The Property Management Mastermind Show Tony Cline - COVID-19 Issues, Work From Home, New Tech and Policy Procedures Best Practices
Was your management company prepared for the mandated stay at home order? Listen as Brad and his guest, Tony Cline, discuss why his company was already working from home on this episode of Property Management Mastermind Show. Tony is running the Home Vault Property Management office in Denver, Colorado, he is an ultra runner of fifty to one hundred mile runs and a commissioner for the Arvada Urban Renewal Authority.
Tony shares that his company has been working from home for the last three years, so the work from home mandate changed nothing for them. He also speaks about videoconferencing and how his team was proactive with their communication and messaging with their landlords and tenants.
Brad and Tony chat about new technology they see that will help property management companies, why Brad's team has been looking at procedures and policy changes that will keep them relevant in the next thirty-six months and the belief that with technology, anything you can think of someone is probably working on and just trying to figure out how to make it profitable.
Listen as Tony shares his passion for being healthy and how important diet and exercise are when dealing with the stress, the marathons he runs, and what sparked his desire to get fit. Brad speaks about the Property Management Mastermind marathon he has organized that will include a mastermind session, a half marathon, and a full marathon.
If you are looking for a new perspective on working from home, new tech, and best practices for your business, you won't want to miss the information that Brad and Tony share, so grab a smoothie, relax and hit play.
