What Property Managers Can Learn about Automation from Propertyware’s Inaas Arabi

This week’s Property Management Show podcast features John and Alex talking with Inaas Arabi about automation and how it will lead the property management industry into the future.

That’s right, John. So intriguing is this episode it brought John out of the John cave.

And, for good reason. Inaas has turned small businesses into large companies, and he has a lot of great insight on how you can grow your property management company.

The Path to Growth

According to Inaas, growing a property management business happens like this:

You add units.
You increase the revenue you bring in from existing units.
You cut expenses through customization and automation.

Imagine each of your property managers having 1,000 units in their portfolio.

Gasp. Sounds impossible, but Inaas has… Continue Reading What Property Managers Can Learn about Automation from Propertyware’s Inaas Arabi

The 40-Hour Work Year: Are You Working Too Much in Your Property Management Business?

Scott Fritz started, ran, and sold a company worth $170 million.

He was able to do that by training the business to run without him. So, when he joined Alex on this week’s Property Management Show, he had some questions for listeners like you:

Are you busy or are you productive?
Are you an entrepreneur or a business owner?
Are you doing things you could pay others to do (for less money)?

Make Your Business More Valuable

When your company can run on its own without you, it will be more valuable to potential buyers down the road. They won’t have to replace you or your salary, and they’ll know they’re buying more than a bunch of doors. They’re buying a brilliant business. That’s more valuable than a company that still needs its owner.

Growing, Str… Continue Reading The 40-Hour Work Year: Are You Working Too Much in Your Property Management Business?

Preparing Your PM Business for an Additional Location: How to Grow without Acquisition

Are you ready to expand your property management company into a new location? It’s great for growth, but if you’re not already known in that new market, how do you generate business without acquiring a local company?

This week on The Property Management Show, Alex talks to Jason Rose, who shares everything he knows about opening a property management company in a new location.

You’… Continue Reading How EOS Can Fuel Growing Property Management Companies

Taking Owners from Fear to Trust: Controlling the Whole Customer Experience

What is your strategy for reaching the 70 percent of owners who self-manage and won’t hire a professional property manager?

Are you leveraging the relationships you have with your current clients?

These are the questions Scott Brady, owner of Progressive Property Management, discusses with Alex on this week’s podcast.

Targeting Your Property Management Market

If you want to reach self-managing landlords, you need to give them a reason NOT to think you are:

* Untrustworthy
* Overpriced
* A generally unpleasant person

Be transparent. Surprise them with customer service. Offer value.

Scott and Alex discuss the current reputation that property managers are fighting, and how we can shift that individually and collectively.

Controlling the Customer Experience

Why send y… Continue Reading Taking Owners from Fear to Trust: Controlling the Whole Customer Experience
