A Bit of Backstory
Winfield Property Management was established in 2005, managing around 200 units. Over the years they have grown their portfolio and now manage 2,000 units while continuing to expand their portfolio. Amy Bors owns and manages Winfield along with her team of corporate executives. In 2013, Winfield Property Management began using AppFolio Property Manager to run their business and assist with the growth of their portfolio. Today they manage a large, residential portfolio in Oklahoma.
Why AppFolio?
With a growing portfolio, Amy and her team needed to find more efficient ways to market and lease units without increasing staff or work hours. Their efforts were torn in many directions and they were searching for a solution that would allow the team to bring all areas of the business under one roof. AppFolio provided them the comprehensive management tool they needed to efficiently and cohesively manage their portfolio, and provided them with the resources to quickly market their properties and keep vacancies low.
AppFolio's website services, leasing flow, and marketing capabilities has allowed Winfield to amplify their brand's presence and dominate in their market. They have more time to focus on customer service, which is consistently growing their reputation within their community. Aside from their own marketing efforts, Winfield has received an influx of new business attributed to positive word-of-mouth referrals.
The technology that AppFolio provides allows Winfield to save countless hours on daily tasks. With leasing features, bulk texting and email communication, as well as the ability to manage all areas of their business within one platform, Winfield is able to spend less time managing operations and more time investing in their team, providing better service, and growing their portfolio.
