How much would you pay to find out about the failed experience in real time — and have a chance of winning that resident back?

Real Time Feedback provides you and your team with
The resident's info
Name, email, and cell — everything you need to reach out personally.
Specifically why
Their exact words — not a guess — so you can respond with real context.
Upset level 1–5
Know exactly how urgent the situation is before you pick up the phone.
Who they worked with
Pinpoint which team member or department needs attention.
A crafted response
AI-assisted messaging tailored to the situation — ready to send immediately.

What if you knew
before they left?

Imagine that resident right now — frustrated, quietly planning to move out and leave a scathing review online. Real Time Feedback gives them a private outlet before it goes public. You get the chance to fix the issue and keep them.

That window — seconds to minutes — is the only moment you can change the outcome.

See how it works
1
Resident receives a short feedback text
A simple rating request sent automatically. No long surveys. Residents actually respond.
2
Negative ratings go directly to management
Unhappy residents share feedback privately — not on Google or Yelp. Your property manager is alerted instantly.
3
You reach out and win them back
A fast, personal response turns a detractor into a loyal resident — before word-of-mouth damage begins.
4
Happy residents leave 5-star reviews and renew leases
Satisfied residents are automatically directed to the review sites that influence future lease decisions.
A final thought

It's called the service
recovery paradox.

The simplest explanation: a resident whose problem was handled really well ends up more loyal than a resident who never had a problem at all.

In other words, a great recovery can leave a stronger impression than a flawless experience.
