The better the tenant experience, the greater it is for the success of the rental company as it eases the tenant’s experience and the rental tasks for them are handled by the managers seamlessly.

 

7.    Drones for Property Survey

Inspecting a property that is at a place which is hard to reach and large enough to visit all at the same time is not something a property manager or a tenant would opt for and for that, drones have made it easier with their use to survey the land quickly. This technology captures videos or images of the land with its ability of high resolution, giving a visible yet detailed view of the current conditions of the property. Many tenants want to inspect the roof of the properties and other areas that are hard to reach and drones make it easier for them to inspect minimising the risks associated with scaffolding or using the ladders to reach.

Being up to date on the real estate market trends and changes has always helped managers anticipate future strategies according to the data. Predictive analytics is the reason that project managers analyse the previous data to secure the future by implementing this technology.

This not only does its job in securing the transactions but has also made the process easy, cost-efficient and time efficient as well as the legal work always gets in the way of tenants and managers.

When properties are not advertised properly or are advertised with traditional methods, the target audience is not efficiently reached. With the increase in technological tools, digital marketing through social media platforms has made its way in this 21st century. Where property managers can use social media platforms like Instagram, LinkedIn and Facebook to advertise their properties and interact with the audience that can be the potential tenants and build real-time relations and trust with them over time.
