BOSTON, March 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Boston Pads has been receiving a significant number of questions regarding the spread of COVID-19 and updates regarding the market/rentals/showings. They are taking precautionary measures in order to successfully help remedy and mitigate some of the issues encountered regarding tenants, tours, best overall practices, technology enhancements, professional and effective communication and more.
They have reported that numerous landlords have informed tenants that showings will continue to occur until further notice. They are closely monitoring this situation and will be sending out emails as events warrant. Boston Pads also has a hotline available seven days a week and staffed by licensed MA real estate agents. Please call 617-208-2197. They stress that no question is too small. As they continue to track the effects of COVID-19 in the Boston area, they will be providing strategic advice at request. They've developed a whole suite of technologies to monitor web traffic, real time availability and vacancy rates so we can keep you well informed of marketplace nuances.
Boston Pads has implemented additional technologies that can give you the average rental prices for each neighborhood by bedroom count. Their software team has been working diligently to make sure vital information is available to landlords and clients alike, so you can make informed decisions. The new Boston Pads website is enabled for client account set up and once a new property is activated, it's immediately emailed to you.
"We have had an influx of calls regarding immediate move-ins from students who are being asked to leave their dorms due to COVID-19 precautionary campus closures. To the best of our ability, we are working diligently to get these students into housing immediately," stated Demetrios Salpoglou, CEO of Boston Pads.
"Regarding tenants who are concerned about showings for units that are not currently vacant, we at Boston Pads have also put safety measures in place regarding showings."
As an example, their protocol has been provided below:
Boston Pads offices have been preparing all accounting departments to handle deposits and transfers remotely so no checks have to be cut. Therefore, they can significantly reduce unnecessary contact.
Demetrios went on to describe the transaction, "All of our escrow accounts are now enabled to send and receive money using Zelle instant transfer, at no cost to our landlords or clients. Most banks already have Zelle enabled for all accounts- check here to see if your bank has Zelle instant transfer enabled. To receive Zelle instant transfers for escrow monies, please simply provide your agent with your email address, and we can transfer the funds within minutes. Alternatively, if your bank does not support Zelle, we can send the money to you via wire transfer if you provide us with the wire instructions."
Salpoglou concluded in stating, "We want you to know that your business is our business. We are inextricably linked to your success. Many of you have rented properties through us for nearly two decades and we consider you family. During this difficult period, it is our utmost concern that we work harder than ever to exceed your expectations in a safe manner that protects everyone, agents, tenants and landlords."
