The Challenge

What Was Holding Them Back

Losing property owner clients to larger firms while struggling with extended vacancy periods despite Victoria's competitive rental market.

Average vacancy period was 28 days per unit turnover, costing property owners roughly $1,400-$2,800 in lost rent per vacancy in the Victoria market.

Property owners searching for management companies found larger firms first on Google and AI, leading to a steady loss of managed units over two years.

Tenant inquiries came primarily through Craigslist and Kijiji, attracting low-quality applicants and missing the growing segment using AI to find rentals.

The company had no automated systems for after-hours inquiries, losing potential tenants to competitors who responded faster during evenings and weekends.
