We like having choices: Paper or Plastic? Vanilla or Chocolate? Credit or Debit? The ability to select an option that fits our own specific needs is as American as apple pie…or cherry cheesecake. As Property Solutions works with property management companies all over the country, we’ve discovered that an ideal Check Scanning solution for one client may not be a perfect fit for another. So we give you a choice:

Our flagship check scanning product, ResidentPay Desktop™, is a simple solution that makes it possible for you to process payments made by check or money order right in your office. No more trips to the bank! Payments are processed electronically and automatically integrated with your property management software, saving you both time and money. With this easy-to-use interface, you simply scan your checks and confirm and process each one in a single step.

Remember Mad Libs? Many years ago, before the advent of in-car DVD players, those wacky word games saved generations of children from interminable road-trip boredom. Strangely enough, the Mad Libs model seems to be making a comeback in the world of online forms. Property Solutions is now offering fill-in-the-blank “Mad Libs” guest cards at no extra charge to ProspectPortal™ users.

“Mad Libs” style guest cards ask visitors to your website for the same information found in a typical guest card, but in a friendly new narrative format. The form is easy to use and understand: prospective renters simply fill in the blanks. Other industries using “Mad Libs” style forms have reported an increased conversion rate of 25-40%. As always, your guest cards integrate seamlessly with your property management software for better lead management.

This month we’re excited to introduce a brand new community website design: Rustic. If living at your property feels like coming home to a comfortable mountaintop lodge then this is the template for you. The Rustic template features a variety of visual textures and is full of the little touches that indicate yours is the kind of property that pays attention to details. Visitors to your homepage can easily scroll through all of your property photos with the click of a button, and additional property information is only a click away. Calls to action are noticeable, but friendly, encouraging visitors to send a guest card or log in to the resident portal. Feeling Rustic? Call your Property Solutions Account Manager today.
