A Stronger Online Community
Means Better Business.
Your online presence should be a key component of your relationship with your
residents, not only drawing them in, but bringing them together and encouraging
them to stay.
That’s exactly how the ActiveBuilding® community portal works. It’s designed
to be the center of all of your property’s activity. If residents have a package at
the office or need a running toilet fixed, a visit to the portal provides a place for
service requests and status updates. A community wall enables residents to find
a work-out buddy, post pictures and updates, or even sell their used furniture, all
within the safety of their private community portal. Onsite employees can also
join the discussion to act as subject matter experts, answering questions and
relieving concerns. If more challenging community issues come up, the staff can
handle property-based concerns on the private community’s wall, before they
go public.
For community-based messaging, the property staff can send messages to the
entire community by mass email, text or voice notification within seconds. They
can communicate information quickly across any subset of residents, such as pet
owners, a certain building's residents or all residents on a specific floor.
If you’re looking for the right mix of features for your resident portal, connect
with ActiveBuilding. It’s the perfect balance of resident-retaining features and
business-building benefits, creating a community experience that is second
to none.
ActiveBuilding's messaging
allows staff to communicate with
residents through their preferred
method of contact: text, email
or phone.

When It’s Time to Renew,
Help Them Decide.
When a resident’s lease is up, RealPage Online Renewal makes renewing the lease effortless – for both
staff and residents. Completely automated, this tool offers an entirely digital path for residents to renew. Not
only is the experience clean, familiar and mobile-friendly, but it’s also integrated with our price optimization
system to maximize your revenue and provide the most competitive renewal rates and terms for
your residents. This added convenience to residents results in fewer negotiations around rent increases.
The offer is delivered on time, electronically, and can be enhanced to include incentives like time-sensitive
rental rate offers, gift cards or unit upgrades. It can also drive additional revenue by upselling services or
amenities and connecting these upgrades with their renewal rates. When the resident does sign, the entire
process − including the signature − is completely digital. On average, residents renew their leases within
three days of receiving their email offers. With RealPage Online Renewals, lease renewal is faster and
business is better.

Do the Right Thing.
Cover Your Assets.
When you hear about the $1.3 billion in multifamily property loss that occurs
each year just due to fires1
, it’s easy to understand how your property could
be vulnerable to damage. That’s why RealPage offers comprehensive renters
insurance policies for your residents and community gap insurance for your
property. We secure both with broad coverage and make sure everyone
is protected.
For renters, RealPage offers an insurance program that provides inexpensive
coverage with wide-ranging benefits. Sold exclusively to renters, these policies
deliver comprehensive coverage options that protect your residents and your
property from loss due to resident-caused damage. And to allow for easier
approval, there’s no credit check and multiple roommates are accepted on a
single policy.
Sometimes, though, your residents fail to obtain the required coverage. That’s
where RenterProtection has you covered. RenterProtection is an optional
overlay to your existing renters insurance program that’s designed to close the
gap on units where a resident fails to comply with the terms of the lease. This
supplemental policy provides property coverage when a unit is vacant or when a
renter doesn’t have an active insurance policy. Additionally, seamless integration
with OneSite® Leasing & Rents streamlines the process and ensures continuity in
coverage. Both ways, your assets are covered and your community is secure.

Work Less. Save More.
Managing your cash flow is key to keeping your stress low and your property financially healthy.
Sometimes, though, the cost of managing those resources actually kills your ROI – unless
you outsource.
Daily utility management is one of those cash management tasks. It just isn’t worth the cost of doing
yourself. Fortunately, RealPage daily vacant cost recovery fills in the gap. It carefully monitors your
utilities, unit by unit and day by day, while discovering new ways to give you back your time and money
on utilities. In fact, you’ll save an average of $38 per unit, per year2
— on faulty equipment, utility theft,
overuse, empty units and associated repair costs.
RealPage resident billing removes the burden of billing your residents for rent, utilities and other fees
each month. Our powerful utility and billing system creates a single, detailed, monthly resident bill,
quickly and accurately, and delivers that bill to the resident. By combining and itemizing rent, utilities
and other charges into one bill, you can increase collections up to 3% per property unit3
. As an added
bonus, you can include messages to one or all residents right on the bill. It’s a powerful package that
simplifies your work and removes the guesswork.

Make It Easy to Pay.
If you want to accept credit and debit cards online – and you should, because

ResidentDirect charges your resident a service fee to pay rent, and the entire
rent goes directly into your ledger. No more transaction fee issues or accounting
headaches for you.

pay, including credit and debit card, check, money order, ACH payment and
eMoney Order. Residents can pay anywhere, on any device, with any form of
payment they like – 24/7. They can even set up recurring payments so rent is
automatically deducted from a bank account every month.
No matter what method your residents choose or how they want to pay,
RealPage offers the easiest ways.
Offer your residents multiple
ways to pay, including credit
