10 Common Multifamily Property Challenges RemoteLock Can Solve
RemoteLock’s software and hardware integrations make it uniquely positioned to address the challenges of multifamily property management, streamlining property operations and elevating the resident experience.
With support for hundreds of popular smart lock models and seamless integration with leading property management software, RemoteLock can be tailored to address the exact concerns and specific needs of your multifamily property.
1. How can I manage access to common areas without on-site staff?
Managing access to both unit and common doors across a property can be daunting without the right tools. RemoteLock simplifies this process by providing a centralized dashboard where property managers can monitor all access points in real-time.
Managers can assign common doors to specific door groups, allowing residents and staff to access them at designated times, and RemoteLock’s powerful logging systems will record each time an access credential is used.
2. How can I provide a convenient, secure experience for residents?
Residents and their guests expect seamless and secure access to properties. They don’t want to have to call maintenance if they get locked out or lose their keys, and they don’t want to have to find a member of the office staff to retrieve a package.
RemoteLock’s PIN and mobile credentials, remote management, and customized access schedules ensure secure, hassle-free entry for residents and their guests, creating a positive experience.
3. I need to quickly and efficiently turn over units between residents
Delays in resident turnover are one of the biggest concerns of multifamily property managers. Every day that a unit remains vacant while it’s being serviced or cleaned, your property is losing revenue.
With RemoteLock, property managers can automate access for cleaning and maintenance crews, ensuring faster turnovers. Unique, time-bound access codes keep the process secure and efficient.
4. What can I do to safely offer self-guided tours for prospective residents?
In-person tours are a great way to generate interest in your property and convert prospects to residents, but staffing and scheduling tours is resource-intensive.
RemoteLock’s self-guided tour capabilities enable property managers to provide secure, time-restricted access for prospects, showcasing units at their convenience while freeing up staff.
RemoteLock can also integrate with self-touring software like Power Pro Leasing and Pynwheel to automate scheduling and identity verification, ensuring that you’re in control of who tours your properties and when.
5. What’s the best way to organize maintenance and cleaning staff?
Coordinating access for maintenance and cleaning can be challenging, especially in multifamily settings. By integrating with third-party software for maintenance work orders and cleaning staff, RemoteLock ensures that these teams can complete their work efficiently, without interfering with residents, and with access limited to their scheduled times.
Managers can also take advantage of RemoteLock’s door group features across multiple properties, allowing maintenance and cleaning professionals to access multiple properties at designated times with the same codes.
6. How can I efficiently oversee multiple properties?
For property managers overseeing multiple locations, RemoteLock’s centralized management platform is invaluable. Door groups and user groups can be created to span multiple properties, allowing staff, maintenance, or delivery personnel to access multiple buildings with the same code.
In addition, RemoteLock’s reporting tools enable managers to monitor and control access across a portfolio, reducing administrative burdens and enhancing oversight.
7. Can I eliminate the process of changing keys and locks?
Rekeying locks is costly and time-consuming, adding up to hundreds of dollars per year. RemoteLock eliminates this issue by offering keyless solutions.
Managers can change PINs or access permissions remotely, automatically, and according to custom schedules, ensuring security without physical intervention.
8. How do I manage access to shared spaces?
Shared amenities like pools, gyms, and conference rooms require controlled access to maintain security and resident satisfaction. RemoteLock allows property managers to create tailored access schedules, ensuring only authorized residents use these spaces during designated hours.
Residents can also be placed into specific groups, with each group being given different privileges. If your property includes amenities that some residents pay extra to access, like covered parking, you can easily change the privileges attached to their existing credentials.
9. How can I use smart locks without property-wide Wi-Fi coverage?
Not all properties have robust internet infrastructure. RemoteLock supports offline locks, providing smart access control capabilities without the need for constant Wi-Fi connectivity.
RemoteLock also supports Z-Wave locks for areas where Wi-Fi traffic is crowded or battery life is an especially high priority. This flexibility ensures all properties can benefit from modern access control.
10. Will RemoteLock scale as my portfolio grows?
Whether managing a single property or a portfolio of multifamily buildings, scalability is crucial. RemoteLock’s hardware-agnostic platform grows with your needs, offering a unified solution that can support any size operation.
You can add new locks, buildings, or users at any time, integrating them into existing groups or creating new locations in your dashboard, and even copy settings from one building to another for quick, easy set-up. Whether you manage one building or a thousand, RemoteLock can help.
