The Perfect Gift Guide for Any Property Manager
As the holidays approach, property managers often find themselves on the receiving end of thoughtful gifts from residents, vendors, and partners. Coffee mugs, chocolates, and gift baskets are always appreciated. But beyond these kind gestures, property managers have a wish list of their own — things that make their roles more efficient, their properties more successful, and their residents or guests happier.
1. Positive Reviews That Build Reputation
Every property manager knows the power of a good review. Positive feedback from residents, guests, and prospects doesn’t just boost morale — it drives business success. A glowing review highlights what your property does best, whether it’s seamless move-ins, a stellar guest experience, or an impressive property tour.
Encouraging reviews is about making the process easy for your audience. For residents and guests, a simple follow-up email can prompt them to share their experiences. For prospects, a quick survey after a self-guided tour can provide valuable insights. Reviews don’t just reflect what’s working — they attract future residents and guests by reinforcing your reputation as a well-managed, inviting property.
2. Secure Access Control for Stress-Free Management
Lost keys and forgotten access credentials shouldn’t be part of a property manager’s routine. Smart locks and platforms like RemoteLock take the hassle out of access control by allowing managers to create, manage, and revoke credentials remotely. This level of control means no more late-night trips to handle lockouts and fewer concerns about security breaches.
For multifamily properties, smart access control supports seamless resident move-ins, common area management, and secure vendor access. In vacation rentals, it ensures guests can check in with ease — no matter the time of day. Secure access control isn’t just a convenience; it’s a necessity for modern property management.
3. Automated Solutions That Save Time
Managing properties means juggling a variety of tasks, from access management to maintenance scheduling. Automation can handle these tasks, freeing up managers to focus on the bigger picture. With RemoteLock’s integrations, property managers can sync access control with their property management systems (PMS), automating tasks like credential creation and guest check-ins.
For multifamily managers, automation streamlines leasing workflows and reduces administrative tasks. For vacation rental managers, it ensures a smooth experience for guests from booking to checkout. By eliminating repetitive manual processes, automation reduces errors and saves valuable time, making it a gift property managers can truly appreciate.
4. Increased Net Operating Income (NOI)
Property managers are always looking for ways to improve their bottom line, and smarter technology is a direct path to increased NOI. Access control systems like RemoteLock reduce operational overhead by cutting down on administrative tasks. Meanwhile, energy-efficient tools like smart thermostats optimize utility usage, saving costs for both property owners and residents.
Higher NOI means more resources to reinvest in your properties, whether it’s upgrading amenities, improving curb appeal, or expanding your portfolio. Smarter operations aren’t just a benefit — they’re a financial gift that keeps on giving.
5. Faster Turnovers for Greater Occupancy
Turnover can be one of the most time-intensive parts of property management. In multifamily properties, keeping turnover low is critical to maintaining occupancy rates and minimizing vacancy loss. For vacation rentals, quick turnovers between guests are key to maximizing revenue.
RemoteLock simplifies this process by ensuring cleaning and maintenance crews have the access they need, exactly when they need it. Smart locks make it easy to grant temporary access to vendors, while tools like automated scheduling ensure everything runs on time. With the right solutions, property managers can reduce downtime and keep their properties occupied.
How to Make These Gifts a Reality
While coffee mugs and holiday treats are always welcome, property managers deserve tools that make their jobs more efficient and rewarding. Positive reviews, secure access control, automated solutions, increased NOI, and faster turnovers aren’t just wishful thinking — they’re achievable with the right tools and strategies.
This holiday season, give yourself the gift of smarter property management.
