Case Study: Bear Property Management achieves higher occupancy and nearly doubled leads with AppFolio

Streamlining Daily Tasks with AppFolio's AI Leasing Assistant, Lisa

Bear Property Management, a Kenosha, WI-based firm managing 1,800+ units across single-family, multifamily, commercial, and community association properties, was struggling to keep up with a high volume of daily leasing leads. Using AppFolio Property Manager PLUS and its AI Leasing Assistant, Lisa, the team found it difficult to respond quickly, especially during leasing season, as agents were bogged down by administrative work.

AppFolio implemented Lisa to automate routine leasing tasks and free agents to spend more time with prospects. The results were strong: Bear Property Management nearly doubled leads for showings, scheduled 400+ showings with Lisa, received 3,500+ online applications, signed 800+ online leases, and saw a nearly 2% occupancy increase within the first few months, reaching a 98% occupancy rate.
