Ahhhh, the profession of “Property Management.” Whether you’re a landlord, real estate broker, or you if work as a professional property manager, it can be a great job, or a hassle. The devil’s in the details, as the saying goes.
Wouldn’t it be great if you had a method of managing those details better? A system of sorts to keep track of loose ends?
At Wufoo, we think so. Whether it’s organizing your tenant files, giving renters an easy way to send you issues/complaints, accepting rent money online, or having a system to send files via your website, we’ve developed a whole bunch of tools to make your life as a property manager easier.
If you happen to be in the business of developing websites for property management companies or real estate businesses, you’ll love all of these tools, too.
The best part? If you’re not a programmer or computer-whiz, no worries! We’ve made it easy to just grab our forms and add them to your website, or to embed them into an email.
Sound intriguing? Here are some ways you can use Wufoo to help you manage properties and work with tenants.
Keep track of your tenants
Are you managing an apartment complex, condo units, or a housing development? If so, we bet you have a lot of tenants to keep track of. Do you ever find yourself forgetting how long someone has rented, if people pay their rent on time, or if there has been any damage to the unit? Don’t worry – with all of those renters, it’s probably hard to remember each one.
Use our Tenant Review Form to set up an internal system that helps you organize information on each renter. It’s a snappy way to catalog everyone who rents from you/has rented, and because it lives online, you’ll never have to worry about losing it!
Give tenants an easy way to submit fix-it tickets and file complaints
Perhaps the “less-pleasant” part of managing properties is the complaint process. Have you ever had tenants call you at 3 a.m. complaining that the neighbors are being too loud? Have you been disturbed on the weekend by someone letting you know their faucet is leaking? To make your life more peaceful – and to give renters an easy way to contact you – embed our Issue Tracking Form or our Complaint Form into your website. That way, when neighbors throw a kegger, a pipe breaks, or someone gets locked out, they can simply log in and let you know. Make sure you take advantage of Wufoo’s notification system, so you’ll be notified as soon as someone fills out the form and hits “submit.”
Collect rent – online!
Oh, the dreaded time of the month when you have to hunt down tenants for their rent checks. Instead of shuffling through all of the “I can’t find my checkbook” excuses, give renters a way to pay online. Just embed Wufoo’s Online Payment Form, and tenants can transfer money via some of the web’s most popular payment processing sites we partner with, like Stripe, PayPal, Braintree, Authorize.Net, and more.
Make it easy to book appointments
If you’re a realtor, or you’re a landlord who shows properties, simplify the appointment-booking process by allowing people to book their appointments online with our Appointment Booking and Scheduling Form. Integrate your calendar so that the appropriate slots show up. Just direct people to your website, and bam! They can schedule time to look at properties without having to call you to make an appointment.
Share and send all of those important files and applications
As someone who works in the real estate sector, you know all too well how many forms are involved. Applications. Agreements. Leases. Rules and Regulations. Etc, etc. Instead of trying to attach all of those forms through email, simply use Wufoo’s file upload field, which you can embed into any form. Direct people to your website, ask them to fill in their information, and then they can include documents by attaching them in the upload field. If you have really large documents, you can use our Dropbox Form, which ties into your existing Dropbox account.
