This blog post is sponsored by  TenantCloud. I’ve always thought that managing rental properties was one of the hardest jobs in the real estate world. When you’re trying to maintain a growing portfolio of properties, with tenants who are constantly moving around, submitting maintenance requests, missing payments and dishing out a never-ending list of jobs to do, life can get stressful in a hurry. Being a landlord can easily become a full-time job, and if you don’t have a good system to keep the chaos in order, you can quickly fall into the DIY landlord stereotype of overlooking details, losing track of emails and missing deadlines. Even though a landlord’s job can be full of challenges, there are some pretty effective ways to eliminate the most common issues, so you can stop stressing out and start focusing on growing a healthier business that actually improves your life. In this blog post, I’m going to show you 5 ways TenantCloud can be a total game-changer for landlords. I...

In a recent report from the National Association of Realtors, 44% of all home buyers used an online resource as a first step in searching for a new home. For home sellers, the internet played a significant role during the selling process as well, as websites were one of the main tools used to market a home. With more and more home buyers and sellers relying on online resources for their real estate goals, it’s now more important than ever for agents to be well-versed in how clients navigate the internet.

Not long ago, I was reflecting on how glad I am that I hardly ever have to go to the post office anymore. My local post office is a nightmare to work with. Example #1 – Last Christmas season, one of the local news stations did an expose’ on our post office because they had packages strung out all over the ground, sorting them on the lawn (in bad weather). Example #2 (and #3 and #4) – I have multiple times taken home security camera video to the postmaster showing him that our postal carrier never came to the door asking me to sign for a “signature required” package – instead they just put an “attempted delivery” card in the mailbox rather than get out of the mail van and walk to the door. In all three instances, it was an eagerly awaited and expected cashier’s check on its way back to me from a mobile notary in a postage-paid and tracked Priority Mail envelope. Anyway, I digress….
