Secret Weapon Unveiled – Leasing Bot

Secret Weapon Unveiled – Leasing Bot, here at Visture, we believe in using technology to innovate the field of property management. This industry is one typically run by old, stodgy, stale ideas and it’s time for a shakeup. Early in 2020 we introduced a whole new concept, a whole new idea to innovate a leasing robot (AKA: leasing-bot).

We combined the power of remi360.com’s Artificial Intelligence (AI), automated marketing systems with Visture Property Management Peterborough’s innovated leasing process to create the Leasing-Bot

Over the last several months, we can confirm that the Leasing-Bot has saved hundreds of hours and generated dozens of quality leases, mostly automatically. Genius!

For the full scoop, register and attend the Leasing-Bot Presentation that is being hosted by remi360 and Visture Property Management Peterborough.

Student Rentals during and post COVID-19

Are you planning to convert your property into a Student Rentals? Or maybe, you currently own one.
Visture Property Management Peterborough has some advice for you.

During this pandemic, student rentals are the hardest hit market in Real Estate. Classes had been canceled until further notice. Some Universities are saying they will settle for online classes, some might not reopen until the year 2021. So if you’re planning on giving away free rentals until September, think carefully. Plan for the possible long-term effect.

Hoping and praying for your Real Estate business is not enough. Think strategically and make sure you are updated with the news about the Universities near your place.

Plan wisely. Will you really spend thousands of dollars on converting your property to a student rental, knowing that classes won’t resume anytime soon?

Stunning Before/After for Parkhill (Video)

We’re very excited to unveil the “Riverside Project” and our before/after video. You can see from this video, everything was completely renovated, from top to bottom. Other than the outer shell, everything else was replaced with new, modern, up-to-date, fashionable materials. The lucky family that have rented these 2 units is very thankful for Visture Property Group’s commitment to helping with the housing crisis.

This building was a single family dwelling and now it’s a legal duplex with additional housing for additional families. Every little bit helps Peterborough.

Covid19 Response Plan For Tenants

Times are strange, times are unpredictable, and soon, times may be tough. It seems like on a daily basis, our government is making a public announcement declaring a new strategy to handle COVID-19. While we trust that these methods will surely help keep us Canadians healthy and safe,  some of us to worry when it comes to financially supporting ourselves.

Please listen to the short video that we put together for you:

Early this week, our government listed the essential services that will be staying open during these uncertain times and thankfully, it is quite a long list. We recommend that you have a look so you can better determine whether or not your job or business will be affected for the foreseeable future.

 https://news.ontario.ca/opo/en/2020/03/ontario-supporting-workers-municipalities-and-retailers-in-response-to-covid-19.html

This list is just as helpful when it comes to leaving your home. Please plan ahead and make thoughtful trips, and keep these outings to a minimum. Businesses are taking great measures of care to assure that exposure is at its lowest. So help them continue this effort by staying home if you are sick, ask for help where it’s offered and use all protective measures when out and about.

If your employment is affected, and you are facing reduced hours or job-loss for an undetermined amount of time, don’t fret because there are options to keep you on your feet. We at Visture Property Management understand that these circumstances are without rules and we are here to offer you a helping hand in finding you the support that you will need.

Trudeau took to the podium to announce the support that will be available to Canadians and just recently, with minor alterations, it has passed through legislation. This means that we are one step closer to having the support readily available to us.

On another good note, Ontario is stepping up and also providing some relief to us fellow Ontarians. These progressive measures include adapting the Emergency Assistance program to this pandemic, additional support to those already on Social Assistance, enforcing helpful steps in reducing the risk of catching and spreading the virus in the workplace, and financially aiding municipalities in creating support for you. Please review the positive steps our province and city is taking in the links below :

What does this mean to you, as a renter? Well, the government put a lot of thought behind their choices and while evictions are put on hold, they are not halting the eviction process. So, rather than renters across the country avoiding paying their rent and eventually ending up in large debts when this is all over, they are giving you some financial stability to keep our rent system running as normal as possible. On a daily basis, we monitor any information and updates that are released. We are dedicated to being informed about all the financial support that is available, and what may be best for your specific situation.

We want to work with you to get through these unstable times. So please reach out to us and open a line of communication if you think you may need help, not just with paying your rent but for anything that Visture Property Management can do for you!

In closing, please remember to practice good, basic hygiene such as:

  • Using soap around the home to wash your hands and counter tops it’s safer and healthier than using sanitizer.
  • Keeping a safe distance (6 feet/2 meters) will protect you.
  • Not inviting people in your personal living space
  • Don’t congregate in public  areas unnecessarily. only for your immediate needs.
  • Cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze
  • And a bit of common sense don’t hord there will be plenty for all of us if we buy just whaat we consume.

Be well and be safe

53 Parkhill Rd. West Peterborough Apartment For Rent

Visture property managementAfter nearly a year of dealing with the city and most recently the COVID19 challenges, we are thrilled that we will soon be able to help 2 families with some amazing housing in Peterborough.

Peterborough has had a housing shortage crisis for many years and we at Visture Property Group and Visture Property Management Peterborough are trying very hard to help good families have a great home.

This new property has been completely rebuilt from the ground up – it’s barely recognizable (see before/after pics). Having survived two fires this building needed the Visture Property Managmenet touch! Let’s just say we gave it A LOT of TLC. Everything is brand new including the infrastructure of the building.

The lower unit is a 3 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom premium apartment and the upper unit is a 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom apartment. Both apartments have the most amazing views with an incredible location. The green space and access to water is unprecedented being so close to down (15 minute walk to downtown).

More details will be released very soon (Including full before/after shots and wait until you see the inside pictures, oh la la) but for now if you’re interested in being considered for this apartment, please send us an email vpm@visture.ca
