What is the property manager?

Alongside the app and the dashboard, the Property Manager is one of the three central applications of our product. As a central management tool, it forms the heart of all functions.

The Property Manager also assists with the management of rental agreements and communication with tenants to ensure that rent is paid on time and correctly. In addition, the Property Manager offers comprehensive communication options for tenants and enables the targeted provision of app content, such as special offers and/or documents.

FAQ - Frequently asked questions.

What does a property manager do?

Property managers are responsible for the management and administration of real estate. Their tasks include tenant and owner management, letting properties, monitoring costs and income and organizing maintenance measures. In terms of comprehensive property management, property managers are also often responsible for property accounting and contracts and act as a partner between property owners, tenants and service providers. Their aim is to increase the value of the property in the long term and ensure that all processes run smoothly.

What is the difference between property and facility management?

Property management focuses on the economic and strategic management of a property. Above all, this means optimizing income, managing letting and looking after tenants and owners. Facility management, on the other hand, is more focused on the technical and infrastructural activities surrounding the building. Facility managers take care of maintenance work, cleaning services and security aspects, for example. Both areas are part of comprehensive real estate management, but are often carried out by different companies or departments.

Why is digitalization so important in property management?

Digitalization enables more efficient property management and facilitates interaction between owners, managers, service providers and tenants. Digital tools and platforms enable property managers to automate property accounting, monitor building management in real time and analyze relevant data more quickly, for example. This leads to significantly better transparency, lower costs and improved collaboration between all parties involved in the real estate industry.

What advantages does property management offer owners and tenants?

• For owners: Property managers take over the ongoing management of the property, optimize income and ensure compliance with legal requirements. Professional property management secures and increases the owners' capital in the long term.
• For tenants: Property managers act as a central point of contact for all concerns. They ensure that repairs, rental issues and utility bills are dealt with promptly and guarantee a safe living and working environment.
