Steve Small to Speak at 2010 NMHC Apartment Operations and Technology Conference & Exposition

 

CHICAGO — November 9, 2010 RentSentinel and Yield Technologies today announced CEO Steve Small as a speaker at the 2010 NMHC Apartment Operations and Technology Conference & Exposition in Dallas, Texas. Small will once again share his expertise with other executives at NMHC at the 9:30am session on Achieving a “Paperless Office”: What Does It Mean? Where Is It Going? on November 15th, 2010.

Small is known for his ground breaking expertise in the multi-family industry and plans to share his insight on a variety of issues during the session, including business-to-business and business-to-consumer transactions via electronic means, signature and document management, and planning and execution from policy and practical perspectives. Attendees will hear first-hand about “best practices for development and implementation of a robust document management capacity and the goal to achieve a paperless office” from Small and two other executives on the panel (Michael Manelis, Senior VP of Property Operations for Equity Residential, and Kip Zacharias, VP of Business Services for Camden Property Trust).

“We have witnessed how technology can revolutionize the apartment industry,” stated Steve Small. “It is important to acknowledge and use the tools which transform our place of business into an efficient work environment in terms of productivity and cost-effectiveness.”

Small is a frequent speaker at NMHC and created quite a buzz at last November’s conference when he spoke upon the affluence of Craigslist and the average cost of each lead when posting ads on Craigslist through RentSentinel. The challenges and unknowns of Craigslist were hot topics throughout the 2009 NMHC Conference and Small addressed these with RentSentinel’s Property Marketer, a web-based application known to effectively collect real time data on the traffic and behavior of an ad on Craigslist.

This year’s theme on how to achieve a “paperless office” can be found through RentSentinel’s Online Leasing. RentSentinel’s enterprise suite is a listing to lease one-stop shop which begins with creating and tracking online listings all the way to a prospect electronically signing the lease. RentSentinel Leasing utilizes electronic signatures and other third party sources for background and credit checks and payment processing in order to transform leasing into a paperless, cost-efficient, and smart process. Paper applications, paper leases, and paper guest cards can all be eliminated through this technology.
