The Benefits of Online Leasing and Digital Signatures

ExactEstate News

Property management software streamlines the lease process and makes it easier than ever to do things online. With digital leasing and online signatures, the computer does all the heavy lifting, allowing you to focus on what matters most: running your property and interacting with residents.

Regardless of how big or small your rental business is, you deserve the security and convenience that online leasing offers.

Below, we’ve provided the benefits of integrating lease digitalization into your apartment community using ExactEstate.

Save Time & Cost

Traditional lease signing is a lengthy practice. It’s a cumbersome process that can take days to complete, and there's a good chance you'll misplace the lease document or damage it in some way during transit.

With our online lease management software, you can create and send your contracts directly to your tenants, who can sign them digitally. You’ll get a notification once completed, and you can download the document and archive it instantly — no matter where you are. The whole process eliminates the time and cost associated with paper leases.

Fill Vacancies Faster

Why not have your tenants sign their leasing agreements online? If potential tenants think of you as outdated, they'll be more likely to go with a competitor trying to remain technologically current. They’re looking for hassle-free and convenient options to sign their lease.

Apartment online leasing will allow you to get leases signed faster, which enables you to get tenants occupied in available units faster. This simplifies and expedites the lease process while providing you with everything you need directly on your dashboard. Besides, online leasing frees up more of your time to focus on what matters most — filling vacancies and focusing on resident retention.

Avoiding Pen-and-Paper Errors

Correcting errors doesn’t have to be a chore when you go the digital leasing route. With online leasing, the e-signature platform’s built-in intelligence ensures that all required fields are filled in before any documents can be submitted. That way, you can avoid common typing or signature mistakes. Plus, you get an electronic record of your lease agreement that you can access at any time from any computer. It’s a simple way to keep your documents safe and organized.

Safety, Security, & Peace of Mind

Our cloud-based platform allows you to securely store your leases and templates, perform actions like emailing signers, previewing a digital lease in progress, highlighting important sections, and creating custom fields to tailor them to your business needs.

ExactEstate’s easy-to-use interface, for example, allows you to send draft leases, reminders, notices of contingencies in progress, and more directly to your tenants. Also, our real-time audit trail ensures that changes made by either party remain transparent throughout the process, and all of the information is encrypted to help protect the privacy of all signing parties.

Tenant Retention

How can online leasing improve tenant retention? Landlords can now take advantage of automated renewals for existing tenants, streamlining the entire process and ensuring more timely leases.

When creating a renewal lease, you must only make simple changes, such as term dates, fees, and other qualifying information. Everything is automated, and tenants can renew from their homes using their preferred devices. Online apartment leasing and the ability to capture digital signatures streamline the entire renewal process.

Easily Accessible Documents

An online platform like ExactEstate to manage your rental property empowers you to automate the process. You can customize your template in the system, store it in cloud storage, send it to tenants for digital signing, and archive it automatically once it is complete. Landlords and tenants can easily access their lease contracts by maintaining a single document in a central location. Overall, digital leasing delivers a convenient, cost-effective way to keep legal documents organized and easily accessible.

Shift to Digital Leasing

Overall, online leasing has its perks. It saves you time from going through endless paper and keys, allowing you to organize your tenants more simply. All you need is our easy-to-use property management software, and you’ll be on your way to saving time and money and building profitable relationships with your tenants.

Now that you have an idea of what online leasing entails, it should be clear why you should switch to digital leasing with ExactEstate. You and your tenants will be glad you did.
