March 14, 2025

At Focus, we believe that exceptional service is not just a goal—it’s the foundation of everything we do. Every interaction with our residents is an opportunity to showcase our commitment to speed, efficiency, and quality. Our ability to respond quickly and effectively to resident needs is what sets us apart, ensuring that everyone who calls a Focus-managed property feels heard, valued, and taken care of.

One of the defining elements of our approach is our elite phone response standard. We pledge to answer every incoming call within two rings, achieving an industry-leading 99% success rate. This dedication to immediate responsiveness allows us to provide an experience that is truly unmatched. Additionally, our 24/7 Resident Experience Line ensures that every resident inquiry, concern, or request is handled with precision and care, no matter the time of day.

Answering Calls in 2 Rings—A Standard That Defines Us

When residents call, they don’t want to be left waiting. Long hold times and unanswered calls create frustration and diminish trust. At Focus, we’ve eliminated this problem by implementing a two-ring answer commitment. Our elite team is trained to handle calls efficiently, ensuring that residents receive immediate assistance.

With a 99% success rate in meeting this commitment, our approach isn’t just aspirational—it’s operational. We invest in the right people, processes, and technology to make this level of responsiveness possible. By prioritizing instant connection, we:

  • Reduce Resident Frustration: No one enjoys waiting on hold. Our fast response ensures concerns are addressed immediately, fostering resident satisfaction.
  • Improve Problem Resolution: The quicker we engage, the faster we can resolve issues, whether they involve maintenance requests, lease inquiries, or general assistance.
  • Demonstrate Reliability: Residents know they can count on us. This trust strengthens our reputation and enhances overall retention.

Answering within two rings isn’t just a benchmark—it’s a testament to our commitment to world-class service. But we don’t stop there.

24/7 Resident Experience Line: Service Beyond Business Hours

Life doesn’t operate on a 9-to-5 schedule, and neither should resident support. That’s why we’ve implemented our 24/7 Resident Experience Line, ensuring that every resident has access to assistance whenever they need it. Whether it’s a late-night maintenance emergency, a lease question, or a general inquiry, our team is ready to provide immediate support.
