The Overview

Hired for Marketing. Delivered an Entire Operational Infrastructure.

"We were hired for marketing and automation. We ultimately studied their whole database, studied tenant complaints — and when COVID started, we onboarded 8 staffing agents who were responsible for calls, tenant issues, routing them back to the client's main office, easing complaints and entering them into the CRM to improve tenant issues."

Zara Realty is a prominent property management firm operating across Queens and Long Island, New York — overseeing a portfolio of over 50 buildings serving hundreds of tenants. When they came to Mirch Media, the brief was straightforward: improve marketing and streamline operations.

What we actually delivered went far deeper than any marketing brief. After studying their entire database and tenant complaint history, we identified that the real problem wasn't advertising — it was communication infrastructure. Tenants couldn't reach the right people. Calls were getting lost. Superintendent response times weren't being tracked. Realtors weren't getting timely lead transfers.

Then COVID started. And suddenly, the operational infrastructure we were building became a lifeline — not just a marketing upgrade.

The Challenges

Disorganized Tenant Communications

No centralized system for routing tenant calls. Complaints were getting lost, response times were inconsistent, and tenants had no reliable way to reach the right person.

Overflowing Call Volumes

High call volume with limited capacity and zero performance tracking. No visibility into wait times, abandoned calls, agent productivity, or issue resolution rates.

Inconsistent Realtor Coordination

Leasing inquiries from ads were not being efficiently transferred to agents. Showings were being missed, bookings were falling through, and leads were going cold.

No Marketing Attribution

Running paid ads on Google, Facebook, and Instagram with no way to connect which campaign drove which call, inquiry, or leasing — zero ROI visibility.

COVID — A Crisis With No Infrastructure

When the pandemic hit, tenant concern volume spiked dramatically. Without a system in place, the client had no way to manage the surge — creating serious operational and reputational risk.

The COVID Response

When the Pandemic Hit, We Were Already There.

The operational infrastructure we were building for Zara Realty became critical infrastructure when COVID changed everything for tenants and property managers overnight.

When COVID-19 started, tenant anxiety across Zara Realty's 50+ buildings surged. Residents had urgent questions about rent, maintenance access, building protocols, and services. Their regular staff was overwhelmed. The phone system wasn't built for this volume. Issues were falling through the cracks at exactly the moment when tenant trust mattered most.

Mirch Media onboarded 8 staffing agents — quickly trained on Zara Realty's properties, protocols, and CRM system — to absorb the surge. Each agent handled inbound tenant calls, identified the nature of the issue, routed it to the appropriate building superintendent or management team member, and entered the complaint or request directly into the CRM.

For the first time, Zara Realty had complete visibility into what their tenants were experiencing — what issues were being raised, how quickly they were being resolved, which buildings had the highest complaint volumes, and which superintendents were responding on time. The data that came out of those months fundamentally changed how the organization operated.

"We ultimately brought their tenant satisfaction up and saved them at a time of COVID by providing our staffing and administrative support — at a moment when most property management companies had no system at all."

Smart Routing & Attribution

Every Call Tracked. Every Channel Attributed. Zero Calls Lost.

Before Mirch Media, Zara Realty had no way to know which marketing channel drove which call, inquiry, or lease. Google Ads, Facebook, and Instagram were all running — but the phone was just a phone. No tracking. No attribution. No data.

We deployed unique tracking numbers for each marketing channel — a dedicated number for Google Ads, one for Instagram, one for Facebook, and one for direct — each routed through our smart system with full recording and reporting.

For the first time, the Zara Realty team could answer: which ad drove this call? Which campaign generates the best leads? Every dollar of ad spend became accountable.

The Staffing Solution

8 Agents. Deployed in Days. During a Global Pandemic.

When COVID hit and call volume surged across Zara Realty's 50+ buildings, the challenge wasn't just operational — it was a tenant retention and reputation risk. Residents who couldn't get answers would not renew leases. Buildings that felt unresponsive would generate negative reviews that hurt future leasing.

Mirch Media's staffing team was already embedded in the Zara Realty system. We knew the properties, the protocols, the CRM — and we were able to onboard 8 trained agents within days to absorb the surge.

"We brought their tenant satisfaction up and saved them at a time of COVID by providing our staffing and administrative support — when most property management companies had no system to fall back on."
