Sample Landlord Reference

This is a sample call demonstrating how MakeCalls.io interviews a previous landlord about a tenant's rental history.

Every question you'd ask - answered

Our AI doesn't accept "they were fine." It probes for specifics.

Did they pay rent on time - every month?

Any property damage beyond normal wear?

Lease violations or neighbor complaints?

Did they break the lease early?

Would you rent to them again?

Is this reference even legit - or their buddy?

Everything you need to decide

Not a summary. The whole picture.

Full Recording

Listen to the actual conversation. Hear the hesitations, the tone, the things a form can't capture.

Complete Transcript

Every word, searchable and shareable. Forward it to your team or keep it in the file.

Structured Report

Key answers extracted and organized - payment history, property condition, would-rent-again, all in one view.

How it works

Three people, one seamless flow. You just kick it off.

1
You (Property Manager)

Submit a reference request

Enter your applicant's name and email. Pay $15. That's it - you're done until results arrive.

2
Your Applicant

Applicant provides landlord's info

They get a secure link to enter their previous landlord's name, phone number, and relationship. Takes 60 seconds.

3
Previous Landlord

Landlord gets an invite

We reach out to the landlord with options: "Call me now," "Call me later," or "Use a different number." They choose what works for them.

4
Previous Landlord

3-minute AI interview

Our AI calls and asks the hard questions - payment history, property damage, lease compliance, would-rent-again. It probes vague answers.

5
You (Property Manager)

Results delivered to your inbox

You get an email with a link to your complete report - recording, transcript, and structured data. Review and decide.

6

Automatic follow-ups

If the applicant or landlord goes dark, we nudge them automatically. You never have to chase anyone.

Why this beats doing it yourself

You became a property manager to manage properties, not play phone tag.

Kill the phone tag

Landlords pick when to take the call. No more "I'll try again tomorrow" for two weeks straight.

Ask the awkward questions

Our AI has no social anxiety. It asks about late payments and property damage without flinching.

Real documentation

Full recording and transcript. If things go sideways with a tenant, you have proof of what was said - not scribbled notes.

Close faster

Good tenants don't wait around. Get references done in hours instead of days and lock them in before someone else does.

Consistent every time

Same thorough questions, same structured output. No more "I forgot to ask about the lease break" moments.

$15 vs. $50 in your time

The average reference check takes 3-4 call attempts. At your hourly rate, that's $25-50 in labor. This is $15, done.

Simple pricing

Pay per reference. No subscriptions. No minimums. No contracts.
