Yes, communication is pivotal in nearly all the roles of a condo property manager. We have identified some of the most common pitfalls of condo communication. And how they can be rectified with property management tools.

Visitor Registration

Accurate visitor registration and tracking are crucial for security and concierge teams. A good visitor registration app needs to be both accurate and convenient. Accuracy affects the entire usability and functionality of the system itself. Most systems recognize the importance of accuracy to visitor registration apps.

Service Requests

Improving accountability for service requests requires well-structured communication management. Miscommunication and poor tracking of requests can mean jobs get missed. The drip of a leaky sink is a constant reminder to a tenant that their service request has not been met. That means dealing with more complaints. In this scenario, the fault is typically placed at the feet of the condo manager. An improved service request system automatically tracks service requests, repairs, and status. That means there is accountability at each level of activity. As a result, problems or delays can be identified and rectified. Using an automated system means immediate updates when an action is overdue. So you can proactively solve problems before a complaint can occur. The solution is to manage condo service requests online. Service requests can pile up fast. An online service is best equipped to monitor large volumes of service requests. All request channels are simply managed. Updates are logged in the system automatically. And follow-up reminders are sent to ensure requests are up to date.

Communication With Residents

Being able to quickly and easily connect with residents is a key component of condo management. It is far too easy for a disconnect between residents and managers to form. Every hurdle and barrier in communication widens this gap, compounding the issue. One common source of this disconnect is using too many property management tools. When your tools don’t work together organization suffers and miscommunications occur. An all-in-one communication platform makes communication easier and more reliable. Another cause for concern is using outdated technology. Relying on print or home phone to communicate and relay information is slow. It is also less reliable since most people are shifting away from these communication platforms. Simply switching to texts, SMS, or email is not necessarily the right answer. The best approach here is to allow the consumer to select how they want to be contacted. This ensures they will receive messages on their most reliable channel. A good all-in-one system will allow you to push notifications out at once that can reach all residents on their preferred platform. An online property management tool simplifies communication connecting staff owners and tenants. It is the best option for communicating with residents. Lobby display software, online communication, and condo discussion forums are accessible and easy to use. A mobile app means you can access communication anywhere at anytime.
