AI, automation, and centralized operations drive 33% increase in tour-to-lease conversion and provide operational flexibility 

Sept. 13, 2023, TAMPA, FLFunnel Leasing, the only Renter Management Software platform, today announced a new client, QuadReal Property Group, a global real estate investment, operating and development company headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia is now using Funnel’s multifamily CRM and Virtual Leasing Agent (VLA) products across its more than 10,000 unit portfolio across Canada. 

Funnel’s unique renter-centric architecture, connected CRM, and VLA products unlock operational flexibility through specialized roles and centralized teams for QuadReal. Prior to using Funnel, the QuadReal team was only able to centralize 50% of their properties due to the technology constraints they faced. Since adding Funnel, they centralized their lead management and leasing processes at all properties, which frees up onsite teams to focus their attention on high-impact customer service with touring prospective renters and caring for current residents. With Funnel live portfolio-wide, tour-to-lease conversions increased by 33%.

“We are thrilled to lead the Canadian market with our move to Funnel,” said Christine Williams, VP of National Operations and Administration. “Funnel is driving more vested leads to our properties, because their AI solution is answering prospective renters’ questions instantly, they’re no longer arriving to the tour with lingering questions. We are thrilled with the streamlined experience this is providing our renters, our teams, and the operational flexibility that it allows through centralization.”
