How Melissa Scaled Her Property Management Business Without Adding More Work
Discover why better systems (not more staff) are the answer to scaling your portfolio.

Melissa, a veteran property manager from a fast growing property management company, had been steadily expanding her portfolio. As more properties came under her management, the daily workload rose with it, and the pressure to keep operations running smoothly grew even faster.
The Growing Pains of Success
Scaling a property management business brings new opportunities, but it also brings new problems. Melissa reached a point where growth required more staff, and more staff created more challenges. She was dealing with turnover, training issues, preventable mistakes, and time consuming tasks that distracted her from higher value work. Instead of focusing on strategy and expansion, she found herself buried in administrative details.
One of the most mundane tasks was lead inspection compliance. Tracking inspection cycles, contacting tenants, scheduling appointments, and handling required documentation took far too much of her team’s time.
A Smarter Way to Scale
Melissa knew she did not need more people. She needed better systems. That realization led her to BusyKeys, a platform built to automate time consuming operational workflows for property managers.
BusyKeys created a custom automation that now manages the entire lead inspection process from start to finish.
What the Lead Inspection Bot Does
The automation handles every step of the workflow without human intervention.
It identifies properties that are coming due for lead inspection by reading Melissa’s Google Sheet. It contacts tenants automatically through SMS to coordinate scheduling. It ensures compliance with PHA requirements by sending the satisfactory lead certificate through DocuSign. It collects tenant signatures and captures evidence that the required information was delivered.
What used to take hours of staff coordination now happens consistently and automatically.
The Integrations That Make the Workflow Possible
Google Sheets as the Source of Truth
Melissa keeps all lead inspection data in a single Google Sheet that her team updates regularly. The bot connects to this sheet in real time. It monitors due dates, reads property details, and works directly off the information her team already manages. No new tools, no duplicated data, and no manual exports.
TextMagic for Automated Tenant Communication
Tenant outreach previously required multiple follow ups by staff. Through a direct connection with Melissa’s TextMagic account, the bot now sends automated text messages to tenants, prompts them to schedule appointments, and reminds them when action is needed. Communication that once required hours of back and forth now happens instantly.
DocuSign for Simple and Reliable Compliance
After each inspection, the bot sends the satisfactory lead certificate to the tenant through DocuSign. It collects signatures, stores documentation, and creates a clear record that the certificate was delivered. This keeps Melissa fully compliant without requiring manual oversight.
The Result
With the lead inspection process running on autopilot, Melissa and her team reclaimed significant time every week. Instead of worrying about scheduling, chasing signatures, or tracking deadlines, they can now focus on scaling the business, improving operations, and investing their time in higher value activities.
Automation did not just save Melissa time. It allowed her business to grow without adding more people and without increasing stress. For a property manager with big ambitions, that is exactly the leverage she needed.
