Accounting Ledgers

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

 

ACH Direct Deposit

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

 

Automated 1099's

Property Genie software automatically generates 1099 tax forms for rental owners and vendors that can be filed electronically to the IRS. For more information about 1099's visit the 1099 Tax Form Generation Page HERE

 

Background & Credit Checks

One required task of third party property managers is the need to run background and credit checks on all potential tenants. In keeping with our NED2 philosophy, users have the ability to run these checks directly from the software. Property Genie is integrated with Online Rental Exchange and LexisNexis.

The more recent integrations with Online Rental Exchange has been an integration that many of our users have found both useful and well as cost effective. For more information about our integrations with Online Rental Exchange visit the Online Rental Exchange Affiliates Page HERE

 

Business Model

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.

Calendar & Reminder System

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. Once the job is checked completed, it disappears from the reminder screen. New tasks or events can also be added from the reminder screen. With so many things to do on a daily basis, it is not uncommon for property managers to forget something on their list. 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 keeps track of lease expiration dates in order to make the lease renewal process simple and easy. Property Genie has a Lease Renewal Screen that lists all the leases that are approaching their assigned end date.  From this screen, property managers can either auto renew the lease, or print a lease renewal letter to be sent to the tenants in order to renew their lease.

NED2 (Never Enter Data Twice) Philosophy

NED2 stands for Never Enter Data Twice. Property Genie believes that data and information should only be entered into the software ONE time. Property Genie is considered the central nervous system of all property management operations. Property Genie takes in all data ONCE, and shoots it out to other software, programs, and outlets. Similarly, any data entered into the integrated website transfers directly into Property Genie. For more information about how Property Genie uses NED2 visit the NED2 Page HERE

 

Online Applications

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. The online application includes the Owner Information Form, Property Information Form, and the Management Agreement Form. Once this online application is submitted by the property owner, all the owner’s information is seamlessly transferred into Property Genie.

Online Payments Integration

Property Genie provides a wide array of online tenant payment options. The online payment gateway is part of the tenant's login section of your Property Genie powered website, WebGenie. We integrate with both Authorize.net and most recent, Revolution Payment Gateway. By enabling the Authorized.net or Revolution Payment Gateway online payment portion of Property Genie, tenants can pay rent, or any other fee, online. This simplifies the receipt of rent and provides additional revenue to management companies in the form of a user configurable convenience fee amount. Once the payment is processed, Property Genie automatically knows which payments were made and properly records the transactions. For more information about Online Payment Integrations visit the Authorize.net Affiliates Page HERE or the Revolutions Payment Gateway Affiliates Page HERE

 

Property Reviews (Inspections)

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

Warranty Tracking

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

 

Website

One of Property Genie's most unique features is our integrated marketing and information website. As with all of the features that are included as part of the Property Genie software, the integrated website is a feature provided at no additional fee.

Work Order Tracking

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.
