HousingPoint allows landlords and property managers to directly list their units and update availability via the Internet with the following features.
After establishing a user account, landlords and property managers can list and update units via the Internet 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Property Manager functions allow users to independently manage their accounts and change account details, such as contact information and password, and they can add, edit, and delete additional registered users at their company. They can also designate the security access level of users and the primary contact(s) for specific properties.
Adding new properties to HousingPoint is made as simple as possible through the use of the HousingPoint "wizard", a feature providing step-by-step instructions for inputting the details on the available property.
The steps are:
Building Type
Property Details
Confirm Location
Tracking System
Unit/Style Overview
Unit Names
Unit Details
Primary Contacts
Photos
Documents including rental applications, screening criteria and pet policies
Review
Once a property is listed, the user can edit property and unit information with easy to use screens.
In an effort to ensure that up-to-date and "fresh" information is listed in the system at all times, property managers are sent weekly email update reminders. In addition, HousingPoint keeps listings fresh by expiring properties that have not been updated. See the chart below for expiration timelines.
