Philadelphia Property Management Software: How Appfolio Works
JG Real Estate uses Appfolio for our property management software. It is a web-based property management service that benefits both our agency and, more importantly, our clients.
What Works For Us:
- This online manager allows for instant access to manage your properties from any computer. With this completely web-based software, we can now make any destination our office. Snow storm? roads closed? Holidays? No problem. JG Real Estate can log-in from any computer daily and take a look at what’s going on with your properties. In this way, we never stop working for you.
- Online advertising is enhanced. We already have a vast array of marketing services, but now we can additionally log in through Appfolio and instantly link to Craigslist or any other rental site with a few easy steps.
- Finances are easily accounted for. There is no need for the confusion of multiple financial banking sites because through Appfolio we can add late fees, view the entire payment history of that particular tenant, track utility bills due, and mortgage and loan payments due. We can tell you when the tenants paid, when you were paid, and when all future payments are due.
But what sets Appfolio apart from the rest, at least for us, are the benefits that it offers to our clients.
What Works For You:
- Appfolio gives us an outlet to have constant communication with you. If there is information that applies to all of our clients, we are able to send mass messages, which is more efficient than emailing or calling individually would do. We can solve problems quickly and more efficiently.
- Tenants have the ability to pay their rent online. In return, we have the ability to directly transfer these funds to YOU. Instant income.
- Because of the efficiency and accountability that this management software offers, tenants have a better experience and are more likely to re-new their leases. No vacancies for you is exactly what your investment property requires.
- Instant access to view your online statements. Through our owner log-in portals, you can see exactly how your rental properties are doing. We do all the work, but you maintain control and nothing is kept from you.
- Appfolio becomes one more way that your Philly rental property can be found by potential tenants when it’s vacant. This increase in viewing means an increase in applicants.
Our Favorite Aspects:
- What proves most helpful for you is the online payment option.
- Residents can pay their rent online in a matter of seconds.
- This option alone saves an incredible amount of time and eliminates the hassle of waiting for the bank to process checks, etc. and you will reduce the cost of processing those checks.
- To make it even easier, it integrates directly into your records. Owners can be paid with the ACH functionality, where funds are deposited directly into your bank account. This decreases the waiting time and increases the security of the payment.
Appfolio is not the only site that provides the details listed above but it is the best in our opinion. It works for you and it works for us and it does so efficiently.
