Contact us We've teamed up with SureDeposit December 19th, 2006 Leave it to Diana Mosher and the folks at Multi-Housing News to spread the word. From this week's MHN Property Management Newsletter: SureDeposit, a provider of security deposit alternatives, and On-Site.com, a provider of web-based resident screening and lease technology, have entered into a strategic alliance. At the time of application, the leasing agent is automatically prompted to offer the prospective resident a choice between a traditional security deposit and SureDeposit's lower-cost surety bond. When the SureDeposit option is chosen, an enrollment form, risk-adjusted to leverage On-Site's screening recommendation and pre-filled with the applicant's data, is included with the lease and move-in package. We've always known that until you have control of your paperwork, it's impossible to have real control of your policies. So now, if our users want to make SureDeposit a priority, we make it simple to implement, and a cinch for brand new leasing agents to get up to speed. Alliance Residential is an early adopter of our combined interface. bond security deposit SureDeposit Jake Harrington's blog NY Times: Only the Strong Survive November 26th, 2006 The New York Times knocked on our door, asked me our secrets, took my photo and published a lead story in their Real Estate section. The Times asked: In a strong Manhattan rental market, just how good do your credentials need to be? The answer: Only the strongest survive. New York heavyweights weighed in their experience with screening residents, using as many dog references as possible: Citi Habitats: "It’s very pro-tenant here in terms of the courts. To evict someone who isn’t paying, it can take six months to go through the right legal process." Manhattan Skyline Management: "More information is always helpful, as far as we’re concerned." Us: "We have people all the time with a 700 to 800 FICO score, but their landlord-tenant record is horrible. We called the former landlord of a woman who had moved to New York from Georgia. Although her income and credit were excellent, her ex-landlord reported that she had not paid the rent for three months and abandoned her dog when she left." Anita Ray, who thought her credit was good enough: "It kind of makes you feel like you’ve done something wrong. You feel like a kicked puppy or something." Glenwood Management: "For some reason, when people go into a divorce, if it’s nasty, people stop paying their bills more often than not." Archstone-Smith: "You shouldn’t have the same feeling in your stomach as when your dentist tells you that you need a root canal." Get the full story.

Today he was kind enough to sing our praises, saying he's happy our company has become a fixture in the real estate world, going so far as: If you want to get a better idea of what the future will offer for real estate, watch Jake Harrington and On-Site.com very carefully. I could get used to this! New York Times Property Grunt Jake Harrington's blog Come one, come all... November 18th, 2006 Best known for its work with major residential property owners, On-Site.com is empowering small owners with the same smart tools for identifying and leasing to quality residents. So begins a piece in the November/December Mann Report, glossy magazine of the Manhattan glitterati. Or at least the magazine that sends a photographer to all the broker parties for new buildings. Publisher Jeff Mann, best known for showcasing himself was kind enough to give us a plug: The product RentNow™ provides landlords with an instant recommendation to rent based on background information and public records. Following an applicant's approval, the program enables a landlord to produce lease forms customized to individual state requirements that, with just one click, may be filled out, printed, and ready to sign. Smaller property owners often lack access to the same tools that the big guys use to mange risk. And things are only getting worse, with identity theft and crackdowns on access, thanks to our friends in the industry who were lax with the rules. Anyway, we're proud to announce that RentNow is now open for business. RentNow small landlords Jake Harrington's blog « first ‹ previous…4 5 6 7 8910 11 12next ›last » ©2008 On-Site Manager Inc.
