The cost-of-living crisis is forcing people to rent as buying a home is tough in the current climate. So, property management services are in high demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Property management companies have stiff competition with each other as it\u2019s a <em>lot<\/em> of work to manage properties. There are tenants and landlords to look after. And lots of rules and regulations to follow. The phone never stops ringing\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem? Many property management services only answer calls within office hours. And calls don\u2019t stop just because you\u2019re closed. Emergencies can \u2013 and do! \u2013 happen at all hours. Burst pipes, burglaries, tenants needing help as they\u2019ve locked themselves out, etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emergencies require an immediate response, not a voicemail machine. Plus, research from Forbes found that around 80% of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.answerconnect.com\/ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">customers won\u2019t leave a voicemail<\/a> anyway.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Effective communication is key because problems pile up when it\u2019s poor. It may feel like a big ask to answer calls 24\/7, but it\u2019s much easier than it sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The need for property management answering services<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Answering services take incoming calls on behalf of other companies. They have teams of well-trained, friendly receptionists available 24\/7. Customers won\u2019t know they\u2019re talking to an outsourced service as they follow customized brand scripts. They sound just like you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most businesses only have customers to look after. But property management teams have a lot more to manage. It\u2019s complex at the best of times. A property management answering service can help by ensuring communication lines stay open 24\/7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Common challenges for property management companies:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Tenant issues: <\/strong>The majority of phone calls come from tenants. Payment issues, break-ins, maintenance requests, needing someone to let them in as they\u2019re locked out, etc.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Property maintenance: <\/strong>Properties require regular checkups for boilers, HVAC equipment, etc. And unfortunate issues like leaks, termites, and pest infestation require urgent attention.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Regulatory compliance:<\/strong> Rules and regulations require close attention as they\u2019re always changing. Safety standards, fair housing regulations, and landlord-tenant laws must be adhered to.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Finance management:<\/strong> Property management must collect rent payments and provide all financial reports to landlords. It\u2019s your job to keep the process simple for them; they should only be contacted if it\u2019s necessary.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Managing systems and technology: <\/strong>Managing appointments, emails, payments, and contracts all day gets overwhelming. You need an effective system so staff can focus on doing their jobs without losing time and energy to tech issues.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Risk management: <\/strong>You need to carry out frequent inspections to assess potential risks that could affect tenants, the property, and the landlord.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Industry competition: <\/strong>Landlords and tenants need to trust their property management service. If tenants get fed up, they may look to live somewhere else. The same goes for landlords. They may look for another service if their current one can\u2019t provide stability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/answerconnect-blog\/1\/2024\/04\/man-taking-the-calls.jpg\" alt=\"man taking the calls\" class=\"wp-image-11779\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/answerconnect-blog\/1\/2024\/04\/man-taking-the-calls.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/answerconnect-blog\/1\/2024\/04\/man-taking-the-calls-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/answerconnect-blog\/1\/2024\/04\/man-taking-the-calls-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/answerconnect-blog\/1\/2024\/04\/man-taking-the-calls-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How answering services benefit property management services<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>24\/7 answering services offer property management businesses more than just answering calls. They can improve your entire workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The benefits of a 24\/7 answering service:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>24\/7 availability: <\/strong>Friendly virtual receptionists can take calls outside of office hours and action protocols around the clock. This stops your mornings from getting derailed by a backlog of voicemails from annoyed customers who tried to call you outside office hours.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Provide 5-star customer service 24\/7: <\/strong>Tenants can speak to a friendly and well-trained receptionist no matter what time they call. This 24\/7 availability provides a professional touch and builds trust as tenants know help is at hand. Always.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Provide an out-of-hours emergency service: <\/strong>Answering services can handle emergency cases so you don\u2019t need to worry about neglecting tenants when they need you the most. Receptionists can follow your protocol to ensure tenants get help ASAP.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A streamlined workflow: <\/strong>Tedious tasks can be taken off your hands. Answering services can transfer calls, set appointments, and offer integrations to push phone call information straight to your CRM after the call ends.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reduce costs: <\/strong>Hiring additional in-house staff requires advertising, interviewing, and training. It takes a lot of time and money. Plus, it\u2019s difficult to maintain the right level of service. Answering services are more convenient, cost-effective, and flexible than hiring internally.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/answerconnectus.setmore.com\/r94d609af9ae1abcd0f3c700c7ec984db0cfa222b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Book a free consultation<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Evaluating answering service providers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Answering services have been around since the 1940s as their ROI is undeniable. There are many to choose from but property management answering service experience is key. There are many types of calls to expect. And each of them has a unique protocol to follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The last thing you need is an answering service that takes calls\u2026 <em>yet<\/em> doesn\u2019t seem to make you any more productive! And that can happen with basic answering services that lack your industry\u2019s experience and a good level of customization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Look for a property management answering service with:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>A proven track record:<\/strong> Your reputation is too important to take chances with.

Brand scripts ensure every virtual receptionist answering the phone on your company\u2019s behalf sounds just like you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Flexible &amp; simple contracts: <\/strong>A business\u2019s needs change over time. Look for a contract that\u2019s easy to understand and provides flexibility, so you can upgrade\/downgrade your plan at any time.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Integrations: <\/strong>A property management answering service should have integrations to connect with tools you already use.

List your current tenant retention rates, satisfaction scores, maintenance response times, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Compare before and after: <\/strong>Break down the current cost of service and KPIs before working with a property management answering service. And then do the same each month after working with one.
