YARDI recently launched the HOUSINGcafe application, a Web-based program that allows current and potential residents to go online and submit various documents and check their eligibility for “rent and income restricted housing programs”. Anant Yardi, president of YARDI, has stated that the application is potentially revolutionary, and will give housing providers and their clients an easier time accessing housing and rent documents. All documentation can be submitted and accessed electronically with the click of a button.
The application was developed in part with Concord Management of Maitland, Florida. Concord reported that during the test phase of HOUSINGcafe, they experienced a drop of 50% in the time it takes to complete required rent documentation. Some of the unique features of this incredibly configurable application include signing documents electronically and uploading supporting documentation. Along with these useful features, there is also the option of searching for vacant real estate listings. Suffice to say that the HOUSINGCafe application might be the start of something significant in the real estate industry, a collaborative platform where housing providers and clients can interact easily and efficiently.
