We’re now into the final part of the year – usually a time when we’re trying to tie up loose ends and evaluate how successful our year has been.
At this time, it’s important to remember that success means something different to everyone. While there are those who are kicking amazing goals in their achievements, there are others where basic survival is necessary just to claw to that end of year deadline.
During this last quarter, it is a great opportunity to take a step back, pause and look at your business and where it is currently positioned. Are there still some areas that need to be achieved to ensure that you are on the road to hitting those goals that you planned out in the first quarter of 2018?
When we are looking at your Property Management Department, there are a few key areas that are essential to take a look at when gaining an overview of it’s functionality:
- Systems – are they up to the challenge to help you achieve your goals and keep your cogs turning effectively? If there are some gaps, are they identifiable and what needs to change to ensure that they are water tight.
- Technology – Is the current technology in your office working for you or is there something out there that may help to achieve less stress and give you back more time. Keep in mind there are so many options and it is never a one size fits all approach. Find what works best for your team.
- Training – are your team up to date with their training and understanding of all that is required of their role, compliance and managing your client’s assets.
- Growth – have you achieved the growth that you aimed to this year? Have there been any road blocks along the way, what were they and do any changes need to be made to get to that goal?
- Reporting – is there a reporting process in place to measure the KPI’s of your team and ensure that you have your finger on the pulse?
If any of these steps seem a little daunting and you aren’t sure of where to begin, don’t forget that you can contact the team at Real+ to have a talk about options and what is required to get you on track. A little end of year health check may just be the thing to identify any areas for improvement and ensure that you hit the ground running in 2019.
