Who is ResiQ a fit for?

ResiQ focuses on independent multifamily operators and small-to-mid-size apartment portfolios that need experienced technology leadership. An approaching renewal, acquisition, platform change, or unresolved vendor problem is a useful starting point. Existing staff and providers can stay involved.

Do you replace our current vendors or internal staff?

Usually, no. The first step is to understand who owns each responsibility and where decisions or support stall. ResiQ can coordinate existing teams and providers, then recommend changes where the current arrangement does not meet the portfolio's needs.

How do we get started?

Request a free 30-minute discovery call. Share your property and unit counts, the decision you face, and any renewal or acquisition deadlines. Josh will reply with scheduling details and use the conversation to identify an appropriate next step.

Your First Engagement

Can we start with a defined project?

Yes. You can start with a technology assessment, vendor decision, RFP, or infrastructure review with an agreed scope and deliverable. Ongoing advisory, implementation oversight, and managed IT support can be scoped separately if you need them.

What will we receive?

The deliverables depend on the decision. Examples include a requirements document, scored vendor comparison, technology roadmap, or support and escalation plan. The scope identifies the outputs, responsibilities, and review points before work begins.

What does our team need to provide?

Bring available contracts, proposals, system or network documentation, support history, and relevant deadlines. Identify a decision owner and the staff who use or support the technology. Their input helps confirm requirements, check assumptions, and review recommendations; missing information can be identified during scoping.

How are timing and fees determined?

Consulting timing and fees are agreed after the scope is defined. Property count, available documentation, vendor responses, access needs, and your team's availability affect the work. A focused review and an implementation project require different schedules and levels of involvement.

How is a strategy session different from a discovery call?

A discovery call is a free 30-minute introduction to discuss fit and next steps. A strategy session is a four-hour working session for $2,500, focused on a specific portfolio technology decision. Submit the context first; Josh reviews the request before sending a booking link.

PropTech and Vendor Decisions

How do you compare property technology vendors?

Start with the leasing, accounting, resident-service, and reporting workflows your team needs. Give vendors the same requirements, test comparable demonstrations, and score documented evidence. Review integrations, migration, support, implementation effort, and full-term cost alongside features.

Does ResiQ receive vendor commissions?

ResiQ does not accept vendor commissions or kickbacks. Recommendations depend on portfolio requirements and evidence. EvieAI is ResiQ's own AI platform and is identified as such; it is optional, and an assessment can recommend an existing tool, a process change, or no automation.

Can we keep technology we already own?

Yes. The review starts with your existing systems, equipment, contracts, and support arrangements. Working technology can stay where it meets the requirements. Replacement should address a specific reliability, security, support, or operating need.

Managed Wi-Fi

Is ResiQ the internet service provider?

No. The selected carrier or managed Wi-Fi provider supplies connectivity under its agreement. ResiQ helps evaluate providers, compare contracts and costs, plan deployment, and define acceptance tests and support responsibilities.

Can you review an existing Wi-Fi agreement or recurring outages?

Yes. Review the contract, network documentation, support history, and resident or staff complaints together. The work can identify gaps in capacity, equipment, support ownership, or vendor commitments and establish questions and next steps for the provider.

Fractional IT Leadership

What is fractional IT leadership?

Fractional IT leadership gives your portfolio an experienced technology leader on a part-time or flexible basis. The role can own the roadmap, coordinate vendors, review risks and contracts, and guide acquisitions and implementation alongside ownership and property teams.

Does fractional leadership include a help desk?

Help-desk support is a separate responsibility. ResiQ can coordinate an existing provider or include managed IT support in an agreed scope. The engagement should identify who handles tickets, monitoring, and maintenance, along with support hours and response expectations.

AI Readiness and EvieAI

What is EvieAI?

EvieAI is ResiQ's AI knowledge and automation platform. Approved users can ask questions across connected Microsoft 365 email, files, SQL databases, and dashboards through a web interface or Microsoft Teams. The deployment defines authorized sources, user access, and operating controls.

Is EvieAI required to work with ResiQ?

No. Wi-Fi, PropTech, diligence, and IT advisory engagements do not require EvieAI or any AI product. An AI assessment starts with your workflow and evaluates suitable options, including tools you already use.

What should an AI pilot establish before rollout?

Define one workflow, authorized data sources, access controls, human review, and an owner for errors and corrections. Test representative questions, missing or stale information, and staff handoffs. Review accuracy, staff effort, operating cost, and unresolved errors before expanding.
