Tech-Based Property Management Platforms
If you’re considering a residential property management company, consider one that’s integrating tech into their business, offering electronic and automated rent collection, mobile apps for tracking, monitoring, and reporting, online service ticketing, and more. These options provide management companies with more streamlined processes and documenting, providing Landlords with more reliable, predictable and transparent service.
Smart Home Integration for Property Management
As technology advances, so does smart home tech in the property management realm. Some owners are now opting for leak detectors, remote-controlled and automated water line shut-off valves, and more.
Imagine the savings in a scenario that plays out like this phone call:
Tenant: Hi, I tried hanging a TV and must have hit a water line. Water is coming out from the wall, and I don’t know what to do!
Property Management Company: No worries, tenant. We’ve gone ahead and shut off the main water supply. Please go immediately to the laundry tub in the basement and open the hot and cold water valves to drain the pipes.
Smart home technology like water leak detection systems, smart thermostats, remote access controls, and automated lighting can significantly reduce damage risks, lower insurance premiums, and improve tenant satisfaction.
Advanced Marketing Technology for Rental Properties
Rental properties are often an after thought for real estate agents, and you’ll often find poorly prepared and horribly photographed rental property listings. When the majority of rental listings look horrible, the great ones truly stand out.
Be sure to hire a professional photographer, opt for virtual staging, and ensure the listing is on your MLS system. In essence, hire a professional real estate agent or property management company that invests in proper marketing technology.
Modern rental marketing technology includes:
- Professional 3D virtual tours and Matterport scans
- High-quality drone photography for exterior shots
- AI-powered listing optimization tools
- Automated syndication to multiple rental platforms
- Digital application and screening integration

Benefits of automated maintenance systems:
- 24/7 request submission via web or mobile app
- Automatic prioritization based on urgency
- Real-time tracking and status updates
- Automated vendor dispatch and communication
- Digital record-keeping for all maintenance history
- Integration with property management software for budgeting and analytics
