A dedication to making residents’ lives easier takes shape as relationship-building. It embodies the customer-centric approach that has the power to differentiate your property in today’s cluttered market. We’ve profiled a few more apps that offer a great convenience for multifamily dwellers:

Homejoy

For a busy millennial generation, finding time to clean your apartment can be a chore within itself. Homejoy is a mobile application that allows you to seamlessly schedule, book and pay for professional cleaning services. It’s a simple, 90-second, 3-step process to complete an order. All you need to do is provide a zip code and a few details about your apartment, pick a convenient time, and provide payment information. Booked! It’s as simple as that.

Updated 06/08/17: We’re sad to report that Homejoy is no more. If you’re interested in housekeeping, we recommend new startup Housekeeper.com.

Getwashio

In today’s multifamily living, washers and dryers are often an added expense, sometimes requiring several trips to the property’s laundry room. Getwashio is a laundry service that picks up dirty clothes, cleans them, then drops them back off. The convenience? No need for residents to leave their apartment. Again, for the busy millennial lifestyle, this hassle-free solution to the weekly laundry task can be an invaluable convenience. Getwashio is currently offered only in Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Washington D.C., and they’re expanding fast.

Mobile Doorman

The above two apps provide conveniences that you can pass along to your residents. But, has your multifamily property thought about improving the way you service your residents? Mobile Doorman is a mobile app that provides multifamily properties with a streamlined system for managing property tasks. Residents are able to make payments, place a maintenance request, check in visitors, monitor package arrivals and much more through this mobile application. It also offers several other resident conveniences and amenities, such as the ability to book a taxi, make restaurant reservations, etc. The system is wholly customized to your property and your neighborhood. Millennials and the upcoming Gen Z are growing accustomed to these mobile conveniences, and there’s no reason their multifamily property can’t offer the same.

The name of the game is convenience. Even when we’re merely passing these conveniences along to our residents, we’re demonstrating a commitment to making residents’ lives easier.
