Sometimes it’s nice to ponder the good ole days–before we were consumed by social media and touching grass was, well, a common occurrence. The one time we absolutely want to forget those days? When leasing is the topic of conversation.
“Back in my day, we had to go INTO the leasing office and sign physical documents!”
Weird flex, Grandpa. Tech has changed virtually every aspect of daily life, and the leasing process is no exception. From how properties are toured, to the application process, all the way through to lease renewals, leasing at multifamily properties has entered into a new era. So what exactly does leasing look like in the digital age, and how is it beneficial to you as a property manager?
Multifamily Leasing in the Age of Technology
Prospective renters can say goodbye to trudging over to leasing offices and physically signing paperwork, and you can finally part ways with the loads of paperwork, printing, scanning, mailing, and worst of all–waiting–associated with traditional leasing. ManageGo’s all-in-one leasing solution streamlines everything from applications to renewals on one intuitive platform.
Applications
Never doubt that you’re picking the right residents for your properties when you have every tool available to you. Applicants can send you all their information online, and you can review their credentials and request a guarantor in minutes. Even better, ditch the 3rd party credit and background checks thanks to our partnership with Weimark, who will run these for you, straight from our platform.
Signing the Lease
Once you’ve found the perfect residents for your units, you can automatically convert approved applicants into tenants. Create custom lease and rider templates, and even bundle them by location or purpose for easy organization. Both parties can then sign the lease online in minutes–no need to schedule in-person meetings like back in the day (phew). ManageGo’s solution gives you one digital place to access all your records. Find them in seconds and rest easy knowing everything you need is right at your fingertips; seamlessly organized.
Lease Renewals
Let us guess, your residents are so impressed with your management (thanks to ManageGo) that they never want to leave. The goal, of course, is to retain your best residents and have regular lease renewals at your property. With our software, both you and your residents will automatically get a notification in advance about their expiring leases to begin the renewal process. You can then easily create a renewal lease from a template and sign digitally, just like before.
The Benefits for Property Managers
With this new technology, property managers and residents alike are changing the way they look at the leasing process. It’s no longer the hassle it used to be, and that comes with some major benefits. First and foremost, digital leasing increases your business efficiency tenfold. PropTech allows you to obtain and store all the information you need in seconds, so you’ll be on your way to filled units, faster. Having one online platform where all of your applicant and resident information lives is also going to help you keep more accessible and accurate records. And finally, the switch to digital leasing shows your residents that you’re with the times, and willing to invest in systems that make their lives easier–across the board.
