Avery helps property managers fill vacancies faster and resolve maintenance requests automatically. Our AI property manager and leasing agents can be assigned to complete many common tasks, from getting tours scheduled to following up with vendors. There are nearly 300,000 third party property management companies across the US, many of whom are overwhelmed by dozens of repetitive tenant requests streaming in through antiquated software every day. Avery modernizes the property manager’s toolkit with a two-way contact center to provide an excellent resident experience.
