## Why Sona Is a Better Answering Service for Property Managers

### 1. Handle maintenance emergencies 24/7

Burst pipes, lockouts, and HVAC failures happen at 2 AM. Sona picks up every call, collects the unit number, issue type, severity, and tenant contact info, and delivers it to your team instantly. For true emergencies, Sona can refer callers to 911.

### 2. Answer leasing questions automatically

Prospective tenants call about availability, pricing, pet policies, and move-in dates. Train Sona on your portfolio details and it handles these FAQs without your team lifting a phone. Leads are captured with contact info and preferences for follow-up.

### 3. More cost-effective

Traditional property management answering services charge $200–$400+/month with per-minute overages. Sona charges a flat fee for the first 40 calls/month, then $1 per call. No per-minute billing, even for lengthy maintenance calls.

### 4. Visibility across your portfolio

Every call — tenant maintenance, leasing inquiry, vendor coordination — appears in your Quo inbox with summaries and transcripts. No more chasing a third-party answering service for call logs.
