When we initially activated 1Form for our managers\u00a0almost a decade ago, we were\u00a0shocked to be met with an overwhelming chorus of protests. Back in those days, managers were not impressed that they were receiving applications via 1Form and demanded we switch the service off again, at once! The objections ranged from inconvenience at having to use something \u201cnew\u201d, to distrust of a 3rd<\/sup> party forwarding tenant information, to the complaint that they were \u201cgetting too many applications\u201d for properties (Do you remember when getting too many rental applications was your biggest problem? What a time to be alive!) Of course this was 8-9 years ago when most managers could also get by with nothing more than a \u2018vacancies\u2019 sign out front.<\/p>\n

How times have changed! The massive influx in new apartment complexes has created a “tenant’s market” and caused a lot of managers to rethink their strategy in recent times. A lot of the old-school managers have retired and a new generation of onsite manager has moved in, hungry to do everything they can to maximise their management rights business. The next generation of onsite manager\u00a0is\u00a0becoming formidably effective at marketing rentals. We\u2019re seeing them using professional photography as opposed to blurred camera phone snaps, better written ads including floor plans, upgraded listings for increased marketing exposure. The days of the humble A-Frame sign being the extent of a manager\u2019s marketing toolkit are well and truly over. Managers today have to be adaptive, nimble and smart to ensure their complex stands out.<\/p>\n

The latest tool we\u2019re offering managers to stand out is;\u00a0for a second time; 1Form. Only this time it seems managers are ready for it! 1Form is a really great, free system, that allows a tenant to store all of their identification, references and rental history in a single system, and they can then apply for properties easily, and without the fuss of having to re-submit the same pieces of information over and over again. It\u2019s a really good system and tenants are now driving uptake\u2026 being far more inclined to apply for a property that accepts 1Form applications because it makes their life easier. In today’s rental climate, it\u2019s becoming really important that managers accept 1Form applications. It also makes a manager\u2019s life easier \u2013 all tenant references can be easily screened \u2013 all paperwork is automatically and securely backed up off site, in a safe digital form \u2013 and of course it\u2019s a totally free service.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re really glad managers are now embracing 1Form, we\u2019ve had almost 100% positive feedback this time around. If there\u2019s a tool or service you use in your complex that you think could benefit all our managers, don\u2019t hesitate to let us know in the comments below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
