Why Property Managers Will Want This App

ANAHEIM, CA—Mobility in real estate is becoming increasingly more necessary and prevalent, as GlobeSt.com recently reported. Enter Common Areas, a new mobile app that allows property managers to note, manage and track clearly and simply property-management situations that need attention.

Developed by Casey Rue, COO at Marketplace Properties, a small boutique developer of shopping centers for the last 45 years, and CEO of the firm Common Areas, the app takes the place of clipboards, paperwork and endless emails and follow-up time by allowing property managers to see problems through to solutions all in one place. Rue, who has real estate experience in acquisitions and property management, tells GlobeSt.com, “I’ve always thought it’s been brain damage trying to get work done when managing properties. You use a clipboard, an iPhone and text, but there could be 50 different things going on with any given property at any given time. Communicating via email, voicemail, fax and letters; finding the issues by walking the property, then going back to the office to disseminate the information takes forever.”
