Why firms switch

Template sites look identical

PMW-style templates bury your brand and offer no indexable area pages. Owners compare three firms that look the same — and pick whoever answers first.

Leads die in shared inboxes

Owner inquiries arrive after hours and sit unassigned. Tenants and agents get the same generic form. No pipeline means no accountability.

Growth tools do not sync with your PMS

Marketing platforms want to replace Buildium or AppFolio. You need listing sync and portal deep links — not another accounting system.

Business Plan tier — custom site + vertical pack included

Your PMS runs operations. Nobody owns growth.

Independent PM firms invest in Buildium or AppFolio for leases and accounting — then bolt on template websites that look like every competitor. Owner leads hit generic contact forms, after-hours calls go to voicemail, and there is no dedicated pipeline to measure what actually converts.

A growth layer on top of your existing stack

Legible Marketing gives you a custom Next.js site with area SEO, rental search, owner consultation funnels, and an AI widget that routes owner vs tenant vs agent intent. Listings sync from your PMS. Owners still log into Buildium — we deep-link, never rebuild auth.

Everything in your industry pack

Every feature maps to a real product capability — not marketing filler.

Vertical CRM pipelines

Dedicated owner, tenant, agent referral, commercial, and HOA pipelines with PM-specific stages and automated nurture sequences.

Property intake on leads

Attach units, portfolios, and service areas to every lead so your team closes with full context — not scattered inbox threads.

AI widget intent routing

Visitors choose owner, tenant, or agent intent. After-hours questions route to CRM with transcripts instead of voicemail.

Listings feed & rental search

Indexable rental search with area SEO pages. Vacancies stay current via PMS sync or URL/CSV/XML catalog feeds.

Buildium Open API connector

Active rental listings and units sync from Buildium Premium. Portal deep links send owners to your existing login — no rebuilt auth.

AppFolio Stack connector

OAuth listing sync for AppFolio Plus/Max clients on Enterprise. LM Stack partner approval guided in onboarding.

Lodgify STR connector

Vacation and short-term rental property sync via API key — ideal for PM firms with mixed long-term and STR portfolios.

Propertyware connector

RealPage Propertyware marketing listings sync on Enterprise with partner credentials and read-only safety defaults.

Rent Manager connector

Web API v12 online listings sync for larger operators who need enterprise-grade vacancy publishing.

Agent referral tracking

Capture referring agents with attribution, pipeline stages, and automated thank-you nurture — grow your referral network systematically.

Reputation & GBP management

Review request workflows and Google Business Profile alignment when approved — turn satisfied owners into public proof.

Vertical analytics

Owner lead source attribution, funnel conversion, and campaign ROI dashboards built for PM growth — not generic marketing reports.

How it works end-to-end

  1. 1

    Discover on Google

    Owners find your indexable area landing pages and rental search — not a clone of three competitors on the same template.

  2. 2

    Engage with intent routing

    The AI widget and consultation forms capture owner intent, qualify after hours, and create CRM records with full transcripts.

  3. 3

    Sync live vacancies

    Buildium Open API, Lodgify, or a generic feed keeps your public search current without manual updates.

  4. 4

    Nurture in owner pipeline

    Automated email and SMS sequences move prospects through PM-specific stages until they book a management consultation.

  5. 5

    Close and hand off to PMS

    Signed owners receive portal deep links to your existing Buildium or AppFolio login — accounting stays where it belongs.

FAQ

Do I need Buildium Premium API?

For live Buildium sync, yes. Otherwise use a generic listings feed or manual sync — the wizard detects missing API access and links to help.

Does Legible replace Buildium or AppFolio?

No. We sync listings and route leads; accounting, leases, and portals stay in your PMS.

How fast can we launch owner lead funnels?

Most firms publish a custom site, widget, and owner pipeline within two weeks. PMS sync can run in parallel once API credentials are ready.

Can the AI widget route owners, tenants, and agents differently?

Yes — intent routing sends owners to consultation forms, tenants to maintenance FAQs and portal links, and agents to your referral program.

Do you support bilingual owner marketing?

Yes — full en/es/pt site paths and widget copy for markets that need Spanish or Portuguese alongside English.

What about reputation and Google Business Profile?

The PM pack includes reputation workflows when GBP is approved — review requests and monitoring tied to your CRM, not a separate tool.

How does pricing compare to LeadSimple or template PM sites?

Professional starts at $549/mo with custom site and PM pack. You get SEO ownership and PMS sync — not a shared template or a full PMS replacement.

Who handles US-based support and onboarding?

Legible is US-headquartered with guided setup, integration validation, and portal training included in onboarding.
