Colby · tenants

Meets tenants where they already are

No app to download, no portal to learn. Colby talks to residents on the channels they use — and remembers their preferences across conversations.

  • WhatsApp, SMS & Telegram, 24/7
  • Answers in the tenant's own language
  • Scoped to just their home — never another unit or ledger
Is trash pickup today or tomorrow?
Tomorrow (Tuesday) before 8 AM for your building 👍 Bins are by the north entrance.
¿y el gimnasio a qué hora abre?
El gimnasio abre de 6 AM a 11 PM todos los días 💪
Colby · lease & rules

Answers from the actual lease — not a generic policy

Pet rules, sublet terms, quiet hours, late fees — Colby searches that market's real lease document, clause by clause, scoped to the tenant asking.

  • Dates, rent, deposit, who's on the lease
  • Pets, parking, sublet, quiet hours, late fees
  • Cites the tenant's own lease, not a template
can I get a second parking spot?
Your lease allows one assigned spot; additional spots are $75/mo if available. Want me to flag it to the office?
yes please
Flagged — they'll follow up on availability 👍
Colby · maintenance

Turns a vague complaint into a clean work order

Colby describes the issue back to confirm it, checks for duplicates, and drops anything that sounds unsafe straight to a human — then files it.

  • Asks for photos and the details staff actually need
  • Offers a safe self-fix first — and files nothing if it works
  • Creates the work order in Buildium with a reference number
kitchen sink is leaking 😟
Let's sort it. Try the shut-off valve under the sink — does that stop the drip?
yes that stopped it!
Great — that keeps it from getting worse. Logged as #55501, team will follow up.
✓ Work order created in Buildium
Maven · staff

Answers your team across the whole portfolio

Maven reads everything staff need — tenants, leases, money, work orders, adoption — right inside your team's channel.

  • Any tenant, lease, or unit by name or address
  • What a lease owes and its exact payment history
  • What similar jobs actually cost — averages, medians
@Maven what's open on 1200 Central?
3 open: #55501 sink leak (unassigned) · #55488 hallway light (in progress) · #55470 garage remote (waiting on vendor).
what did the last 3 sink jobs run?
$140 median, $155 avg — CP-completed.
Maven · the write surface

Nothing changes until a person says go

Every action Maven can take is a draft. A manager reads the exact wording and values, approves, and only then does it happen — and it's all logged.

  • Draft → a manager approves → it happens → it's logged
  • Never invents a confirmation it can't back up
  • Adding staff needs two different managers to sign off
assign the sink leak to Dave, bump priority
Draft → assign #55501 to Dave Ruiz, priority High. Approve to apply?
approve ✅
Done. #55501 → Dave Ruiz, High. Logged: you, 10:42 AM.
Ava · leasing

Turns every inquiry into a guided leasing journey

Ava responds to prospective renters, understands what they're looking for, and guides them from first inquiry through tour, application, lease signing, and move-in — using only the client's approved inventory.

  • Responds to leads across WhatsApp, SMS, email & listing channels
  • Qualifies prospects and recommends matching available units
  • Coordinates tours and follows up on applications, leases & deposits
I'm looking for a 2-bedroom near UC Berkeley, available August 1.
I found two available options that match your move-in date and budget.
Would you prefer an in-person tour or a virtual tour?
In person. Saturday afternoon works.
Saturday at 2:00 PM is available. I've reserved the tour and sent the confirmation — I'll remind you before the appointment.
Bobby · owners

Gives owners the answer and the decision in one place

Bobby turns property data into clear owner updates. Owners can request reports, review operating issues, approve expenses, and track follow-up — without digging through email or scheduling another meeting.

  • Provides property, leasing, maintenance & financial updates
  • Shares reports and supporting documents through clickable links
  • Collects approvals and routes decisions to the operating team
Bobby, can you send me the latest T-12 and rent roll for Oxford?
Of course. I've prepared the latest property package.
There's also one item that needs your approval — the water-heater replacement quote is $6,800, above your approval limit. The unit has failed and the vendor recommends replacement over repair. Approve it?
Yes, approve it.
Approved and recorded. I've routed the authorization to Maven for scheduling and vendor coordination — I'll update you once installation is confirmed.
