“It was a huge eye-opener for us when we instituted [flexible payments] back in the fall. Our outstanding accounts dropped dramatically just by offering that flexibility to our residents… there’s certainly a need for this everywhere as an option.”
Abigail Diller, Director of Training and Compliance

“The biggest impact for us is when technology eliminates manual steps for our onsite teams. If we can remove the burden of remembering to perform redundant tasks like collecting documents, that’s a win.”
Megan Gibbon, Director of Transactions and Portfolio Operations

“In today’s market, people could care less what our policies and rules are. They care about how they feel. The resident is king. If we want to keep them, we need to better understand and relate to them. They’ll pay more to feel better. They’ll pay more if they like you and the experience you’re providing.”
Mary Kahl, SVP of Property Management
