In this episode of The Property Desk, join Phil Silberman and Robert Vernon as they explore the high-tech evolution of residential property management. They break down the best strategies for setting lease prices, debating whether to rely on AI-driven services or manual market analysis to maximize owner returns. The duo dives into the logistics of modern listings, from professional photography costs to the pros and cons of manual Zillow postings versus automated feeds from Appfolio and local MLS boards. They also tackle the front lines of tenant relations and security, discussing how AI can handle basic "is it still available" inquiries and the effectiveness of prequalification. Learn about the latest tools in fraud prevention, including Appfolio’s facial recognition ID verification and automated employment screening. Finally, the team discusses the nuances of lease drafting, the move toward digital deposit collections via Zelle, and whether showing a property while a tenant is still in place is worth the hassle.
