2025 – We’ve Heard Your Feedback & Listened
2025 Proved to be one of the most transformational times for us inside of OFPM. We hired a few new team members, made critical technology improvements, automations and integrations that has raised the quality of our services.
This resulted in us achieving more than 80+ positive google reviews this year!
We are also very open to feedback and ways we can improve. We continue to take comments and ideas from our clients and roadmap them into our future improvements.
Here’s a few things we’ve done this year that results in real, noticeable outcomes for you, our team and the resident experience.
- We launched a resident benefit package for residents where they can easily obtain renters insurance, credit reporting, perks for paying rent on time that they can redeem real gifts with, plus a host of other features. Convenience is key!
- Seamless utility setups and connections for new resident move-ins, utilizing one platform versus having to call 3 or more providers to setup electric, gas, water,
Wi-Fi, etc. - Enhanced maintenance intake platform that’s integrated into our current software to troubleshoot better (fixing issues before it becomes a bill for owners) and allowing residents to assist, before formally creating a work order. This makes the resident experience better with faster maintenance plus reducing the costs for maintenance without having to send vendors, where we can fix small items quicker.
- More staffing, lead follow up and technology to increase the speed to book showings for our vacant rentals. This allows for potential residents to book appointments with us at any time of the day, with faster speed to look at properties and showings. We also can easily process applications in 24 hours or less with faster approvals, better screening processes and this results in faster approvals landing new tenants faster, compared to our competition.
- Our occupancy and renewal rates continue to increase as we’re advising our clients of the current, challenging rental market. Not being in tune with the changing rental prices can cause unneeded turnover or long vacancies if we push for too much of a rental increase or price a new property incorrectly. We’ve increased the feedback loop of activity on our rentals to make quicker adjustments. As a simple example one client had a property vacant for 71 days and when they came to us, we filled in in 3 weeks (during the slow season). It’s all about fast action and feedback for owners to make better, quicker decisions.
- Expanded our vendor network to allow for better pricing and the right team fitting to the right type of work. For example, we have teams of single maintenance techs, small renovation teams or large crews. Depending on the needs of the client, and the right choice of vendor, the owner experiences a better finished product, faster maintenance timelines and the best price possible.
- As we are heavily focused on the resident experience, especially within their first 30 days of tenancy as it sets the tone for the rest of their lease we’ve created additional steps, information and speed of any maintenance related items reported right after move-in. We’ve also adopted technology for residents to document their properties throughout their stay, giving them more comfort and confidence when it comes time to vacating and assessing their security deposit. It also ensures they keep things in better condition throughout their stay by increasing the level of accountability for them.
- There’s many other small 1% improvements we made and continue to make as we understand with a softening rental price market, tough labor market and increasing taxes and insurance that having profitable rental properties in 2026 may be more challenging than prior years but we’re committed to doing our part.
We’re thankful to all of our clients and referral partners for a great 2025 and are very excited and optimistic about our combined growth for 2026!
