When prospective renters inquire, it’s critical to respond quickly. Renters typically have a 2-3 week window and are eager to find a place. We factor this into our automated system that schedules showings right away with interested applicants. A combination of automation and hands on customer service ensures we reply quickly and that we strike while the iron is hot.
