Tips to improve the unit maintenance process

A smoother maintenance system isn't just about repairs; it's about making your property a winning place to live for the long haul. So, by getting smart about how you prioritize, organize, and communicate through your maintenance request process, you're not just fixing things faster, you are making residents happier. 

Why a bad experience can still lead to a great residence review

Research shows that when a problem is handled quickly and effectively, residents often walk away even more satisfied than if the issue had never occurred. This is known as the Service Recovery Paradox, and it offers a powerful opportunity for multifamily teams to strengthen relationships and build lasting loyalty.

Collect resident feedback before they hit online reviews

75% of renters check out a community’s online reviews before making contact. When it comes to your online reputation, a single negative review can steer potential renters away, leaving the managers at a disadvantage. Small things such as delays in communication can spiral into resentment, causing a dent in the property's reputation. What if we were able to address the concerns before they ever went public? Collecting proactive feedback allows your team to address issues before they escalate.
