💬 Messaging
Chats with context, not chaos.
Background
Why
Most rental communication is fragmented:
- Viewings in one email thread
- Offers in WhatsApp
- Deposit details on a phone call
- Arguments with no trace or receipts
And that’s before anything even goes wrong.
F.estate brings it all together — contextual messaging, automatically scoped to the thing being discussed (a lease, a job, a viewing, a dispute). No more scrolling. No more guessing.
What
Messaging is:
- 🧠 Context-aware: every message lives inside the feature it relates to
- 🔗 Scoped to things like listings, leases, jobs, inspections, or requests
- 🔔 Push-notified, time-stamped, and with relevant read permissions
- 🗃 Archived and referenced automatically
- 💬 Can include media, attachments, and system-generated messages
How it works
📌 Feature threads
Whether it's a job, lease, viewing, or issue — each has a messaging thread, scoped just to that context.
📢 Get notified instantly
Push notifications let users know when something important happens, and system messages fill in the gaps (e.g., “Tenant signed lease”, “Viewing confirmed”).
📎 Keep everything attached
Photos, contracts, inspection reports, and even receipts are sent and saved right in the relevant thread.
🗃 Permanent record
Messages are logged, uneditable, and reference-able. You always have proof.
User Benefits
💬 Contextual clarity
No more “what are you talking about?” — conversations live where the action is.
🔔 Instant notifications
Everyone’s looped in, nobody’s left wondering what happened.
🧾 Dispute protection
When communication breaks down, the truth is right there — backed by time, sender, and feature.
