Apartment List and Funnel integrations enhance the renter journey
Expands 24/7 AI assistance and tour booking to shared clients
San Francisco, CA (November 23, 2022) – Apartment List, the leading rental marketplace powered by AI technology has partnered with Funnel, the only Renter Management Software platform, to build innovative integrations for the multifamily industry. The new enhancements, Lea Lite and Tour Booking, provide a seamless and efficient leasing journey for both renters and shared clients, starting from the very first engagement on Apartment List.
With this integration, Funnel’s Renter Management Software is paired with Apartment List’s Lea Lite, an AI tool that helps pre-qualify renters, to ensure properties receive the right leads at the right time. Lea Lite also provides renters with omnichannel assistance around the clock by immediately responding to their inquiries.
Funnel has also unlocked Apartment List’s Tour Booking feature for renters, who can now book an appointment with properties directly to tour their potential future home. This feature saves properties time by eliminating the back-and-forth between renters and leasing agents.
“We’re excited about this integration with Funnel – this effort enables a better connection into Apartment List’s AI technology for our mutual clients as well as a seamless tour booking experience for our renters,” said Ryan Hawkins, Senior Director, Revenue Analytics and Partnerships at Apartment List. “Apartment List’s mission is to deliver every renter a home they love, and by partnering with Funnel in this way, we are doing just that for renters, leasing agents and property management companies.”

About Funnel Leasing
Funnel exists so multifamily operators don’t have to pick between antiquated monopolies or single solution challengers. After decades of the status quo, operators are no more efficient, and renters still dread the process of leasing an apartment. We fixed that with an independent platform that turns the entire business model on its head. Renter Management Software is a new category of connected tools built around the renter. The software delivers a consistent, connected experience from first inquiry through years of renewals. All this while simultaneously saving operators quantifiable money through the smaller, and happier teams that only a renter-centric platform can enable.
