How urgent calls reach you

- Emergency by your rules? Your on-call maintenance tech, vendor or manager is reached and the issue is passed on.
- Not an emergency? The request is logged and sent to your office for the morning.
- Every call is recorded, so you have a record of what the tenant reported and when.

Questions
Can you handle several properties with different rules?
Yes. Each property can have its own greeting, emergency rules and contacts.
What happens with an urgent call?
You decide what counts as urgent and who gets reached. The representative follows your rules: page or text your on-call person, patch the caller through, or keep trying the next contact until someone answers.
How much does an answering service cost?
Our plans run from $75 to $999 per 4-week billing period, with 50 to 1,000 minutes included. Extra minutes are $1.05 to $1.25 depending on the plan. There is a one-time $50 setup fee and a refundable deposit equal to one plan rate.
Are your representatives real people in the United States?
Yes. Calls are answered live by trained representatives at our call center in Wilmington, North Carolina, with U.S. based backup representatives for overflow and storms. We do not use AI to answer calls, and we never send calls overseas.
Is there a contract?
No long-term contract. There is a one-month minimum, then service continues month to month. Give 30 days’ written notice to cancel and your deposit is returned once your account is paid in full.
