Property Management Programs by Building Technologies

Monthly costs associated with vacancies and turnovers could represent a significant portion of your present annual operating budget. The rental market is a competitive market and if you are not taking advantage of effective management strategies then you are losing money needlessly.

• Do you have any idea how many renters have contacted or could not get in touch with your superintendents or rental agents in the past month, or have actually viewed your vacant units?
• Do you have any idea why potential renters did not end up renting units in your buildings?
• Do you have any idea what your superintendents or rental agents successful close ratio is?
• Are your rental rates lower then what they should be or are you giving away unnecessary rental incentives because you end up compensating for ineffective rental performance?
• Are you ending up settling for lower quality tenants who may end up costing you more money in legal fees, lost rent, eviction costs and damages to your units, not to mention driving away some of your good tenants because of disturbances and other problems?

Building Technologies can help lower your Vacancies and Turnovers

Monthly costs associated with maintenance also represent a significant portion of your present annual operating budget.

• Do you have any idea how many repairs or the types of repairs that your superintendents or maintenance staff are doing in a day?
• Do you have any idea of the quality of those repairs and if your tenants are satisfied with those repairs?
• Do you have any idea how long it takes for the repairs to get done and how many of those repair requests are lost or are taken verbally and then forgotten and just not done or have to be redone?
• Do you have any idea how many of your tenants are complaining about poor maintenance and have actually moved out because of that, contributing to higher then necessary turnover costs?
• Do you keep records of your appliance purchases and track where they go and how often they break down or turnover?
• Do you have any idea how many times you changed the carpets or redone the floors in your units over the past 5 years?

Building Technologies can help lower your maintenance costs and increase your tenant retentions.

Propertyware Portals

Enable you to put your properties online with your own-hosted customizable web site portal. Your web site portal includes rental listings, guest card, application, service request form and custom pages. Visitors to your web site portal can fill in a guest card or a repair request and the information goes directly into your Propertyware program so that you can track and follow up your prospects and work order requests. The Portal can also become part of your corporate website if you prefer.

Building Technologies will link your Propertyware Portal to all the major search engines for you and to the major free rental websites. We also use Google Analytics and Adwords to attract more traffic to your web portal.

Your rental enquiries and maintenance requests can also be processed by the Building Technologies Call Center. You can have our attendants handle all your rental enquiries and maintenance requests for you by advertising our toll free number.

For an extra $1.00 per unit monthly, our 24-hour, 7 days a week customer support Call Center will make sure that you never miss a rental enquiry or a repair request. We record all caller information for you and transfer the call (live transfer) to your rental office or superintendent. We even do follow-ups. Emergency calls can be transferred to your emergency phone number. The Building Technologies Call Center is ideal for those landlords who do not have an on-site rental office and want to keep their superintendents accountable for both repairs and rentals. 

Here is an example of what the Building Technologies Call Center can do for you:

Rental Enquiry Phone Calls:  Our attendants will receive your rental enquiry and create a rental prospect in your portal. We then transfer the call during business hours (live transfer) to your rental agent or we pass the information on to them for the next business day. We then follow up with 10% (or higher upon request) of your rental prospects, to find out if they rented your unit or if not why. The survey results are sent to you monthly.

Repair Request Phone Calls:  Our attendants will receive your repair requests and create a work order in your portal. We then follow up with 10% (or higher upon request) of the completed work orders to rate the tenant’s satisfaction with the repair. The survey results are sent to you monthly.
