Property Genie was written as a property managment system that creates accurate accounting records, not an accounting system that can track property management. That is why we chose QuickBooks; the most popular accounting system in the world, for our accounting engine. We create your accounting entries for you while you do the real work of property management in Property Genie. Recieve rents, pay bills, calculate fees in Property Genie. We will turn all of those actions into detailed entries in QuickBooks, so you don’t have to do the work twice. The financial information in Property Genie is accurate real time, because it is based on what you are doing in the real world. Learn more about our ledgers HERE
Property Genie makes it easy to pay owners by using ACH electronic owner payments. With the owner's basic banking information, such as account and routing number, owners never have to take a check to the bank. Instead, all allotted monies are directly deposited into each owner's bank accounts, saving property management companies time and money. For more information about ACH Direct Deposit, visit the ACH Electronic Banking Page HERE

Property Genie provides a business model for property management companies. The Property Genie software is uniquely designed to assist property managers with a complete model to streamline existing operations. But more importantly, it helps businesses expand future operations. The goal is to provide a business model that guides property management companies and their employees in their daily activities. How do we accomplish this? As stated before, Property Genie was created by property managers. As such, we looked at the unique world of property management and used the best practices of some of the world's largest management companies to create a streamlined work flow. The software is broken up into four unique categories or positions within the management company.

Upon logging into Property Genie, each user is greeted with a reminder screen specific to them that pulls and lists all upcoming tasks and to-dos.

This built in system allows Property Genie to be the friendly reminder that helps get the job done. For more information about the Built-In Reminder System, visit the Reminder System Page HERE

Property Genie software includes an integrated website that not only helps property management companies market their available properties, but also allows tenants and owners to apply online, access their accounts online, and make payments online.
Tenant Application The integrated website included with Property Genie lists all available properties of the management company. From there, Property Genie gives prospective tenants the opportunity to instantly apply for that property online by filling out the Tenant Application. Once the form is submitted by the prospective tenant, all the tenant’s information is seamlessly transferred into Property Genie listing them as a prospective tenant. This eliminates wasted time entering data. The tenant information can then be sent out straight through the software to perform a background check - we integrate with both Online Rental Exchange and Lexus Nexus Resident Data.
Owner Application The Property Genie powered integrated website helps to not only gain new tenants, but also aids in the acquisition of new owners. In just three steps, property owners can sign their property up with a management company.

Once the payment is processed, Property Genie automatically knows which payments were made and properly records the transactions.

Property Genie makes it simple to conduct property reviews. Each property can be customized in the system to list only the items & features found in that property. This is beneficial so that a property manager doesn’t have to go through an extensive list of items and features to review that are not present within the property. A review sheet can be printed for each specific property with the items to review associated with each property. All data and notes are recorded in the system, as well as any pictures of the property that can be labeled and dated. Property Genie makes the review process easy, organized, and efficient. For more information about Property Reviews visit the Review Page HERE

Property Genie records and tracks all warranties associated with properties or units. Each warranty lists the type of warranty, company, company's phone number, policy number, expiration date, and any notes on the warranty.
The best thing about Property Genie's warranty tracking is that upon creating a work order, if a property has a warranty, it will flag the user creating a work order to notify them of the warranties. By doing this, Property Genie prevents property managers from submitting work orders that can potentially be covered by an existing warranty. For more information about Warranties visit the Warranty Tracking Page HERE

Property Genie has a complete work order creation and management system. Tenants can request work orders for their individual property online. Once received, property managers can verify the work order, create the necessary documents, and email the work order directly to the vendor from the software. If a property has a warranty listed, it will flag the property manager when trying to create a work order if the warranty can be used for that problem. Managers can also print the work orders for traditional paper method tracking. Once a work order is complete, Property Genie manages the entire accounting process for work order functionality. The software can charge the tenant or owner and credit the vendor creating the vendor check to be printed in QuickBooks. For more information about Work Order Tracking visit the Work Order Page HERE
