# Lead Routing & Speed-to-Lead for Residential Property Managers with AppFolio

> AI routes new leads instantly to the right agent in AppFolio based on geography, price band, and availability, drafts the first response, and books the showing — speed-to-lead drops from 47 minutes to under 5.

## The Problem

Single-Family / Small Multifamily leads come in at all hours from Zillow, Realtor.com, IDX, and AppFolio — and the team that responds inside 5 minutes wins 8x more often. Manual routing burns the window.

## What We Build in AppFolio

AI routes new leads instantly to the right agent in AppFolio based on geography, price band, and availability, drafts the first response, and books the showing — speed-to-lead drops from 47 minutes to under 5. Purpose-built for teams running AppFolio — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

## AppFolio Integration Approach

1. **Audit your AppFolio configuration.** We map the specific AppFolio objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your single-family / small multifamily practice.
2. **Build on the AppFolio API or agent.** Integration happens inside AppFolio — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.
3. **Human-in-the-loop handoff.** Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in AppFolio with full context — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
