The Problem

 
## A tenant with no heat at midnight will not wait until morning.

 
A tenant calling about a burst pipe at 11pm on a Friday who reaches voicemail does not wait patiently until Monday. By Saturday afternoon you have an angry tenant, water damage that got worse overnight, and a liability exposure that a same-night response would have prevented.

Common Questions

 
## What property managers ask before switching.

 

 

 

 
### Can dolfyn tell the difference between a real maintenance emergency and a routine request?

 
Yes. The agent asks qualifying questions to identify genuine emergencies like burst pipes, flooding, no heat, gas smells, and lockouts, and escalates those immediately to your on-call maintenance contact. Routine requests like a dripping faucet get logged as a standard work order instead.

 

 

 
### Can it handle calls for multiple properties or buildings?

 
Yes. dolfyn can be configured with a specific escalation chain per property or building, so it knows which on-call contact or vendor to route each call to depending on the address or unit the caller mentions.

 

 

 
### Does it integrate with AppFolio, Buildium, or Yardi?

 
dolfyn can connect to AppFolio, Buildium, Yardi, and most major property management platforms if you want call details logged directly into your system. Integration is available, not required.

 

 

 
### Can it screen prospective tenants and book showings?

 
Yes. The agent can answer questions about availability, pricing, and amenities, ask pre-qualification questions, and book showings directly into your calendar for qualified prospects.

 

 

 
### What does setup actually involve?

 
A short onboarding call to learn your properties, escalation rules, leasing criteria, and how you want emergency maintenance calls handled. The agent is typically ready within 1-2 business days, included in the price.
