The PMM Story
PMM (Property Management Master) is software like
none other. It is software that has been developed by property managers
for property managers. It is the only software designed and programmed
especially for the property manager, no matter how small or how large
your business is. An Austrian citizen who loved the Florida sunshine, a
Microsoft engineer and a real estate agent specializing in property
management simply wanted to buy software to run a property management
business but they only found old DOS based accounting programs,
difficult to use or understand with no possibility of what properties
were actually available, no relation between the tenant, the work order
and the owner. It became apparent that there was no single program out
there that had been developed for the property manager, only old
accounting programs trying to look new but just not quite making it.
And so, the beginning of PMM (Property Management
Master). As with any need and desire, the 3 met, discussed, had a
meeting of the minds, met again, added their wants and the birth process
began. It was essential to start with Availability. After all, what is
a property management company without available properties? And those
properties needed to be available immediately to the agent answering the
phone from the caller who needed a place to live. Not only did the
agent need Availability, the agent needed to know all the details of
each property, bedrooms, baths, square footage, price, location so the
property could be matched to the prospective tenant during that first
meeting.
There needed to be a database so strong and
inter-relational that it would support all the tenants, all the owners,
all the properties and all the work-orders. It needed to be able to
provide the owners with monthly and yearly statements that were easy to
read and it needed to provide those owners with their 1099’s at the end
of year in a timely manner.
This database needed to provide the property
manager with the ability to track furnished and unfurnished properties
as well as short term and long term rentals. This meant that taxes,
often assessed on short term rentals, had to be calculated
automatically. It also meant that there could be no chance to double
book and it needed to be able to inform the owner instantly who would
and when would his property be leased.
The maintenance report needed to not only provide
the owner with a clear itemization of each repair but also provide the
vendor with a work order and the property manager with a clear picture
of each and every issue that ever affected the property.
After all of these works were performed, the
property manager needed to be able to convey all of this information to
the owner by providing him/her with an owner’s statement, easily
understood and with a check attached, and all in a timely fashion.
And so, PMM, Property Management Master, was born.
It was tested, re-tested and finally put to the test of running a real
property management office. To say it was a success, is an
understatement. Word spread to other property managers, first in and
around the west coast of Florida and then throughout Florida. The many
users of PMM, Property Management Master has now provided Florida
property managers with a solid base with which to run their company with
all the features needed and doing it in a timely manner.
