CompanionPMA handles the make-readies, unit turns, video inspections, vendor reminders, showing codes, insurance certificates and collections tasks.
It runs alongside AppFolio, Buildium, or whatever you already use. Keep your system. Companion picks up everything that lives on sticky notes. Built by an operator and proven on ~280 of our own doors.
Flip the switch to see what happens when the stuff your PM software doesn't track finally has somewhere to go.
Vendor texts: "Which unit? What's the gate code?" You dig through three threads to find out.
The vendor opened a magic link. Unit, to-do, photos and schedule, all there. No login, no password reset.Vendor portal
You drive across town to let a prospect in. They're running late.
The prospect got their lockbox code by text. You stayed at your desk.Showing codes
Move-out walk: a camera roll full of photos. One has a note that just says "fix… this?"
You filmed the walk, circled the stain, and said "replace this blind." The to-dos wrote themselves.Video inspection
Turns out the plumber's insurance expired. Nobody noticed. He's already on site.
The expiring certificate was flagged ahead of time, with this year's coverage compared to last year's.Insurance tracking
Wait, were the quarterly filters done? It was on a sticky note. The sticky note is gone.
The recurring task created itself and landed on the right person's list.Recurring tasks
"Who's following up on late rent?" Everybody thought somebody else was.
Every collections task has a task owner and a due date.Collections
Still at the office, re-checking whether the unit is really ready for Friday's move-in.
Unit 4B's make-ready is on track. You're home for dinner.Make-readies
Built for the work between your PM software and the front door.
Walk the unit and talk like you're giving a tour. Draw right on the video with circles and arrows. AI reads the transcript and turns what you said into to-dos, ready to assign.
See which units are turning, what's done, what's waiting, and who has it. No more re-checking a spreadsheet to know whether Friday's move-in is actually ready.
Send a to-do to a vendor, put it on the schedule, and Companion sends the reminder notices. Vendors open a magic link with everything they need. No account, no password.
Manage your lockboxes in one place and send showing codes to prospects by text, automatically. No more driving across town to open a door for someone running 20 minutes late.
Track vendor insurance and certificates (COIs), see what's expiring, and compare this year's coverage to previous years so nothing quietly drops.
Move-in, move-out and periodic inspections, tracked in one place.
Filters, quarterly walks, annual anything. Set it once and the tickets create themselves.
Collections follow-through on the board, each with a task owner and a due date, so nothing falls through.
Owner portal: coming soon. Want early input? Tell us on your demo.
Property management shows up as emails, calls, texts, paper mail and a camera roll full of carpet. Companion gives every piece a home, a task owner and a next step.
Every piece can be switched on or off, so you can start small and add more when you're ready.
CompanionPMA doesn't replace your system of record. It sits next to it and handles the operational work it was never built to track.

AppFolio and Buildium are trademarks of their respective owners. CompanionPMA is independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by them.
We run 979RENT, about 280 doors of student and residential housing in College Station, Texas. Our PM software handled rent and accounting just fine. Everything else ran on sticky notes, group texts and somebody's memory.
Our founder didn't come to this as just a landlord. He spent more than two decades running an IT company, designing and building custom software for clients. So we built the layer we wished existed and ran it on our own doors. Companion isn't a pitch deck. It's how our team actually gets make-readies done before move-in day.
Companion is built so its AI assistant takes the everyday questions, like gate codes, job status and who's on the schedule, in chat and on calls. When something's unusual, it hands you to a real person who runs properties too, with the details already attached, so you never repeat yourself. That's how Companion stays pro-grade without enterprise fees.

Same idea, different doors. If your team runs on sticky notes, group texts and "I thought you had it," Companion gives the work a home and lets AI automation handle the busywork.

Nope. CompanionPMA runs alongside your PM software. Keep using it for rent, accounting and leases; Companion handles the operational work around it. On a demo we'll walk through how it fits your setup.
Companion is designed to run alongside your PM software, not replace it. Bring your questions about your setup to the demo and we'll show you how teams use the two side by side.
Film the unit on your phone and narrate as you go. Draw circles and arrows right on the video to mark what matters. AI reads the transcript and creates the to-dos, which you can assign to vendors and schedule into the make-ready.
No. Vendors get a magic link that opens the job with the details they need. No login, no password. They also get reminder notices for scheduled work.
Companion helps you manage lockboxes and sends showing codes to prospects by text automatically. On your demo, we'll confirm how it works with the lockboxes you use.
Property management companies with roughly 50–500 doors that want pro-grade tools without enterprise fees. Other businesses that want to get organized and use AI automation are welcome too.
[PRICE]. No enterprise fees. Book a demo and we'll walk you through it.
Not yet. An owner portal is coming soon. Tell us what you'd want in it on your demo.
