This Is How Sort Works

Sort isn't another tenant portal. It's a community concierge that gets residents meeting, talking, and staying longer.

01
Residents Download & Join
A resident downloads Sort, verifies their address, and instantly joins their building's private community. No invite codes, no approvals — just their phone number and address.
  • Phone number verification (SMS OTP)
  • Auto-matched to their building community
  • Profile setup with interests and bio

Neighbors Start Connecting
Sort gives residents natural ways to meet — not forced networking. They post what they're up to, open their door, or answer the daily question. It feels like bumping into someone in the hallway, not filling out a survey.
  • Open Door — "Come hang out, I'm making tacos"
  • Going Out — "Heading to the gym, anyone in?"
  • Question of the Day — daily icebreakers

Real Conversations Happen
Building chat, DMs, group chats, and event chats keep residents connected. It's where inside jokes form, plans get made, and the community actually feels like a community.
  • Building-wide chat (your whole community)
  • Direct messages between neighbors
  • Event group chats (auto-created for RSVPs)

Anyone know a good plumber? Kitchen sink is acting up 😅
Yeah! Call Dave at 555-0123, he fixed mine last week. Super fast.
You're the best, thank you!! 🙏

Events Bring Everyone Together
Property-hosted events, resident-created hangouts, and local organization activities all live in one calendar. RSVP, buy tickets, and share — all in-app. Your events actually get attendance.
  • Property events with built-in RSVP
  • Ticketed events with Stripe payments
  • Residents can create their own events

Sort vs. Generic Tenant Portals

Most "community" apps are really just maintenance request tools with a feed bolted on.

Typical Tenant Portals

Pay rent and submit maintenance tickets
Bulletin board nobody checks
No real social features
Residents open it once a month (to pay rent)
Zero impact on retention

Sort Residential

Real-time social feed, Open Door, Going Out
Building chat, DMs, group conversations
Events with RSVP, ticketing, and attendance
Residents open it daily — it's where friends are
Measurable retention impact + engagement data
