A property management automation specialist builds the workflows that route maintenance requests to vendors, send rent reminders and late notices, trigger lease renewal sequences, and move applicants through tenant screening without anyone doing it by hand. They work inside AppFolio, Buildium, Rent Manager and the tools a property management team already runs.
Last updated
Your AppFolio dashboard shows 40 open maintenance tickets. Half the vendors never confirmed. Three lease renewals expire next month and the tenants have not heard from you. On the first, you will spend four hours checking who paid and sending the late notices manually.
A work order that sits unanswered for three days costs a tenant relationship, and a lease that lapses to month-to-month costs you the renewal fee and the leverage to raise rent on schedule.
Every work order assigned, confirmed and status-updated without a phone call.
Reminders go out on schedule and late notices post automatically after the grace period.
Every expiring lease gets a renewal offer, a DocuSign, and a follow-up, on time.
One specialist, one flat price, and every workflow they build belongs to you.
A dedicated specialist working your business hours, including the rent-cycle crunch days when notices, follow-ups and vendor chasing all land at once.
No setup fee. No contract. Stop whenever you want.
Never scoped, never billed per project. The backlog just keeps moving.
Everything is built in your own tools. Cancel and it all keeps running.

Maintenance tickets used to pile up because nobody confirmed the vendor. Now the work order goes out, the vendor gets a text, and the tenant gets a status update, all without us touching it. The queue cleared in the first week.
Greg T.Property Manager, 140-unit portfolioVerified clientI was manually chasing lease renewals in a spreadsheet. We set up a 90-day trigger and now every expiring lease gets the renewal offer, the DocuSign, and a follow-up sequence. Signed three renewals I probably would have missed.
Sandra K.Owner, boutique property management companyVerified clientMonth-to-month, cancel whenever you want. If your specialist is not the right fit, we replace them free. And every workflow lives in your own accounts, so it stays yours either way.

Every specialist is matched by hand to your stack, your tools and your timezone, which caps how many businesses we can start properly. When this month is full, the next start date is the following month.
One flat fee.
Your dedicated AI Automation Specialist for Property Management, 20 hours a week.
Month-to-month. No setup fee. Cancel anytime and keep every workflow.
Thirty minutes. Bring your messiest week. You leave with the three workflows worth automating first, sequenced and yours to keep. If we're a fit, your specialist starts within a week.
Maintenance request routing and vendor dispatch, rent reminders and late-fee notices, lease renewal sequences, tenant screening follow-up, owner reporting, and move-in and move-out checklists. The intro call maps which workflow is costing your team the most time right now.
Yes. Both platforms have APIs and webhook integrations that the specialist connects to Make, Zapier or n8n. Rent Manager, Propertyware and DoorLoop are also supported. Your specialist builds around the software you already run rather than asking you to switch.
Yes, and it is usually the first build. A tenant submits a request, Claude triages the category and urgency, the right vendor gets a work order by text or email, and the tenant gets an ETA update, all without a property manager in the loop. Completion confirmation closes the ticket.
A trigger fires 90 days before each lease expiration. The tenant receives a renewal offer by email and SMS. A DocuSign goes out when they agree to terms. If no action is taken within five days, a follow-up goes out. Every step logs back to your PMS.
Your specialist builds the notice templates and timing rules to match your state and local requirements. Notices go out in your name and on your letterhead. Anything that requires a licensed property manager to sign off is routed to you rather than sent automatically.
Yes. When an application arrives, the specialist wires the screening service, sends status updates to applicants at each stage, and routes completed applications to the right person for a decision. Adverse action notices and approval letters go out automatically once the decision is made.
No. You describe the outcome you want, approve the workflow before it goes live, and get a plain-English rundown of how it works. The specialist handles all the tool configuration.
Every specialist signs an NDA and works on least-access credentials. They build workflows that keep sensitive data inside your existing PMS rather than copying it to third-party services. Data security is part of their Academy training.
The minimum portfolio that makes sense is roughly 30 to 40 units, because that is where maintenance and renewal volume creates enough repetitive work to fill 20 hours a week. The intro call will tell you honestly if it fits your situation.
Thirty minutes on your messiest week. The three workflows worth automating first are yours to keep either way.
