A property manager runs two teams at once. Leasing works tours, applications, and renewals. Maintenance works orders, turns, and vendors. The manager in the middle collects coaching moments and promises from both sides, usually between tours. Docu-Coach™ is the manager app that remembers your people. Say the moment in about ten seconds, and it lands on the team member’s timeline with what was coached and what you committed to. Resident files, applications, screening information, payments, leases, and formal work orders stay in your property-management system. Before the morning stand-up, a 1:1, or the regional meeting, Prep Me lists only what you saved. You promised a follow-up between a tour and a work order. It should not live in your head. Leasing, maintenance, and the community team each create a people moment. Capture the coaching and the commitment. Resident records and work orders stay in the systems built for them. Devon quoted the wrong availability on a tour. The Building C work order sat too long. Alicia stayed late to finish a turn before Saturday’s move-in. Two teams, one manager, and a lot of promises between tours. ## Leasing and maintenance run in parallel. The people follow-ups land on you. Select a moment in either lane, or in the middle where they meet, to see what a property manager records. ### Tour A leasing consultant quotes the wrong availability on a tour. You catch it right after. > “Devon quoted the wrong availability on a tour. We reviewed the vacancy list and he will confirm the unit before the next appointment.” Docu-Coach™ remembers: Devon · Coaching · Quoted the wrong availability on a tour · Commitment: Confirm the unit before the next appointment Stays elsewhere: Prospect and application details stay in your PMS. ### Renewal conversation An assistant handles a tough renewal conversation calmly and follows the script. > “Nina handled a difficult renewal conversation calmly and followed our process. Save that for her 1:1.” Docu-Coach™ remembers: Nina · Recognition · Handled a difficult renewal conversation calmly and by the process · Follow-up: Her next 1:1 Stays elsewhere: Lease terms and renewal pricing stay in your PMS. ### Coaching check-in Between tours you promised Devon a follow-up on the vacancy process. You need to keep it. > “Remind me to check in with Devon Thursday about confirming units before tours.” Docu-Coach™ remembers: Devon · Your follow-up · Coaching on availability accuracy · Follow-up: Check in Thursday ### Vendor status promise Maintenance tells you a Building C work order is stuck waiting on a vendor. You say you will find out. > “The Building C work order sat too long. I told maintenance I would check the vendor status by noon tomorrow.” Docu-Coach™ remembers: Maintenance team · Your follow-up · Building C work order stalled on a vendor · Follow-up: Check vendor status by noon tomorrow ### Work order A tech closes a work order without noting the part that is on backorder. You coach the close-out step. > “Coached Luis on noting backordered parts before closing a work order. He will add the note on every close-out this week.” Docu-Coach™ remembers: Luis · Coaching · Closed a work order without noting a backordered part · Commitment: Note backordered parts on every close-out this week Stays elsewhere: The work-order record stays in your maintenance system. ### Turn and move-in A turn is behind for a Saturday move-in. A maintenance tech stays late and finishes it. > “Alicia stayed late to finish a turn before Saturday’s move-in. Put that recognition on her timeline.” Docu-Coach™ remembers: Alicia · Recognition · Stayed late to finish a turn before a Saturday move-in ## The conversations that disappear first - **Coaching a leasing miss** Wrong availability on a tour is easy to fix in the moment and easy to forget by the next 1:1. - **A work order stuck between resident, vendor, and team** You promised to check on it. Then three tours and a resident call happened. - **The turn someone saved** Someone stayed late so a move-in happened on time. The resident never knew. Neither will the review, unless you save it. - **The follow-up promised between tours** “I’ll circle back with you” is a commitment. You made four of them today. ## Say it between tours Keep it about your team member. Docu-Coach™ keeps the person, the fact, and the promise. > “Devon quoted the wrong availability on a tour. We reviewed the vacancy list and he will confirm the unit before the next appointment.” Docu-Coach™ remembers: Devon · Coaching · Quoted wrong availability; vacancy list reviewed · Commitment: Confirm the unit before the next appointment > “The Building C work order sat too long. I told maintenance I would check the vendor status by noon tomorrow.” Docu-Coach™ remembers: Maintenance team · Your follow-up · Building C work order stalled · Follow-up: Check vendor status by noon tomorrow > “Alicia stayed late to finish a turn before Saturday’s move-in. Put that recognition on her timeline.” Docu-Coach™ remembers: Alicia · Recognition · Stayed late to finish a turn before move-in ## For managers running both sides of a property Leasing and maintenance have different rhythms, but the same manager has to remember both.

Keep it about your employee. “Quoted the wrong availability on a tour” is a complete note. Resident names, applications, screening results, payment details, and lease terms stay in your PMS. Building or unit references for a work order are fine only when they do not identify a resident. ### Does this replace our work-order system? No. Work orders stay in your property-management or maintenance system. Docu-Coach™ holds what you promised the team, such as checking a vendor status by noon, and what you coached. ### Can a regional manager use it across several properties? Each manager account keeps its own people. The Teams plan covers 10 manager accounts and 250 people with central billing and admin controls. ### How does it help with fair-housing-sensitive leasing conversations? Docu-Coach™ does not give legal advice or judge compliance. It saves the coaching conversation you had with a leasing employee, in your words, so you can refer back to it. Follow your company’s fair housing training and policies. ### What does it cost? Manager is $9.98 a month for up to 25 people. Every account starts with a 30-day trial with no card. ### Does it write things I did not say?
