The trio behind MBS Property Management is trying to offer an easier way for landlords and tenants to coexist through the Internet.
The 1-year-old start-up lets tenants make just about every request and payment through the Internet, allowing them to see statements, make maintenance requests and monitor those requests. At the same time, the service allows landlords to view their rent rolls in real time.
"It makes everything seamless," says Scott Shepard, co-owner of
MBS Property Management.
The Midtown-based firm owns a couple of apartment buildings in Midtown and Woodbridge. It decided to expand its internal services to other landlords in the area with the hope of capitalizing on Midtown's growing rental market. It is planning on bringing on a couple of independent contractors to help manage and renovate its multi-unit properties.
"We've just been here so long that we thought we should manage other people's properties," Shepard says.
