a dash of emojis - but your message means nothing if it lands at the wrong time. Our data shows Tuesdays and Thursdays get the highest engagement rates. Why? Monday inboxes are too crowded, and Friday minds are already in weekend mode.

Pro tip: Mid-morning (around 10 am) or mid-afternoon (2-3 pm) typically perform best.

Speaking of timing…

5. Create Urgency with Clear Deadlines

Nothing motivates action like a deadline. But here's the key: make it specific and believable.

Good example: "$1,000 move-in special expires tomorrow at noon. Lock in your rate before then! 📞"

Remember to follow through on stated deadlines to maintain trust and try to align promotions with natural decision points like month-end or lease renewals. This creates genuine urgency while ensuring your team can handle response volumes.

A Bonus Tip That Changes Everything

Here's what nobody talks about: response time matters more than anything else. 

Our data shows leads are 28% less likely to respond after just 18 minutes (read the full case study on response times here). 

This means that if set up instant responses to common questions and watch your conversion rates soar.

Remember: The best SMS marketing feels like a helpful conversation, not a sales pitch. Keep it human, keep it relevant, and most importantly, keep it brief.

Metrics & Analytics

Are you still guessing what's causing your occupancy rate fluctuations? Time to switch gears.

Are you still guessing what's causing your occupancy rate fluctuations? Time to switch gears. 

In multifamily property management, the difference between thriving and struggling communities often comes down to tracking just three key metrics

While your competitors drown in spreadsheets, you're about to learn exactly which metrics actually matter for your bottom line and how to impact them. 

TL;DR: Focus on occupancy rate (it’s not about hitting 100%), track your entire leasing funnel (with specific conversion benchmarks), and monitor renewal rates (target 65%+). 

Property managers who master these three metrics consistently outperform their peers in occupancy and revenue. Surprisingly, many still focus on vanity metrics that don't drive real results. 

Let's change that.

1. Occupancy Rate: Your Property's North Star

Think of occupancy rate as your property's pulse – it tells you immediately if something's wrong. 

However, the optimal occupancy rate isn't always about hitting the highest possible number. At Zuma, we call this race towards full occupancy the “98% fever” because it’s not always a good thing.

Here's why: A strategic vacancy rate of 2-3% actually gives you room to test the market and optimize your pricing. Counter-intuitively, running at 100% occupancy might signal you're leaving money on the table with your pricing strategy. 

The sweet spot allows you to:

  • Test different price points in the market
  • Maintain pricing leverage
  • Optimize renewal rates effectively
  • Respond to seasonal demand fluctuations

But back to optimal rates – here's what most people miss: occupancy rate is a "lagging" indicator. This means that by the time you see occupancy rates dropping unexpectedly, the underlying issues have already taken root. 🌱 And this is why you have to keep a close eye on the factors that influence occupancy before problems arise.

2. Prospect to Lease Conversion Rate: Your Leasing Funnel Deep Dive 

To figure out how you can maintain a healthy occupancy, you need to watch out for crucial conversion points throughout your leasing funnel and analyze the leads that didn’t convert.

Conversion Points in Your Leasing Funnel

Prospect Lead Volume: Are you generating enough leads through advertising channels like ILS listings, website traffic, and drive-by inquiries? A decline here might signal the need for better marketing strategies.

Prospect-to-Tour Conversion Rate: How well are your leads converting into scheduled tours? This reflects your initial communication effectiveness and property marketing.

Tour-to-Application Rate: Are prospects who tour submitting applications? Low rates here could indicate issues with pricing, amenities, or overall appeal.

Application-to-Lease Rate: Are applications converting to leases? Bottlenecks might reveal issues with background checks, unclear processes, or leasing team delays.

Lost Lead Analysis: Learning from the Ones That Got Away

Understanding why prospects don't convert is pure gold. 

👇 Track these key areas:

  • Pricing concerns
  • Competitor offerings
  • Amenity preferences

👉 So you can optimize:

  • Pricing strategy to match market expectations
  • Sales team training for common objections
  • Marketing focus on priority features

By identifying where prospects drop off and why they don't convert, property managers can make data-driven improvements that directly impact occupancy rates. 

But getting new residents is only half the battle – keeping them is equally crucial for maintaining healthy occupancy.

3. Renewal Rates: Your Resident Retention Foundation 

Renewal rates represent the percentage of existing residents who choose to renew their leases. 

High renewal rates = resident satisfaction, community stability, reduced turnover costs, and low vacancy rates.

What Drives Renewal Decisions?

🥰️ Resident Satisfaction: Quick maintenance response and professional management

💸 Pricing Sensitivity: Fair renewal rates relative to market and property quality

💬 Community Engagement: Events and amenities that build belonging

🏡 Unit Condition: Well-maintained and improved units over time

What To Track:

🔎 Advance Notice Trends: Early renewal intentions vs. last-minute decisions

🔎 Non-Renewal Reasons: Track specific causes (relocation, pricing, amenities)

🔎 Resident Tenure Patterns: Monitor average tenancy duration for improvement insights

By focusing on these renewal factors and tracking key indicators, property managers can spot potential issues before they lead to move-outs. 

While the industry average renewal rate is 50-55%, top properties hit 65% or higher by staying ahead of resident needs. 

Remember: every renewal isn't just saved turnover costs – it's a resident choosing your community as their home.

How Do We Measure at Zuma?

At Zuma, we provide property managers with advanced tools to measure and analyze occupancy and renewal rates along with their key inputs. Our AI leasing assistant, Kelsey, helps property managers act on real-time data and make informed decisions to drive better outcomes.

Key Features of Zuma's Metrics Tracking:

  • Funnel Analytics Dashboard: A visual dashboard breaks down each step in the leasing funnel—from lead generation to lease signing. This allows property managers to identify exactly where prospects are dropping off and why.
  • Lost Lead Reporting: Zuma categorizes and visualizes lost lead reasons, helping property managers adjust pricing, marketing, or operational strategies.
  • Customizable Reporting: Property managers can generate reports on conversion rates, lead sources, and more to benchmark their performance over time or across properties.

The Impact of Targeting the Right Metrics

Magnolia Capital, which manages over 7,000 units, saw a 25% reduction in available units within just 11 weeks of implementing Zuma

The key? Engaging prospects when they're most active - which, surprisingly, is often after office hours. In fact, 60% of prospect engagement happens outside traditional business hours.

Success Starts with the Right Focus

In today's competitive multifamily market, success isn't about tracking every possible metric – it's about mastering the ones that truly matter. 

By focusing on occupancy rate as your north star, understanding your leasing funnel's conversion points, and nurturing your renewal rates, you create a powerful framework for sustainable property performance.

Remember: These aren't just numbers on a spreadsheet. They're indicators of your community's health, your team's effectiveness, and your residents' satisfaction. When you get these three metrics right, everything else tends to fall into place.

Are you ready to transform your property's performance? Start by auditing these three essential metrics today. Your future occupancy rates will thank you.
