There are never enough hours in the day to do everything on your to-do list. Not only are you in charge of your normal property management duties, but you also have to deal with everything that pops up throughout the day.

Each office has its own set of tasks and frustrations. Multiple that by however many properties you manage, and you could have a mess on your hands unless you have some good time management tools and techniques.

Instead of relying on sticky notes and calendar reminders, take advantage of some newer technology to better manage your tasks. There are a variety of CRMs, project management tools and other software that will help make you more efficient.

Make your job a little easier by using these five time-management tools with your multiple properties.

Evercondo

Formerly known as Highrisepro, Evercondo puts all of your files, contacts and information in one place, keeping you from going in a million direction. Here are some of its features:

  • Manages service requests
  • Send and receive approvals
  • Provides centralized access for multiple properties
  • Keeps files organized
  • Available online and on your phone

You can even store security record logs, track package deliveries and create incident reports. The more you can do with the software, the more time you’re going to save.

AssociationVoice

Another software that allows you to manage multiple buildings from one login account, AssociationVoice has specific features for managing office buildings:

  • Amenity book
  • Quick messaging
  • Preventative maintenance automation
  • Role-based access for entire building
  • Online payments
  • Documents library

There are Front Desk and Building Management editions of the software. Something that’s especially helpful for managing multiple properties is its at-a-glance dashboard.

AppFolio

Here are some of its features:

  • Built-in resident screening
  • Work orders
  • Collect rent online
  • 24/7 property management answering service
  • You can even use the software for marketing

Basecamp

You have several balls up in the air at any given time. Unless you’re a great juggler, you’re going to drop the ball with something if your hectic schedule continues.

Project management online tools like Basecamp can help you keep track of all of your (and other team members) tasks from your computer or mobile device. We use Basecamp to communicate with our inbound marketing team and manage projects.

It allows you to create and assign tasks, set deadlines, message others, share files and make sure you are staying on track. Basecamp also sends you reminders when a task is about to be due.

There are plenty of web-based project management tools out there besides Basecamp, including Trello, Podio and Asana. Try them out to see which one is best for you and your team.
