Dallas, TX – SunRidge Management Group, a premier multi-family property management company overseeing 130 properties and 25,000 units nationwide, continues to enhance operational efficiency and renter engagement through innovative AI solutions. Most recently, SunRidge implemented A-List Nurture, an AI-driven leasing automation tool designed to support after-hours lead response, tour scheduling, and consistent follow-up. Within the first 30 days, the platform delivered faster conversions, reduced onsite workload, and measurable cost savings—strengthening the company’s commitment to high-quality service and modern leasing operations.
Meeting the Challenge
Like many multifamily operators, SunRidge sought a way to expand leasing coverage beyond standard business hours without increasing staffing costs. Prospects were engaging late into the evening, yet scaling team coverage to match that demand wasn’t feasible. The team initially tested an AI solution through their CRM, but escalating expenses made it unsustainable.
SunRidge needed a tool that could deliver reliable, round-the-clock support while aligning with budget expectations—an AI solution that could be tested quickly, trusted by onsite teams, and scaled across the portfolio if proven effective.
Implementing A-List Nurture
When SunRidge discovered A-List Nurture, the team identified a platform purpose-built for multifamily leasing workflows. With capabilities including automated prospect nurturing, instant after-hours engagement, and seamless tour scheduling, the tool offered a streamlined path to expand coverage without additional headcount.
The team launched a pilot at a single community to evaluate performance, functionality, and renter experience. Onboarding was fast, communication from the A-List team was proactive, and the AI began converting leads with human-level responsiveness from day one.
“We didn’t want to break the bank trying to expand our leasing coverage, and A-List Nurture was the perfect fit. It gave us the after-hours support we needed without the big price tag. We saw results right away—more tours booked and faster conversions—and the onboarding was seamless. After our pilot, it was a no-brainer to roll it out to more communities.”
— Whitney Miller, Vice President of Marketing, SunRidge Management Group (Dallas, TX)
Results and Impact
The impact of the pilot was immediate. Prospects were nurtured through the funnel overnight, and onsite teams arrived each morning to ready-to-tour leads already scheduled in the CRM. Performance metrics showed strong engagement, significant labor savings, and improved consistency in follow-up.
Key Performance Highlights:
SunRidge was able to onboard 21 properties in just five days, and year-to-date data showed that nearly half of all leads were submitted after hours. The platform maintained a 97% contact engagement rate, and an impressive 81% of tours were booked outside traditional business hours. Additionally, each property saw an average annual savings of $4,200, making the value of the platform both measurable and meaningful.
These results reinforced A-List Nurture as a high-impact solution that accelerates leasing velocity while alleviating pressure on onsite staff.
Scaling Across the Portfolio
Following the successful 30-day pilot, SunRidge rapidly expanded A-List Nurture across additional communities. Thanks to lightweight onboarding and seamless integration with existing systems, scaling was efficient and consistent. With clear ROI, positive onsite feedback, and strong operational results, adoption continued to grow.
Today, 34 properties across the SunRidge portfolio leverage A-List Nurture to support their leasing operations—transforming what began as a single-community trial into a standardized, portfolio-wide strategy.
Driving Smarter Leasing Through AI
With A-List Nurture, SunRidge gained access to always-on renter engagement that captures every opportunity, paired with hands-off automation that supports onsite teams without replacing them. The platform delivered fast, measurable ROI that continued to grow as adoption expanded across the portfolio, further strengthening SunRidge’s commitment to efficient, modern leasing practices.
