The Secret to Property Management? It’s All About Relationships
Managing tenants, owners, vendors, and regulators across spreadsheets, emails, and calls is hard. BaseCloud is a CRM that centralizes your properties, people, and processes so nothing slips through the cracks.
Transformative Tenant Management: More Than Just Contact Info
Consider this scenario: Emily, a tenant at your Seattle property, has a cat, is due for lease renewal in two months, and reported a leaky faucet last week. With BaseCloud, each tenant is a detailed client record you can act on.
Here’s how it works:
- Custom Fields: Emily’s record includes lease start and end dates, unit number, rent payment history, and pet details.
- Comprehensive View: Every interaction—from maintenance requests to lease documents—is tracked and available instantly.
- Customer Satisfaction: When Emily calls about her lease, you already have her profile open with renewal options.
Without This: You’re digging through folders and email threads.
With This: Every interaction is organized, improving tenant relationships.
Automation: Maintenance Requests That Handle Themselves
A tenant submits a maintenance request at 9:00 AM via a web form. At 9:01 AM, the maintenance manager is notified, the tenant receives confirmation, and a vendor is assigned based on rules you define.
- Real-Time Updates: Tenants get SMS and email updates as requests progress.
- Vendor Notifications: The selected vendor receives the job details automatically.
Without This: Requests get lost or delayed.
With This: A clear, accountable maintenance workflow.
Lease Renewals on Autopilot
BaseCloud tracks expiration dates and prompts timely action.
What happens:
- 90 Days Before: A task is created for the property manager to start renewal discussions.
- 60 Days Before: An automated email with renewal terms is sent to the tenant.
- 45 Days Before: If no response, a follow-up task reminds you to send an SMS.
Without This: Last-minute scrambling for agreements.
With This: A predictable, stress-free renewal process.
Owner Reporting: Metrics That Matter
Keep owners informed with live dashboards and scheduled reports.
- Occupancy & Collections: Real-time data across your portfolio.
- Financial Reports: Automated monthly PDFs delivered to owners.
Without This: Manual spreadsheets and ad hoc updates.
With This: Transparent reporting that builds trust.
Vendor Coordination Done Right
Coordinate plumbers, electricians, and other vendors directly from your CRM.
- Vendor Contacts: Store all vendor information in one place.
- Automated Assignments: Route jobs to the right vendor based on service type and location.
- Job Notifications: Vendors receive automatic alerts with full scope and timing.
Without This: Missed calls and miscommunication.
With This: Consistent, reliable vendor management.
The Payment Puzzle: Solved
Automate invoicing and reminders so rent collection stays on schedule.
- Automated Invoicing: Generate and track rent invoices through integrations like Xero.
- Late Payment Notices: Send reminders to tenants for overdue balances.
Without This: Monthly follow-ups and uncertainty.
With This: On-time payments and clear records.
