For property managers with 50 to 2,000 units

Answer tenant texts at 2am without hiring night staff.

PropertyBrain replies to residents by text, web chat and email using your own leases and house rules. It logs maintenance with photos and unit details, and pages your on-call tech when it's a real emergency.

No credit card to start. Most teams are live in under an hour.

Hi, water is coming through the ceiling in my bathroom. Unit 2B
I'm sorry, that sounds stressful. I've logged an emergency plumbing ticket (#4127) for unit 2B and paged the on-call technician, Diego.

If you can, turn off the water valve behind the toilet. Can you send a photo of the ceiling?

Got it, attached to the ticket. Diego confirmed he's on his way, ETA 35 minutes.

How it works

Live before your next after-hours call.

  1. 1

    Upload what you already have

    Leases, house rules, pet and parking policies, amenity hours. Import units and residents from an AppFolio or Buildium rent roll. PropertyBrain only answers from these documents.

  2. 2

    Give residents one number

    We assign a local texting number and a chat widget for your website. Put them on lease packets and the QR posters we generate for each building.

  3. 3

    Your team handles the exceptions

    Routine questions get answered. Maintenance becomes a complete work order. Anything uncertain, sensitive or urgent goes to the right person, with an SLA timer so nothing sits overnight.

Time saved

What a 300-unit portfolio gets back.

Residents in a typical portfolio send 1 to 2 messages per unit per month. About two thirds are questions your documents already answer: rent due dates, trash day, gate codes, pool hours.

Estimate assumes 1.5 messages per unit per month, 65% answered automatically, 6 minutes saved per answer, and a $25 per hour loaded staff cost.

FAQ

Questions managers ask us.

Something else? Email info@propertybrain.us.

What happens when the AI doesn't know the answer?

It says so, tells the resident a person will follow up, and routes the conversation to the assigned agent with an SLA timer. It does not guess.

Do residents know they're talking to an AI?

Yes. The chat and texts disclose it, as several states now require. Staff replies are clearly labelled as coming from your team.

Does it work with AppFolio or Buildium?

Today you import units and residents from a rent roll CSV in one upload. Live two-way sync is on the roadmap.

How do emergencies work at night?

Gas, flooding, fire, no heat and similar issues are flagged as emergencies, the resident is told to call 911 if anyone is in danger, and your on-call person is notified straight away. If nobody picks up within 15 minutes, it escalates.

What about fair housing?

PropertyBrain never makes leasing, screening or accommodation decisions. Those topics are always handed to a person. Read our AI and fair housing notice.

What does texting cost?

Texting is included in Growth and Pro, with a local number per company. There are no per-message charges for normal use.

Can I cancel?

Yes, any time, from the billing page. You keep access until the end of the month you've paid for, and you can export your data.
