The sudden installments of social distancing and remote work put in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 left many leasing professionals questioning how they’ll continue to do their jobs. However, multifamily professionals responded quickly. Leasing teams increased resident communication, and pivoted to virtual leasing and remote management almost instantly. And well, it was the right move.

The adoption of virtual leasing and the explosion of technology, in general, was hard to ignore in 2020. So much so, we are revealing Realync’s 2020 statistics to show just how much virtual leasing grew and isn’t slowing down.

Virtual Leasing Tools

Virtual leasing wasn’t unheard of prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Virtual leasing tools have been around for many years. However, apartment communities in the industry that had not previously implemented virtual leasing software were forced to do so in the wake of the pandemic. And guess what? They love it! Virtual leasing tools allow leasing teams to market their properties more effectively, close leases faster, engage with residents and streamline their operations. All with one platform.
