Real estate asset management is a highly complicated venture. From dealing with complex financial analyses and tracking evolving markets to managing risk and ensuring compliance, asset management teams must expertly navigate a complex and diverse set of tasks. The stakes are high – making mistakes or moving too slowly can result in mistakes and missed opportunities that compromise the value of a real estate portfolio.

The right real estate asset management software can help by automating important tasks, streamlining essential workflows, and enabling managers to focus on high-value initiatives rather than tedious routines. Customization is the key to finding the right portfolio management solution. A superior platform will enable users to adapt nearly every aspect of the software for the needs of their portfolio and the team’s unique working style.

As a Dynamic Workplace Management platform, Quickbase offers fully customizable templates and pre-built solutions for real estate asset management. With Quickbase’s no-code application development solutions, team members with any level of coding experience – or no experience at all – can easily create, connect, and customize real estate asset management software to solve visibility issues and fix workflow gaps.

The challenge of managing real estate assets

Superior software solutions can help real estate asset management teams meet several critical challenges.

  • Consolidating property and investment information. Real estate assets typically come with huge volumes of paperwork, data, and analytics. To increase productivity, management teams must find a way to easily consolidate data and connect systems to gain a comprehensive view of the business and its portfolio of assets.

  • Streamlining management tasks. The many and varied tasks involved in real estate asset management can quickly overwhelm teams that lack proper processes and automated workflows.

  • Accessing real-time, comprehensive financial data. To increase portfolio value, managers need real-time insight into expenses, revenues, financial forecasts, market conditions, and other financial details. Data that is incomplete or out of date will inevitably compromise the ability of managers to make smart decisions.

  • Managing contract details. From leases and property agreements to maintenance and service contracts, real estate assets involve many complex contracts. With so much capital at stake, it’s critical that real estate asset managers create, execute, monitor, and track contracts with great precision and timeliness.

  • Communicating with stakeholders. From investors and sellers to contractors and property management teams, real estate asset managers must communicate with a large number of stakeholders, ensuring that everyone is on the same page and has access to the information they need.
