Peter Drucker once said, “The best way to predict the future is to invent it.” Most real estate market analysts would agree that there’s no surefire path to predicting the future economy with 100% certainty, but innovative technologies, especially artificial intelligence (AI), are poised to revolutionize the real estate industry, enhancing market analysis, transaction efficiency, and resident experiences. [1]

Property management refers to residential, commercial, or industrial real estate oversight by a third-party contractor or in-house team. A property manager is a professional responsible for overseeing and managing the daily operations of a property. They ensure the property is well-maintained and operates smoothly, including coordinating repairs and regular maintenance, managing budgets, and legal compliance, ultimately preserving the property’s value while it generates income.

Technology integrations are an industry essential for property managers. From smart technologies to energy-efficient installations, these valuable enhancements free up property owners’ time, allowing them to focus on tasks like acquiring more properties, diversifying their portfolio, or handling other obligations.

Modern property management technology includes software, smart devices, and artificial intelligence (AI). These technologies can help property managers improve operations, elevate resident experiences, and reduce costs. [2] The following are examples of technology in property management:

SOFTWARE

• • Property management software such as Entrata, Yardi Breeze, Buildium, AppFolio, and RentRedi can automate rent collection, lease renewals, and maintenance requests. 
  • Marketing and resident screening software like those mentioned above help generate leads and screen potential residents. [3][4][5] 
  • OneApp Guarantee is a co-signing program residents can use if they cannot independently obtain a co-signer. This type of software can eliminate the need for outside guarantors/co-signers, avert decision overrides, and mitigate potential rental losses.
  • RentPlus provides rent reporting and other financial services for PMs and residents. The platform reports rent payments to credit bureaus, and residents can be auto-enrolled for a small monthly fee. Some residents benefit from tools that help them build credit. By enrolling in this service, their on-time rent payments are reported to credit bureaus, allowing them to develop or improve their credit over time. Since credit plays a significant role in resident screening, PMs can offer this program to increase occupancy rates without sacrificing creditworthiness.

SMART DEVICES 

• • • Keyless entry is one example of a smart device that upgrades security and improves resident comfort.
    • Smart thermostats can also refine energy efficiency and boost resident satisfaction.
    • Energy-efficient lighting promotes eco-conscious behavior while simultaneously reducing expenses. [6][7]

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)

• • Automated property valuation models (AVMs) use data to provide objective property valuations, helping property management save time and money. ClearAVM and SiteXPro are just two examples of AVM software options.
  • Energy management (EM) is another product of AI. EM technology analyzes data to provide recommendations for improving energy efficiency.
  • As mentioned, specific resident screening software can help generate leads and conduct automatic background checks on potential residents. AI is quickly evolving to integrate with this software and use algorithms to evaluate potential residents’ credit history, employment records, and rental history. However, AI is controversial among some management teams due to fair housing and privacy issues. AI may present secure and streamlined services soon, but not today.
  • AI lease management automates documentation and enhances operational efficiency. [8]
