OUR PARTNERS AND TECHNOLOGY

It takes a big team and lots of technology


It takes a big team to manage hundreds of properties with thousands of tenants, collecting rents, managing leases, handling maintenance, move ins, move outs etc. A great property manager can not do it alone so we partner with the industry's best companies and tech solutions to help us out. This investment of money and time shows our dedication to our clients' success.


Some of the benefits of our software suite and partners are that they:

 

  • Allow us to scale easily depending on the season and time of year for example during the busy moving season of the summer we will have all the capacity needed to show properties with short notice.
  • Work from home if the situation demands. We had set this up for snow or ice storms but it came in pretty handy during the recent pandemic.
  • Limit personal interactions with tenants but provide excellent service. Automated rent payments and online service requests are an example of this which are very useful during any type of storm or pandemic.
  • Automatic backups in place so we are not dependent on data in one location. Because of our technology and online partners we have very little data stored locally. That which we do is backed up electronically and stored off site.

Experian Logo

Every 24 hours, Experian RentBureau receives updated rental payment history data from property owners/managers, electronic rent payment services and collection companies and makes that information available immediately to the multifamily industry through our resident screening partners. This quick turnaround and robust data impacts every point of decision making – from identifying higher-quality residents and improving bad-debt recovery to streamlining the collections process.  


Experian is the first major credit reporting agency to incorporate positive rental payment data reported to Experian RentBureau in consumer credit reports, enabling residents to build credit history by paying rent responsibly. 


Link to PetScreening.com

In the household pet screening process, we look at data points that focus on the "ABCs" (Affirmations, Behavioral, and Compatibility) of each pet and pet owner. The pet owner submits a pet application along with a final legal attestation to confirm validity. A Pet Profile is instantaneously generated and includes name, breed, weight, sex, age, pictures, vaccination information, micro-chip data, and behavioral information. 


Our patent pending and proprietary FIDO Score™ is included with each Pet Profile. This score is intended to help a housing provider better understand the housing related risk for each pet and pet owner. It can be used to generate additional pet rents/fees/deposits, if desired. (Note: Assistance animals do not receive a FIDO Score™.)

obligo

We have partnered up with an amazing way of making transactions. 


With a traditional deposit, the resident pays a large sum in advance, before there’s any actual reason for charging such an amount. With an Obligo Billing Authorization, residents only pay if their property manager submits a charge.


An Obligo Billing Authorization is a secure and limited connection to a bank account. It enables owners and managers to charge residents up to the deposit amount, effectively replacing security deposits.
