Google Voice pioneered cloud-based phone systems and remains an excellent solution for many business needs. For landlords just starting out, it offers a fantastic way to separate personal and business calls, handle voicemail professionally, and begin building a structured communication system. Their reliable service and intuitive interface have helped countless property owners take their first steps toward professionalizing their rental operations.
However, as your portfolio grows, you need more than just a way to make and receive calls. While Google Voice provides a solid foundation, it wasn't designed with property management's unique challenges in mind. Property managers need a system that automatically organizes communications by property, intelligently routes urgent maintenance calls, and provides comprehensive activity logging for compliance. Without features like automated follow-up systems, property-specific analytics, and smart call routing based on location, you'll find yourself manually handling tasks that could be automated. Modern property management demands tools that help you not just communicate, but truly understand and optimize your rental operations.

Google Voice
Stay Organized by Property, not Just Contacts
Doorkeep streamlines property communications with a purpose-built shared address book that keeps your contacts organized by property and type. This intelligent organization system not only helps your team maintain clear tenant-property relationships but also powers advanced features like smart call forwarding and notifications, ensuring the right team member handles each interaction.
Google Voice offers basic communication features but falls short for property management needs, mixing personal and business contacts without any way to organize tenants by property. The platform's lack of property-specific labels and categories makes it difficult to track which tenant belongs to which property, creating confusion and inefficiency in your communication workflow.
Help Your Tenants Get Ahold of You
Doorkeep creates a dedicated webpage for each property, giving tenants instant access to essential contact information, property details, neighborhood guides, and important instructions - all while ensuring communication compliance through opt-in features. This centralized information hub keeps tenants informed and connected with property management.
Google Voice provides only basic phone functionality without any property-specific features or tenant resources. With just a phone number for communication, tenants lack access to crucial property information, management contacts, or any centralized platform for accessing important details about their rental property.
Smart Property-Based Call Forwarding
Doorkeep's intelligent call forwarding system automatically routes calls based on property assignments and contact type, ensuring tenants reach their designated property manager while sales inquiries go to the right team member. The system even announces the property name during call connection, providing seamless communication management with customizable rules for different scenarios.
Google Voice offers only simple single-number call forwarding without any property-specific routing capabilities or customization options. Incoming calls follow the same basic path regardless of the caller's property or purpose, lacking the intelligence to direct different types of calls to the appropriate team members.
All User Activity Logged for Transparency and Record Keeping
Doorkeep maintains a comprehensive audit trail of all user actions, tracking every change made to contacts, properties, and settings while clearly identifying who made each modification. This transparency ensures team accountability and creates reliable historical records for future reference.
Google Voice lacks any form of user activity tracking or change history, making it impossible to determine who modified contact information or when changes were made. This absence of accountability can lead to confusion and communication gaps within property management teams.
Stay On Top of Every Contact Follow-Up
Doorkeep proactively sends follow-up reminders organized by property, ensuring timely responses to tenants, vendors, and sales inquiries. The platform delivers daily and weekly email summaries to keep teams informed of all communications, even when away from the office.
Google Voice provides no reminder system or communication summaries, leaving property managers to manually track their follow-ups and potentially miss important responses to tenants and vendors. Without automated tracking, team members lack visibility into pending communications.
Data-Driven Property Insights
Doorkeep's comprehensive reporting system breaks down communication patterns by property, providing actionable insights into call volumes, response times, and team efficiency. These metrics help property managers optimize their operations and make informed decisions about staffing and resource allocation.
Google Voice lacks any reporting functionality, offering no visibility into communication patterns or property-specific metrics. Without data insights, property managers can't track team performance, identify trends, or make informed decisions about their communication strategies.
