Just as doctors offices cut missed appointments by calling patients the day before, property managers and landlords can now have an automated web service assure their tenants pay the rent on time. "By contacting tenants before the rent is due, they're far more likely to pay on time," according to TenantContact.com, a web service that calls tenants on managers' behalf.
"ACH and auto-payments aren't reliable," maintains Rob Frankel of TenantContact.com, "since many tenants don't keep adequate funds in their checking accounts. Huge corporations may be able to absorb those kinds of costs, but they can kill profitability for most smaller property managers."
By automating the process (managers choose a script and upload the phone numbers), TenantContact makes calls to the tenants and residents, anywhere in North America, sparing office staff from the unpleasantness -- and the waste of time.
"Now your staff can get back to their real jobs," says Frankel, a branding consultant that helped RE/MAX take over California and Hawaii nearly ten years ago. "At 19¢ a call, this is what the web was made for. Affordable, secure efficiency that really works. We focus solely on communicating with your tenants before payments and other issues become a problem. Our pro-active phone calls keeps your property at the forefront of their obligations. They pay more promptly. You get more profitable."
TenantContact.com estimates that up to 60% of time and money spent on collections and evictions can be eliminated using their service. For chronic late payers, TenantContact features a variety of scripts and messages.
