What did we take on when we brought management in-house?
An apartment owner with about 4,000 homes brought property management in-house last year. Before buying more, the President wants one way of working across every community. Korravo interviewed about 100 people.
Where AI helps first
Maintenance request triageAI Fit7.8Need to Solve8.0
The problem
Requests wait to be read and sorted, many of them sent overnight. The repair itself is quick.
Why it ranks first
AI Fit: residents describe problems in their own words, and AI can do the first read for urgency and trade.Need to Solve: every hour saved is an hour sooner to the repair.
What AI could do
AI reads each resident's request, suggests urgency and trade, and drafts the dispatch. Someone confirms before it goes out.
What could come back
- Korravo's estimate
- About 340 hours a year could come back, and requests reach a vendor sooner.How we got there: About 18,000 requests a year at about 3 minutes each to read and sort, with AI suggesting urgency and trade for someone to confirm.
- From the team
- 7 of 9 people who sort requests named it a daily burden.
- Next step
- Try AI sorting at five communities in one metro area.
