People choose to move for all sorts of reasons and they choose the place they want to live in for an even more diverse set of reasons. We are coming into the “busy” season for rental and real estate markets right now. While the “prime” wedding season seems to shift around the calendar from year to year, most people move in the summer. Why is the summer the busy season and not the fall? Personally, I would rather move on a cool fall day than a hot summer one every time, but that is not the way it works.
One of the reasons that people move in the summer has to do with school. Most parents try to avoid disrupting their children’s school year by choosing the summer to do any new move. Choosing a place to live in a good school district can be a major driver for where people choose to live as well, but by no means the only one. In the rental, apartment and condo markets, building amenities are a big draw and can sway the decision to, or away from, your property.
Most building amenities are things that were added during the construction or costly re-construction of your property, such as gyms, pools, storage spaces or parking garages. If you don’t have one of these items yet, it will be very difficult indeed to add them now. However, these are not the only amenities that can and do sway your next potential resident. As you know, little things matter too, like making sure that the brass door handles are kept brightly polished. In NYC, some brass fixtures are polished so often that you can actually see areas where the brass is thinner than others, worn like the gentle foot fall groves in old marble stairs. Buildings do this to show that they are clean and ordered.
Cleaning and polishing brass is not the only way to show order. Having a package tracking system with a lobby monitor that displays the units which have packages waiting for them also shows your buildings commitment to order and service. Package tracking software may not immediately jump to mind when striving to improve occupancy rates, but it is one of those little things that make a big difference. EZTrackIt’s residential package tracking system allows you to save time and money in the package logging process while adding the “wow” factor. EZTrackIt’s package tracking software provides the high touch service for you with both the lobby monitor and the automatic text messages or emails to your residents when they get a package. There are reasons why the big new buildings all have a package display in their lobbies. Shouldn’t your property be in the same league? It can be with EZTrackIt’s service focused package tracking system.
