From an inquiry to a tour
Set it up in an afternoon. Prospects keep texting the way they already do.
- 01.
Leasing screen
- Still interested?
- Does the move-in date work?
- Who is moving in?
- Any pets?
Write the screen once
Move-in date, who is moving in, and the pet rule. TextWork asks only what the inquiry did not already answer.
- 02.The place is available in August. Does that work?Yes. Two of us.Any pets?
They answer by text
The prospect replies in the texting app they already use. A deal-breaker ends the thread politely.

Zillow leads by text
An inquiry becomes a text. They never have to open a portal.
Still interested in the house
Good. A few things before a tour:
- Does August work?
- Who is moving in?
- Any pets?
The tour link goes out
As soon as they say yes
Inquiries get a text the same day
1. Move-in, occupants, and pets come back in the thread
2. The tour link goes out when they say yes
3. We ask about the application after they walk through

Property software
A tour does not start in the property software.
AppFolio and Buildium keep the lease, the ledger, and the owner statement. TextWork is where the inquiry gets a text, a screen, and a time to walk the property.
Rent is collected with a Stripe payment link. TextWork does not hold a trust account or produce owner statements. AppFolio, Buildium, and Rentec Direct do.

Questions about leasing
Someone inquires about a rental. TextWork texts them, asks whether the move-in date works, who is moving in, and whether pets fit the rule you wrote, then files a screen.
If they want to see the place, a tour link goes out in the same thread.
Portals get abandoned. A text that asks one question at a time gets answered while they are still looking at the listing.
They stay in the texting app they already use, so you hear back from people who would never create an account.
Yes. Once the screen fits, TextWork asks if they want a tour this week and sends a link to pick a time. You get a text when they book.
An hour after the tour, they get a text asking if they want to start the application.
A Zillow inquiry can open the same thread. TextWork confirms they are still interested in that property, runs the screen, and only sends a tour link if it fits.
Someone who already toured, or who inquired about a second property, is not run through the whole screen again.
You write the rules: move-in window, how many people the place holds, and whether pets are allowed. A deal-breaker ends the conversation with a polite stop, and the screen is still filed.
You can have a first leasing script running the same day. Write the screen, connect the tour page, and start testing conversations immediately.
