A property management company says AppFolio's AI leasing assistant booked more tours, but fewer of them leased
More guest cards turned into tours, but the tour closing ratio fell nearly 10%.
What they did
A property management company shared its experience with LISA, AppFolio's AI leasing assistant, which answers renter inquiries and schedules tours.
How it went
Per the post, after a little over four months, guest-card-to-tour conversion rose about 5%, but the tour closing ratio fell nearly 10%. They put it down to LISA booking tours without pre-qualifying prospects: questions about move-in timing or rental criteria got pushed to the tour instead of being answered or passed to a human on the leasing team.
Worth knowing
More bookings isn't the goal; more signed leases (or jobs) is. Track the whole funnel, and make the AI ask your qualifying questions before it books.
