Efficiency Matters!

There is no rest for landlords in San Diego. The COVID-19 pandemic is giving many people a lot more downtime, but property owners do not have that luxury. They must stay on top of things to keep their real estate portfolio in order.

Rent must be collected on a timely basis. We do not know from day to day if there will be a freeze placed on rent, so there is no room for mistakes. Tenants must be reminded that they still owe rent and late rent, even if it is only one or two days, is not acceptable. Rent that is lost in the mail compounds the problem.

Because renters are stuck in their apartments, the possibility of accidents and damage rises. Repair work must be done as soon as possible, and contractors must be familiar with pandemic protocols. The repairman must be able to work without creating an infection risk.

A landlord may need money to maintain the property and waiting for government bailouts or stimulus checks will not help. A landlord in San Diego must be able to get a loan as quickly as possible and those loan requests must be accurate. The same is true for any financial report that a creditor wants to see.

Computerize Everything

This all points to the need to utilize technology in Property Management. Rent should be collected through electronic transfers, and tenants must be able to report repair needs as soon as they can. Property Managers must provide accurate financial information for loan requests and other financial matters; human error can cause problems. Finally, tenants need to be notified of any updates as soon as possible, and the US Mail is not a fast courier. Contacting tenants via email and text are quicker, more reliable ways to share information.



Letting Go Of the Old Ways

Personal relations with tenants are essential, and these days, a quick response to problems is crucial. It is not easy to have meetings with tenants when social distancing is necessary. Property Management companies in San Diego can provide the kind of assistance a landlord needs to keep the boat on an even keel. These professionals make use of technology to enhance efficiency and maintain Real Estate profitability. Alta Vista Properties is committed to prompt and active service.



We Embrace Technology

We have been in the Property Management business for over 3 decades, and tenants in San Diego know our stellar reputation. We use electronic transfers for rent collection so that money is received in a landlord’s account on time. Using the AppFolio software allows us to generate financial reports as soon as they are required, and all figures are accurate.

Tenants are able to report any need for repair work on our website and we respond quickly for the sake of the tenant. Because of the need to social distance, we use emails, telephone calls, and texting to keep tenants aware of what is going on. Alta Vista Properties values the relationships they have established with renters. The pandemic will not stop us from being of service to those who occupy the properties that we manage.

We have also established protocols to deal with coronavirus, and we adhere to them strictly. We can assure you that your tenants will be kept safe.
