Work-life balance is a problem for many Americans. According to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the United States ranked 30 out of 38 countries analyzed when it comes to healthy work-life balance. The OECD found that about 1 in every 10 Americans work “very long hours” and the average worker dedicated only 14.4 hours to personal care and leisure.
Commercial real estate professionals might dedicate even less. After all, pulling a property manager away from his or her duties can be a difficult task. If said CRE pro knew that many of these duties could be handled by a commercial property management software solution, however, it might be a different story.
Time-Consuming Property Management Tasks
If you think you may have a work-life imbalance, ask yourself: why? What tasks are taking up most of your time? Could you be automating any of these tasks or do you stubbornly insist on doing them yourself? Here are a few property management tasks that tend to consume the most time for commercial real estate professionals:
- Monitoring assets like equipment and inventory
- Keeping up with expenses, losses, profits and other important accounting numbers
- Reviewing leases to identify upcoming commencements or expirations
- Screening and identifying prospective tenants
- Recording, organizing and storing records and documents
- Addressing complaints and maintenance requests
- Determining appropriate rent values
- Scheduling showings and communicating with prospects
- Marketing the property and trying to fill vacancies
The good news is that many of the above tasks can either be completely automated or assisted with commercial property management software like Quarem.
