Building the Zero-Employee Property Manager

From AI to automation, centralization, and offshoring: how close are we to machines doing the property manager's job?

Automation and artificial intelligence continue to reinvent the real estate industry. Aspects of underwriting, design, development, leasing, and more are being fundamentally reworked right now.

So how far away are we from building the zero-employee property management company?

We tackled a similar exercise for real estate development a few months ago, sketching out how we’d build Asimov Partners, a ground-up real estate development firm with zero employees.

Today we’ll do the same with property management by creating Asimov Management, a full-service multifamily property manager that happens to have no full-time staff. To do so, we’ll employ best-in-class tools across leasing, maintenance, customer service, reporting, and more.
