Opiniion is transforming how multifamily teams understand and serve their residents. In this episode of the Digible Dudes podcast, Devin (CEO of Opiniion) shares how the company evolved from a simple online review tool into a full resident experience and feedback platform powered by AI, now supporting millions of units across thousands of communities.
We cover Opiniion’s founding story, the move from basic review generation into measuring the entire resident journey, and how they centralize data from tours, move-ins, maintenance, renewals, and move-outs. Devin also breaks down the acquisition of Rentgrata, how prospect conversations and referrals complete the picture, and why their ARI engine (Actionable Renter Insights) is becoming a core layer of “resident intelligence” for operators.
Devin and the hosts discuss the link between online reputation, star ratings, and occupancy, and what it really takes to move a property from struggling reviews to a 4.0 and above. They get into Good-Better-Best packaging, the tension between collecting feedback and driving real operational change, and how Opiniion uses AI to surface patterns and recommended actions while still keeping humans at the center of leasing and resident care.
If you want insights on resident experience, multifamily operations, online reviews, and how AI can actually help teams make smarter decisions instead of replacing them, this episode is a must-watch.

Multifamily marketing does not work in a vacuum. In this episode of the Digible Dudes podcast, host Reid sits down with Leslie Mathis, founder of Streamline Multifamily, to unpack why campaigns fall flat when operations are not aligned, how to fix the disconnect between owners, operators, and agencies, and what great alignment looks like from concept to lease up.
We cover Leslie’s career journey and how she acts as a bridge between ownership and third party management, the market shift from easy leasing to tougher conditions, and the cadence required to win. Expect clear takeaways on weekly collaboration, shared goals, and educating stakeholders on what the data actually means so decisions are based on facts, not feelings.
Leslie also breaks down where to invest for real resident value, why access control and seamless experiences often beat in unit gadget upgrades, and how to rethink concessions by reallocating a portion into targeted marketing and storytelling. We get into training gaps across on site and regional teams, outdated reporting and KPIs, and how AI should enable teams to synthesize data and deliver actionable guidance rather than generic outputs.
If you want practical strategies to align marketing and operations, improve traffic quality, and turn insights into leases, this episode is a must watch for multifamily owners, operators, and marketers.

Windell Mollenido, VP of Marketing and Technology at The REMM Group, joins us to reveal the real impact of AI in multifamily. This isn’t about hype or quick wins. It’s about what actually happens when automation hits the front lines.
AI doesn’t reduce workload overnight. It increases it—more calls, more tours, more pressure on your team. But done right, it exposes inefficiencies, uncovers missed opportunities, and helps build smarter, more resilient operations.
We dive into REMM’s “Robot Wars” pilot, the shift from SEO to AI-powered search, and why authenticity will become the most valuable asset in a tech-saturated world. This episode blends innovation with realism and shows why empathy is just as important as efficiency.
If you want the real playbook for using AI in property management, this is it.
