 <title>New faces for On-Site in Texas and Rocky Mountains</title>
 <link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheBuzz_On-Site/~3/yfQoiZ3nYI8/new_faces_site_texas_and_rocky_mountains</link>
 <description>&lt;h3&gt;With 3.5 million e-signatures captured and counting, On-Site expands sales team to address increasing demand for online apartment leasing technology&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;img src="/images/forms/ramirezCaption.jpg" width="150" /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mountain View, Calif.&lt;/b&gt; - On-Site.com, the top provider of online leasing automation for the apartment business, announced the selection of two key teammates joining the company’s expanding sales team. Both have a deep history in service to multifamily operators and focus on maximizing the success that clients achieve with On-Site’s solutions.

&lt;p&gt;In Dallas, On-Site welcomes &lt;b&gt;Leslie Ramirez&lt;/b&gt; as regional sales manager for the Texas market, as well as Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana. Leslie joins the  company after a six year stint at RealPage, a property management software provider, where she sold a varied product set to clients across the country. She was recognized for setting performance records in several capacities, ranging from technical product support to new business development. Leslie began her real estate career at Post Properties, an Atlanta-based REIT, and is a proven resource for property executives due to her specialized knowledge of the apartment business.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Tosha Lane&lt;/b&gt;, a 23-year veteran of the multifamily industry, joins On-Site from CoreLogic SafeRent, a resident screening provider. Based outside of Denver, Tosha’s sales region extends across Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri and Utah. Clients benefit from Tosha’s expertise in the background check business, particularly in the Rocky Mountain states, where reliable sources of data like criminal records are often decentralized and difficult to obtain. Her experience in the screening business spans over a decade, beginning at California-based U.D. Registry prior to its acquisition by CoreLogic (then known as Registry SafeRent). Tosha began her multifamily career selling advertising, rising to become publisher of the Apartment Guide in Colorado Springs.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="/images/forms/toshaCaption.jpg" width="150" /&gt;“This is an exciting time of evolution for our industry, and On-Site is the clear technology and service leader,” said &lt;b&gt;Monte Jones&lt;/b&gt;, National Sales Manager. “I’m excited to welcome Tosha and Leslie to our team. They both bring extraordinary dedication to client success.”

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On-Site delivers best-in-class online marketing and leasing tools for the apartment business. Its technology allows apartment managers to attract, qualify and rent to the right residents with its 100% paperless “listing to lease” platform. On-Site’s clients have captured over 3.5 million electronic signatures. The company has been voted Best Resident Screening Service three years in a row and was a finalist in the First Annual Green Initiatives Awards from Multi-Housing News. 

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;About On-Site&lt;/h3&gt;
Founded in 1999, On-Site has grown to become the gold standard in the apartment business, offering best-in-class marketing, leasing and mobile tools in a solution that can be implemented today. On-Site's award-winning lead generation, resident qualification, document storage, e-signature and cloud computing services allow apartment operators to maximize occupancy, enhance quality control, maintain compliance and ensure consistent success at all levels of property operations.&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheBuzz_On-Site/~4/yfQoiZ3nYI8" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

 <title>Bankers losing ground in surging market for Manhattan rental apartments</title>
 <link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheBuzz_On-Site/~3/_0Gn9umtSQk/bankers_losing_ground_surging_market_manhattan_rental_apartments</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Our statistics from the Manhattan rental market suggest several intriguing trends:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;In 2005, Wall Street jobs outnumbered technology jobs 8 to 1. Today it's &lt;b&gt;4 to 1&lt;/b&gt;.
&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The last 18 months shows a boost in &amp;quot;Creative&amp;quot; jobs - &lt;b&gt;hiring in segments like media and fashion&lt;/b&gt; is now 70% higher than its five-year average.
&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Today's income/rent ratio suggests that the market &lt;b&gt;still has capacity to absorb&lt;/b&gt; further rent increases.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;



&lt;p&gt;This five-year analysis contributed to the &lt;a href="http://nancypackesinc.com/pages/research/Nancy_Packes_2011_Midyear_Rental_Report_Cover_Letter.pdf"&gt;2011 Mid Year Rental Report&lt;/a&gt;, which was covered in today's &lt;a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303795304576454502356054930.html"&gt;Wall Street Journal&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;img src="https://www.on-site.com/images/online/packes2.jpg" align="right" width="450" /&gt; According to the write-up, developers have taken note by &lt;b&gt;marketing exclusively on the Internet&lt;/b&gt; and building &lt;b&gt;amenity space&lt;/b&gt; that appeals to young media and tech workers.

 <title>Undisputed leader in apartment leasing technology introduces “touch to sign” mobile signature capture  </title>
 <link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheBuzz_On-Site/~3/bmQ5Dhoqw_o/undisputed_leader_apartment_leasing_technology_introduces_touch_sign_mo</link>
 <description>&lt;h3&gt;With 3.3 million signatures already collected online, On-Site makes it even easier for renters to sign lease paperwork from any computer or mobile device&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mountain View, Calif. &lt;/b&gt; – On-Site.com, the top provider of online leasing automation for the apartment business, today announced several upgrades to its electronic signature technology.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Since creating E-Sign in 2008, it has become On-Site’s most popular feature with renters and apartment owners alike. On-Site delivers a fully integrated and &lt;b&gt;100% paperless “listing to lease” platform&lt;/b&gt; for the property management industry that incorporates marketing and online leasing tools.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Based in Silicon Valley, the company replaces the paper-centric, disconnected process that typifies the traditional process for searching and securing apartments. On-Site’s clients represent over two million apartments in all 50 states, ranging from independent landlords with a single unit to the country’s largest privately-owned property management company.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
The convenient method of signing lease documents electronically automatically archives the files securely while driving down printing and storage costs. On-Site estimates that a typical apartment community will achieve a $312 increase per month in net operating income by adopting E-Sign.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
“Today's renter has outpaced the technical ability of most apartment industry software systems and processes by several laps,” said Jake Harrington, co-founder and Chief Revenue Officer at On-Site. “A majority of today's renters are not only comfortable doing business online – it's their preference. Why push them toward antiquated, paper-centric, offline transactions?”
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
On-Site was the first software provider to the multifamily industry to offer e-signatures and has captured more E-Sign leases than all other providers combined – over 3.3 million to date. The federal E-SIGN Act of 2001 permits electronic contract execution, a version of which has been adopted in all 50 states. On-Site's customers enjoy the ability to allow qualified residents to sign – and invite existing residents to renew – leases online, accelerating the time to close or extend contracts.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
The latest generation of On-Site's E-Sign includes several innovations:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Renters may “touch to sign”&lt;/b&gt; using any mobile device or computer, imprinting their unique signature
&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Online signing ceremony is ready for use 240% faster without sacrificing security
&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Technology is built into online leasing process that includes “live” unit availability, revenue management pricing and payment processing&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.on-site.com/images/forms/ipad_sign.jpg" width="400" /&gt;
Studies conclude that 4 in 5 apartment renters search online. In fact, properties seeking the most qualified batch of prospective residents must make it easy to business with them after business hours. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
A look at On-Site's statistics shows that prospective residents who choose to apply over the Internet are indeed more financially qualified than their offline peers. Over the past three months, On-Site data shows that &lt;b&gt;online applicants score higher and are approved at double the rate &lt;/b&gt;of applicants who choose to submit a paper application.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
These online applicants don’t just work in the tech sector. During that same three month period, only 7% of applicants who applied via the Internet reported working in the computer industry. The statistics show a relatively even distribution across such diverse fields as law, medicine, and finance.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
On-Site’s customers further demonstrate that online leasing is not limited to conventional and student housing, but has transformed operations at affordable, military and mixed-use properties.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Aaron Stright, Operations Manager for Washington-based HNN Associates, LLC, solely manages affordable housing. He says his apartment management company requests that all prospective residents complete their application online. Each application is accessible through On-Site's platform to access credit and background checks with no further data entry. Once a prospective resident has been screened and cleared, a leasing agent invites an applicant to sign his lease electronically.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
“On-Site's technology has not only saved us time and paper, it’s also been very helpful in our interactions with residents,” Stright says. “A resident is required to electronically initial each page of our lease before the technology allows them to sign the final page. If a resident later says they never read one of the pages and were unaware of a certain policy, we have proof otherwise.”
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Stright estimates that 97 percent of HNN’s residents take advantage of On-Site's e-signature technology. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Document management is a component of On-Site’s &lt;b&gt;best-in-class online marketing and leasing tools&lt;/b&gt; for property managers. The company has been voted Best Resident Screening Service three years in a row and its paperless office platform was a finalist in the First Annual Green Initiatives Awards from &lt;i&gt;Multi-Housing News&lt;/i&gt;.

 <title>Artificial intelligence unveiled as On-Site’s secret weapon to catch criminals</title>
 <link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheBuzz_On-Site/~3/AuvRj6hplOs/artificial_intelligence_unveiled_site_s_secret_weapon_catch_criminals</link>
 <description>&lt;h3&gt;Apartment industry technologists combine next-generation automation with human analysis in this fight against crime&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mountain View, Calif.&lt;/b&gt; -- On-Site.com, the top provider of online leasing automation for the apartment business, announced that it is now delivering exceptionally faster results with the help of &lt;b&gt;artificial intelligence&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;p&gt;Apartment management companies rely on On-Site to qualify and screen prospective renters, a process that often involves a criminal background check. Property managers use criminal records in their screening process because individuals with a criminal past are more likely to commit crimes than those without, posing a risk of harm to their neighbors.&lt;img src="http://www.idfpr.com/DPR/images/fingerprint.gif" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Today, over two-thirds of our customers run criminal and sex offender searches – a rate that has doubled over the last five years as the availability of reliable data has grown,&amp;quot; says Jake Harrington, On-Site’s Chief Revenue Officer. &amp;quot;Still, these &lt;b&gt;sources of reliable data are a long ways from being nationwide&lt;/b&gt;. We look to technology to boost accuracy and turnaround time without sacrificing quality control.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There is no such thing as a comprehensive national criminal check: many jurisdictions remain isolated from centralized repositories. So-called &amp;quot;national&amp;quot; databases still contain large coverage gaps and are updated inconsistently, requiring expertise in local apartment markets to fill in the blanks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Criminal records are notoriously difficult to access&lt;/b&gt; because they are stored in a hodgepodge of databases in thousands of courthouses across the country. Moreover, the criminal files themselves –- which are sometimes incomplete and are never formatted consistently –- require careful analysis by trained researchers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;This analysis obviously takes some time,&amp;quot; adds Harrington. &amp;quot;Other screening products force you to choose between waiting for an answer, skipping that step because it takes too long, or worse, deciding between the two options on case by case basis, which violates Fair Housing law.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On-Site recently deployed a new weapon in this particular fight against crime. By utilizing intelligent computer &amp;quot;agents&amp;quot; to aggregate, normalize and integrate online data into its platform, the company has &lt;b&gt;boosted turnaround time by as much as 400 percent&lt;/b&gt; in some regions without any degradation of quality. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Having seen the success of automated data extraction tools from government databases in other industries, On-Site looked to automated agents as the key to unlocking criminal records.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Based in Silicon Valley, On-Site has wrangled with the byzantine criminal court system since its founding more than a decade ago. California is among the nation’s worst examples of a modern, centralized custodian of public records. Despite being the most populous state, its 58 counties do not talk to one another to contribute their hundreds of millions of records to a single database. And California is not alone -– &lt;b&gt;many of the nation’s major metropolitan areas lack a unified infrastructure&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Historically in these disconnected regions, a court runner needed to travel to a physical courthouse to search at a computer terminal or wait in line while a court clerk browsed through physical file cabinets. In extreme cases, courthouses are only open for business limited hours and days, especially with budgetary reductions. &amp;quot;Live&amp;quot; searches can take a week or more to complete. And even with some courthouses coming online, searching still required human interaction.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Today, On-Site’s computers crawl &amp;quot;live&amp;quot; records online in much of the country. This technique eliminates human error and elevates the work of On-Site's criminal research team from data entry to analysis and classification. On-Site allows property managers to specify crimes, such as speeding tickets and petty misdemeanors, that should be disregarded under their rental guidelines.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On-Site's automated agents are currently in place at dozens of counties in California, Texas, Florida, Pennsylvania and Tennessee -– all locations that would otherwise require a runner to visit the courthouse in person during business hours.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Robust criminal screening is a component of On-Site's &lt;b&gt;best-in-class online marketing and leasing tools&lt;/b&gt; for property managers. The company has been voted Best Resident Screening Service three years in a row and its paperless office platform was a finalist in the First Annual Green Initiatives Awards from &lt;i&gt;Multi-Housing News&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;About On-Site&lt;/h3&gt;Founded in 1999, On-Site has grown to become the gold standard in the apartment business. On-Site has a proven record of delivering best-in-class technology in a solution that can be implemented today. On-Site's marketing, leasing and mobile tools deliver lead generation, resident qualification, document storage, e-signatures and cloud computing services. On-Site allows apartment operators to maximize occupancy, enhance quality control, maintain compliance and ensure consistent success at all levels of property operations.&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheBuzz_On-Site/~4/AuvRj6hplOs" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

 <title>On-Site builds on veteran team to drive customer success</title>
 <link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheBuzz_On-Site/~3/SBjfNKoMJoY/site_builds_veteran_team_drive_customer_success</link>
 <description>&lt;h3&gt;New and familiar faces set to boost business growth and lead account management programs at leading apartment technology firm&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mountain View, Calif.&lt;/b&gt; — On-Site.com, the top provider of online leasing automation for the apartment business, announced three key teammates that will focus on maximizing the success that customers enjoy with On-Site’s solutions.&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="/images/online/monteJones.jpg" /&gt;Taking the reins as National Sales Manager is &lt;b&gt;Monte Jones&lt;/b&gt;, a 15-year veteran in the multihousing industry. Monte most recently ran the sales group at RentPayment.com/Yapstone, a payment processor and integrated partner with On-Site. Between 2001 and 2010, Monte rose to become the Senior Vice President of Sales at First Advantage SafeRent, a resident screening provider, where he created a professional account management team, built one of the industry’s largest field sales and support staffs and oversaw the successful integration of six acquired companies. He joined SafeRent during its start-up days in Colorado.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Monte has recruited and trained both regional leadership and local personnel throughout his career. He will lead On-Site's sales offices in New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Atlanta, Seattle, Denver, Phoenix and Austin. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“I’m thrilled to join a company so focused on building value for its clients,” said Monte. “We are well positioned to grow our core businesses and deliver innovations that anticipate our client's needs.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On-Site delivers best-in-class online marketing and leasing tools for property managers. The company has been voted Best Resident Screening Service three years in a row and was a finalist in the First Annual Green Initiatives Awards from Multi-Housing News.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the San Francisco Bay Area, apartment managers know &lt;b&gt;Regina Busciglio-Weinstein&lt;/b&gt; for her expertise and enthusiasm. She has served as a regional account executive since 2008 in one of the On-Site’s most successful markets. In her new role as Training Director, Regina will bring her product and industry knowledge to a larger audience and ensure that On-Site’s clients nationwide receive high quality service by developing training programs and facilitating strong implementation standards.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“I have loved getting to know and assist many of On-Site’s California clients,” Regina said, “and I’m looking forward to widening that experience to even more satisfied users.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Further, &lt;b&gt;Ruby Lohmann&lt;/b&gt;, who worked with On-Site's clients in the Pacific Northwest from 2006 to 2009, returns to the company as a national account executive. Ruby will use her knowledge of property operations and best practices with On-Site's solutions to aid clients in her home state of Washington as well as across the country.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“We offer a popular, integrated solution and are introducing several new products amidst a very bright outlook in the apartment sector,” said Jake Harrington, On-Site's Chief Revenue Officer. “Ruby, Regina and Monte are three of the most successful and positive people in the business, and I am confident that they will contribute to our customers' success for years to come.” &lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;About On-Site&lt;/h3&gt;Founded in 1999, On-Site has grown to become the gold standard in the apartment business. On-Site has a proven record of delivering best-in-class technology in a solution that can be implemented today.

 <title>On-Site’s website builder suite brings Apartment All Stars online overnight </title>
 <link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheBuzz_On-Site/~3/sAMJliR8SvA/site_s_website_builder_suite_brings_apartment_all_stars_online_overnigh</link>
 <description>&lt;h3&gt;Touring on the road and without a website, the conference producers designed a professional-grade web presence in days, not months&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Mountain View, Calif.&lt;/b&gt; — When On-Site.com signed on to sponsor this year’s 12-city tour of the &lt;b&gt;Apartment All Stars&lt;/b&gt;, they didn’t realize the starring role the company would quickly take.

&lt;p&gt;Now in its ninth year, the industry veterans teach strategies on winning leases, retaining residents and enhancing curb appeal. The conference typically relies upon an outside agency to design a customized marketing site to promote their events.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As the tour started, an unexpected change of plans left the Apartment All Stars – who advise audiences on effective marketing – without a marketing site of their own.

&lt;p&gt;In late March, Kate Good, professional speaker for the All Stars, asked if On-Site could help in a pinch. On-Site is the top provider of online leasing automation for the apartment business. The company offers its &lt;b&gt;Online Marketing Suite™&lt;/b&gt; for multifamily operators to showcase their communities with dynamic websites, content syndication to drive traffic and prospect management tools to make every lead count. 

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Later that week, &lt;a href="http://www.ApartmentAllStars.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;b&gt;ApartmentAllStars.com&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; was up and running using On-Site’s platform. Kate was able to select a template, upload photos and include text and links. Customizing the “look and feel” required no programming or technical experience, while On-Site’s support team helped with technical and creative recommendations. While On-Site’s Online Marketing Suite™ platform is intended to feature apartment communities and property management companies, Kate adapted the intuitive system for her organization’s needs.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“When we needed quick help, &lt;b&gt;we called the experts at On-Site to save the day&lt;/b&gt;,” Kate said. “Not only did they jump right in, they had us live in a matter of days. This is a living example of a fantastic group of professionals who do whatever they can to help a customer.”

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;About On-Site&lt;/h3&gt;
Founded in 1999, On-Site has grown to become the gold standard in the apartment business. On-Site has a proven record of delivering best-in-class technology in a solution that can be implemented today. On-Site's marketing, leasing and mobile tools deliver lead generation, resident qualification, document storage, e-signatures and cloud computing services.

 <title>Colorado renters make the move with Corum’s new eco‐friendly leasing system</title>
 <link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheBuzz_On-Site/~3/Xktl19ZrQPI/colorado_renters_make_move_corum_s_new_eco_friendly_leasing_system</link>
 <description>&lt;h2&gt;FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;On‐Site empowers Corum Real Estate Group’s &amp;quot;green&amp;quot; leasing platform to drive efficiency and offer choice of channel for today's mobile resident&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Denver&lt;/b&gt; -- With so much natural beauty, Colorado offers countless outdoor adventures to its new residents – so the last thing they want to do is be stuck inside a leasing office filling out paperwork.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Recognizing the appeal of an &lt;b&gt;eco-friendly rental application process&lt;/b&gt; that can be conducted from anywhere, including on‐the-go
with a smart phone, Denver‐based apartment operator Corum Real Estate Group turned to On‐Site.com's paperless leasing
platform.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;We wanted to enhance our online application and screening process for prospects,&amp;quot; said Gayle Gahagan, Director of
Operations at Corum, which manages thousands of apartment homes in the Denver area and in Colorado resort towns.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With On‐Site, instead of the disjointed and paper-based leasing process that is common at most apartment communities,
multifamily owners and operators can get an improved &lt;b&gt;all-inclusive online platform that incorporates leads, credit applications and lease documents&lt;/b&gt;. Corum now accepts rental applications 24 hours a day, qualifies new residents using On‐Site's best-in-class screening system, and then calculates, signs and stores move‐in paperwork online.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;We are committed to delivering efficient and easy‐to‐use technologies,&amp;quot; said Gahagan. &amp;quot;On-Site delivers all of these
expectations and then some.&amp;quot; On-Site, based in Silicon Valley, is a recognized pioneer with a patented platform for enhancing
convenience and enforcing quality control for apartment managers and owners.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;The right technology can drastically reduce administrative costs for communities, and reduce the stress of moving for
renters,&amp;quot; said Jake Harrington, Chief Revenue Officer at On-Site. He notes, &amp;quot;Most Colorado residents are not native to the state, many are young, and all would prefer to complete a leasing transaction with the &lt;b&gt;same ease that they can buy plane tickets on Travelocity or books on Amazon&lt;/b&gt;. Our solutions offer this same ease of use, along with an eco‐friendly approach that caters to an increasingly mobile resident. It’s a win‐win.&amp;quot;

 <link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheBuzz_On-Site/~3/x_U4DZZk3Lk/site_takes_prado_group_online_overnight</link>
 <description>&lt;h2&gt;FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;h1&gt;Rapid deployment of online leasing platform streamlines operations at apartment owner's growing portfolio&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;San Francisco&lt;/b&gt; -– Prado Group Properties, a fast-growing real estate investor and operator in Northern California, announced the successful launch of a series of dynamic websites for its growing residential collection.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The company capitalized on the proven software of On-Site.com, the provider of online apartment leasing solutions based in Silicon Valley. The websites, which allow new residents to browse photos and apply online, were developed and deployed affordably, literally in a matter of days. On-Site further presents property managers with &amp;quot;one-stop shopping&amp;quot; to sort leads, credit applications and leases.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Quick turnaround was vital for Prado, who looked to reposition a portfolio of assets it acquired. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;&lt;b&gt;With On-Site, we were able to quickly deploy multiple sites by close of escrow and put in place an infrastructure that we control and manage&lt;/b&gt;,&amp;quot; said Kelly Baker, a property manager at The Prado Group. &amp;quot;The ongoing support from the On-Site account team is priceless.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition to websites, Prado Group uses On-Site’s patented resident screening and document management system, enabling renters to access credit and background checks and e-sign certified lease forms online.  When Prado acquired several new buildings, they were up and running immediately with an online leasing platform. According to Baker, the primary objectives were to scale the business with an &lt;b&gt;efficient marketing infrastructure&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;automate marketing operations&lt;/b&gt; and provide &lt;b&gt;self-service tools for its tech savvy residents&lt;/b&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Using On-Site’s intuitive software, Prado paid particular attention to using images and commentary about the neighborhoods to create a brand personality for each community’s personality. On-Site’s online marketing functionality includes lead generation for new prospects and retention tools such as electronic maintenance requests.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;About On-Site&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.on-site.com/themes/newsite/images/logo_header.png" width="143" /&gt;Founded in 1999, On-Site has grown to become the gold standard in the apartment business, with a proven record of delivering next-generation marketing and leasing technology in a solution that can be implemented today.

 <title>Gables Corporate Accommodations launches paperless online leasing with On-Site</title>
 <link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheBuzz_On-Site/~3/mqyvVgzU254/gables_corporate_accommodations_launches_paperless_online_leasing_site</link>
 <description>&lt;h2&gt;FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;One of the nation’s largest corporate housing providers is among the first to adopt paperless, online lease processing, e-signatures &amp;amp; resident screening to enhance customer convenience and promote &amp;quot;green&amp;quot; business practices&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Atlanta&lt;/b&gt; -– Signing a lease for a corporate apartment with Gables just became as easy as a few clicks.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Over the summer, the furnished housing division at Gables Residential, &lt;b&gt;Gables Corporate Accommodations&lt;/b&gt;, launched an online resident qualification and document management platform built by On-Site.com, a leading provider of online leasing solutions in the apartment business. The move is part of the eco-friendly campaign &lt;b&gt;&amp;quot;Taking Care of our Environment&amp;quot;&lt;/b&gt; and transforms the way Gables processes lease paperwork with its corporate residents.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Before On-Site, we were sending long faxes to complete the leasing process with our clients,&amp;quot; said Becky Barriault, administration manager at Gables Corporate Accommodations. &amp;quot;Our objective was to &lt;b&gt;streamline the leasing process&lt;/b&gt; for our clients and &lt;b&gt;eliminate paper use and storage&lt;/b&gt;.&amp;quot;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Both On-Site and Gables have been recognized for pioneering environmentally friendly advances; both companies were named as finalists in the first annual &lt;b&gt;Green Initiatives Awards &lt;/b&gt;by &lt;i&gt;Multi-Housing News&lt;/i&gt; magazine. When it comes to &amp;quot;going green&amp;quot; in multifamily, apartment developers and operators most often think of sustainable materials and renewable energy while ignoring the operational opportunity that &amp;quot;green leasing&amp;quot; delivers.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Today at Gables Corporate Accommodations, the lease agreement process is convenient and integrated, enabling corporate residents to e-sign lease contracts securely, 24 hours a day.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;The process has been extremely well-received since it is a significant time-saver and eliminates the need for printing and storing so much paperwork,&amp;quot; said Pam Wade, a vice president at Gables Corporate Accommodations. &amp;quot;In addition, it complements our &amp;quot;One Point of Contact&amp;quot; service for our clients – making the whole process of leasing a corporate apartment easy and convenient.&amp;quot;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;This is a really great process to sign lease paperwork,&amp;quot; said Terri Williams, an account manager at SIRVA Relocation. &amp;quot;This is the first corporate housing company I have known to do anything like this.&amp;quot;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On-Site, with headquarters in Silicon Valley, has seen the popularity of its flagship online leasing product rise when e-signatures were added to the mix and the company broadened its audience. &amp;quot;Leaders like Gables have helped our product design become more specialized without losing usability,&amp;quot; said Jake Harrington, On-Site’s Chief Revenue Officer. &amp;quot;In addition to conventional apartments, our solutions are &lt;b&gt;personalized for student, military, single-family, affordable, and now corporate housing&lt;/b&gt;.&amp;quot;
