Significance of Technology in Property Management | Daniel Kwak & Zain Jaffer

My conversation with Daniel Kwak continues with the question of whether it is advantageous to begin a career in real estate as a middle man. Daniel postulates that this depends on the goals and aspirations of the individual.

Next, we talk about the pros and cons of using in-house management in real estate. Our guest suggests that it is advantageous. He also lets in on a trick used by his colleagues to earn more money in property management.

As we converse further, Daniel explores the importance of technology to property management in relation to his personal experience. He narrates events in which property management firms charged too much for minor services. Apparently, this led him to start working on property management software with his brother.

In particular reference to reporting, Daniel explains how technology affects property management. He reveals some features of the software he is working on that enables effective reporting. Also, he relays how software can help repeal repetitive processes in managing the property.

Daniel and I end this part of our conversation by commenting on the grave importance of technology in real estate, especially in the nearest future.
