Since Software Advice launched our s oftware for property management buyer's guide in early 2009, we've talked with over one thousand people during their search for property management software. This week, we're moving from the anecdotal to the empirical with our Property Management Technology Survey.

The survey is a short one – only 15 questions – and will only take you a couple of minutes to complete. Our goal with the survey is to create a 2009 snapshot of how property managers are using the vast amount of technology available to them. We're trying to gather as much data as possible so please forward this blog post to your colleagues so they can participate. The survey will close on Wednesday, December 9th, at 9 PM central time.

I have been in the property management business for over 25 years. Previously there was no internet presence. Now, much of the business is internet based. The internet is a huge help to people relocating, giving them a visual aid of what is available. Much communication can be done prior to a prospect arriving in a new town. We still get a lot of action off of signs, however.

The internet has finally evolved to empower movers to easily graze a broad variety of online venues. In tough economic times online movers may feel more confident than in years passed renting sight un-seen… the scope of financial benefits ranging anywhere from one less tank of gas to Airfare in some cases.
