Two Seas Property Management, a property management company based in Kailua, Hawaii, was facing significant challenges in managing its portfolio of over 90 single-family rental homes and condos. The company was using various software solutions that were cumbersome, inefficient, and not user-friendly. The process of tenant screening and preparing owner reports was manual and time-consuming. The company had to deal with multi-step processes that required opening multiple screens to track anything, and even then, they had to refer to paper files for actual copies of bills. Maintenance was another major challenge, as each property had different needs and managing these across town was a daunting task. The company was also looking to delegate more day-to-day tasks to assistants to focus on winning new business and providing personalized service to renters and owners.
