Key features

Features that drive results

Multi-step renewal campaigns

Sequences texts and emails from first notice through final decision, with a phone call for residents who haven’t responded.

Multi-channel outreach

Reaches residents by text and email, with a call for those who haven’t responded, and replies come straight back to your team.

Answers from your offer letter

Ellipse quotes the renewal terms on file, and hands rate questions to your leasing team.

Year-round engagement

Shares news with every resident, then asks how it went: the parking lot was resurfaced, the pool was renovated, the walkways were cleared of snow.

Feedback and reporting

Ratings roll up across campaigns, check-ins and maintenance surveys.

Why Ellipse is your competitive edge

Better for everyone who keeps residents happy

For property owners

  • Protect occupancy: Fewer residents slip through the cracks unrenewed.
  • Build relationships: Residents who feel connected to management stay and renew.

For property managers

  • Campaigns run themselves: Texts and emails go out on schedule, with calls when they’re needed.
  • Keep everyone informed: Share community news, activities and events with every resident.

For leasing agents

  • No more chasing renewals: Eliminate manual call lists and follow-up spreadsheets.
  • Focus on closing: Spend time on residents ready to sign, not tracking down non-responders.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Lease dates and resident details come from the CRM or PMS you already use, and replies come straight back to your team.

60 days before the lease ends by default, with reminders at 30 and 14 days. You can add, remove or change steps to match your renewal process.

You decide. By default, only the primary leaseholder is contacted, and residents who’ve given notice are skipped.

Ellipse answers from the renewal offer on file and hands questions like rate negotiations to your leasing team. The campaign pauses, so the resident doesn’t get reminders they don’t need.

Works even better together

Pairs well with Maintenance Automation and Payment Reminders

Residents who feel heard renew more often, and great repair follow-up is where it starts. Combine products for a bundle discount, and choose a different mix for each property.
