Resident satisfaction can be achieved in many ways such as through reputation management, maintenance response times and competitive choice of amenities but at the core of everything, is communication.<\/p>\n<p class=\"is-style-intro\">How do you communicate better? Staying connected and offering convenience has never been so important, and equally, has never been easier.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-maintain-brand-consistency\" class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-default\"><strong>Maintain Brand Consistency<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"is-style-default\">Your brand is often what first attracts your residents to choose your building as their home. Prospects will explore your beautifully designed property websites that showcase your offering; it\u2019s equally important to maintain the same level of service and brand perception once they choose your community. An easily accessible resident app can be downloaded from app stores, giving your prospects and residents the tools to engage and thrive in their new home.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-ease-the-move-in-process\" class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-large-intro\"><strong>Ease the Move-In Process<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"is-style-default\">Before your residents move in, get them integrated into your community from the start to ensure they feel excited and welcome. With a resident app like Yardi RentCafe<em>,<\/em> you can communicate by sending them welcome packs, including neighbourhood and property information, and inspection forms to ease the move-in process.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-spark-community-engagement\" class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-large-intro\"><strong>Spark Community Engagement<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"is-style-default\">Bulletin boards mean residents can create authentic communities between each other, outside of organised events. Send your residents automated notifications and announcements such as tenancy renewal information, review surveys, invitations to events, property information and much more.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-facilitate-app-based-payments\" class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-large-intro\"><strong>Facilitate App-Based Payments<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"is-style-default\">Covid has accelerated the need for touchless transactions. Keep your residents safe and offer convenience with in-app purchases and payment services such as reviewing account balances, setting up direct debits, and paying rent and amenities.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-speed-up-maintenance-amp-repair-work\" class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-large-intro\"><strong>Speed-Up Maintenance &amp; Repair Work<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"is-style-default\">The Build to Rent market is working together to banish perceptions of \u2018bad landlords\u2019 who take too long to respond to maintenance requests. With an integrated app, residents can quickly log maintenance requests and easily track workorders for maintenance teams.<\/p>\n<p class=\"is-style-default\">These are just some of the benefits of utilising a resident app, one that can be branded to your community\u2019s look and feel is even better.
