It’s been a busy year for BeHome247! When we weren’t attending and speaking at engaging conferences nationwide, we were busy helping property managers make their operations more efficient and finding ways to transform the vacation rental experience. We’ve learned and shared a lot this past year, and we wanted to take a moment and reflect on some of our key takeaways from 2023.
As we move forward, we’re excited to continue our mission of property management support and innovation. We’re looking forward to helping you navigate the ever-evolving landscape of property management and create even more impactful solutions in the year ahead!
BeHome247 Partnerships
Strategic partnerships mark our journey, each contributing unique expertise, resources, and perspectives. With each new collaboration, we find inspiration and a powerful means to deliver more value and efficiency to our clients.
This past year, we teamed up with some exceptional companies, including Hostaway, Hostfully, and Guesty, to bring even more efficient solutions for your property management needs. These partnerships are poised to provide robust solutions to streamline operations, enhance guest and resident experiences, and unlock new possibilities for property managers of all types.
BeHome247 Industry News
We understand that property managers operate in a fast-paced, dynamic environment where every minute counts. By optimizing and automating property management tasks, including guest communication, maintenance requests, and contract management, BeHome247 leads the charge for change, empowering property managers to do more with less.
An example lies in BeHome247’s visionary VP of Engineering, Gonzalo Arreche. Integrating with Adobe Acrobat Sign to pioneer dynamic contracts, Arreche digitized and transformed the rental experience and contract management process entirely. Thanks to Arreche’s efforts, prospects can now visit properties with custom access, apply online, e-sign a customized lease, finalize the agreement, and receive access codes in minutes.
BeHome247 Resources
In a year of change and growth, BeHome247 remained dedicated to providing valuable property management resources. Through various blogs in our Resources Hub, we tackled pressing issues, offered expert insights, and shared helpful tips to help property managers excel in their roles. Whether providing guidance on technology implementation or ways to improve operational efficiency, we remained committed to supporting every step of the property management journey. A few key areas we concentrated on were:
Women in Tech
Women continue to make invaluable contributions to the tech industry, significantly impacting growth and innovation and paving the way for a more inclusive and dynamic landscape. In honor of #womenshistorymonth, we highlighted some of the most influential female voices in the industry. From the Alex and Annie Vacation Rental podcast to LinkedIn conversations with VRM Intel Founder Amy Hinote, this impressive list of dynamic women shared news and provided refreshing perspectives on the property management landscape.
We also took the opportunity to highlight our very own Ali Lauria, BeHome247 Director of Operations. With a track record of onboarding over 90% of the BeHome247 customers, her expert insights on achieving a smooth and effective platform implementation are a testament to her dedication and expertise. As we celebrate the achievements of women in tech, Ali stands as a shining example of leadership and innovation, embodying the progressive spirit of this dynamic field.
Sustainability in Property Management
Guided by our dedication to ecologically conscious practices and innovation, we strive to reduce energy consumption, conserve water, and minimize waste across the properties and owners we serve. This ongoing journey of environmental responsibility continues to fuel our unwavering commitment to building a greener, more sustainable future.
To support property managers in their sustainability efforts, we highlighted how each piece of smart technology can work together to offer a best-in-class resident experience, making properties more profitable and resulting in significant energy savings. We also emphasized conservation and green alternatives as crucial components for long-term success in the vacation rental industry.
Streamlining Property Management Operations
The transformative power of a streamlined tech stack is undeniable, equipping property managers with efficient communication and centralized data management. Although no two businesses are alike, all property managers share a desire for easy-to-use, flexible, and scalable solutions that optimize processes. It’s all about finding simplicity within complexity and making technology work for your operations.
This past year, we identified key components to boost productivity and help property managers maintain a competitive edge. With our handy step-by-step process for upgrading your tech stack, we outlined essential tools designed to optimize operations, drive growth, and thrive in this highly competitive market.
