Actually, no, you don't. Anyone who lives in or owns a building can start a new platform on HomeBeat.Live. It does not offset the existing communication methods that are established in your building. HomeBeat.Live just makes them easier and faster. The more people are in the system the better it works. Typically, only 30% of all people in your building sign up in the beginning. The number grows as people discover the benefits.
What if the property manager doesn't want to join straight away? That's not a problem either, he'll still get notified on every incident and your fellow residents will still appreciate to be informed simultaneously. Property managers can sometimes be a bit reluctant to change and innovation. But they also have a lot to gain from better communication. We are available to help with any questions you may have.
Ultimately, it’s you, the owners and residents that decide how you want to run your building. If that includes a powerful and contemporary communication platform, then the property manager will follow suit sooner or later.
Do I need to ask the owners council? No, you don’t. We do however encourage you to involve them in the process. The platform can really help to increase transparency on what’s going on in the building to plan ahead more efficiently and increase the service level. Just get started and find out if it works for your building.
