Tips to Increase Productivity as a Property Manager in 2025

As we move into the New Year, we at Lockourier believe it’s important to focus on increasing productivity to better serve our clients. When we are more productive, we can accomplish more in less time, which is one of the top priorities of property managers across Canada. They must focus on multiple KPIs, such as tenant satisfaction, maintenance requests, lease times, and operating income rate.

So, if you’re a property manager looking for solutions for multi-residential properties, including apartments and condos, here are three productivity tips to start 2025 off on the right foot:

1. Time Blocking

This technique helps you make the most of your time by scheduling specific time slots for tasks. For example, you might set aside 15-20 minutes from 11:00 a.m. to 11:20 a.m. to respond to emails. Being specific lets you stay focused, get more done, and save time.

2. S.M.A.R.T. Goals

Setting S.M.A.R.T. goals can really increase productivity and improve the quality of a property manager’s services. These goals are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-Bound. When goals meet these criteria, there is a clear roadmap to follow, making goals more attainable and saving time.

3. Automate with technology

  • Add AI to your monotonous tasks:

While it may sound like something from the distant future, AI is already here to help you with the simplest tasks, freeing you up to focus on higher-level activities. Calendar management, automated messaging, and data curation are time-consuming and repetitive tasks that AI can help property managers with.

  • Consider an automated payment tool:

Another time-saver is offering auto-pay to residents. Allowing them to pay their rent automatically saves time collecting and depositing checks, making the rent collection process less stressful for everyone involved.

  • Offer contactless package pickup and delivery:

An automated package system is one of the better options for increasing revenue, saving time, and supporting community sustainability efforts.

Whether it’s package lockers or a dedicated package room like the ones offered by Lockourier, these package management solutions allow residents to pick up their packages 24/7, freeing them from the time-consuming task of accepting, storing, or signing for packages. Residents are adopting these high-tech amenities in record time, making the transition from traditional delivery systems to cutting-edge smart locker systems a smooth process.

Incorporating these automation solutions will reduce your workload and free up valuable mental energy. With the right combination of time management, goal setting, and automation, you’ll be well on your way to achieving your productivity goals for the New Year!

Applying these tips will allow you to start the new year with a fresh, efficient approach to managing your properties. Here’s to a productive and prosperous 2025!
