Apartment Inventory Management (AIM) entered the Houston market in 2005 as the first apartment data provider to give every apartment a free listing with free access to update rates and specials ONLINE. Similar to a real estate multi listing service, AIM is exclusively for apartment owners, managers, apartment locators and real estate agents, not the general public.In 2010 we are taking online access to the next level. The multi family industry has changed drastically in the last five years and AIM is changing with it to help owners, managers and agents navigate the changes and stay competitive.We are continuously evaluating the industry and improving our technology. We approach each day asking ourselves “How do we help our clients, get more clients?” We are diligent about gathering feedback and ideas from brand new leasing agents starting in the industry to seasoned professionals who have seen it all because they all have a different point of view that improves AIM as a company. Our process has been innovative from the beginning. In 2005 people said apartments would not update their own information online, but we find managers need the flexibility of updating their information at their convenience. We were the first to create the Locator Expo which is an annual event for apartment managers and apartment locators to network together and we average almost 500 people per event. We are the first to track and report occupancy, price per square foot and average rents on properties who work with locators versus properties that don’t pay locator commissions. We are industry experts in ways that no other company can claim because we track information that no one else tracks.We have many other “firsts” that we would enjoy sharing with you. Please visit the Locator and Managersections of our web site to learn more about our features and benefits but please don’t hesitate to contact us if you want to talk to a real person….we would like to talk to you too.

Apartment Inventory Management strives to provide the most complete database possible for locators to search from. Since our very first version in 2005, AIM has always given every apartment in Houston a free listing in our database to make sure locators have every possible apartment that pays a locator commission available. In July 2010 our database contains 2,414 apartments. The AIM system automatically filters out the apartments that don't work with locators on each search, but you can manually include them with a simple check box.The Current Scenario: The last couple of years has changed the way locators must search for apartments. Consider how many apartments offer free rent, how many new apartments have opened and the increase in clients that need to move into an apartment after a foreclosure. Other locating software products require a locator to search for a property that fits client criteria and then make numerous time consuming phone calls to find out if they have a unit type available. What if a client needs a unit with an attached garage? A locator has to call every complex that advertises attached garages to find out if they have a unit available. Other locating software products require a locator to spend the majority of the transaction narrowing down the search results instead of qualifying the client and closing the deal. Apartment locators and on site staff relationships also suffer because of the inefficient communication that transpires between emails, phone calls, the answering service and lack of time to address each communication. This is an outdated and redundant scenario when the power of the internet should perform most of the work and provide easy communication to confirm the findings.The Solution: AIM has reinvented the way locators find available units. We list amenities that you find in each unit on each floor plan. So you can search for available units that have an attached garage instead of a property that has attached garages. Net rent is calculated on every floor plan so its impossible for you to miss a free rent concession because AIM only searches on Net Rent. If a client has been foreclosed or filed bankruptcy, AIM will remove all properties that do not work with these special circumstances you dont have to spend hours or possibly days calling apartments and waiting for call backs from on site staff that are already busy.Getting It Done: It has long been our belief that the only way to keep the data current is to incentivize the onsite personnel to keep it updated online. Having a call center update the information incurs the same issues that you have with answering services and waiting for call backs. We have now created an incentive and rewards program for apartment managers to inspire them to keep their rates and specials current for locators. Our communication tools like Wall Posts, E-Brochures and Property Update Requests streamlines the information between locators and managers so phone calls can be reduced and responses can happen quicker electronically. The truth is managers want to work with locators and dont want to answer the hundreds of phone calls no more than you want to make hundreds of phone calls. The AIM system uses the convenience of the internet to simplify these tasks.

AIM understands that every apartment in Houston makes decisions based on comps and submarket information. If you’re paying for a data provider, you shouldn’t be spending company time calling your comps each week for market surveys. AIM solves this problem by offering three levels of reporting.Free Basic Reports – when you log in to the free customer portal you will see several free reports on your property based on what rent, availability and specials you have listed on each floor plan. As long as you have updated your rents in the last seven days, you will also be able to see reports on up to 10 competing properties that you select. Access to the competitive reports disables any time your information is more than seven days old so please update once a week.Submarket & Metro Reports – Currently we have twelve standard reports that can be purchased online. These reports include extensive information on your comps, submarket and the Houston area. Buy only the reports you need, you’re not obligated to buy a package and most reports are $30 each. You can subscribe to these reports every month or buy a one time snapshot. Our report library is unlimited so if you don’t see a report that you need, AIM will customize a report at no cost to you and then make the report available for you to purchase. Samples of each report are available once you log in to the customer portal.

Search . Made Easy | Locator Network | Cross Advertising on Three WebsitesHouston has more apartments and apartment locators than any other city in the U.S. Our web based software allows the 2500 apartments in Houston and estimated 700 apartment locators to access the same information and disseminate changes immediately and efficiently. Search . Made Easy - Free rent, new construction and housing foreclosures has forever changed the way locators need to search for an apartment. Until now apartment locating software programs require a locator to search for a property that fits client criteria and then make numerous time consuming phone calls to find out if you have a unit available. This requires a lot of your time answering and returning locator phone calls OR you have to turn away a prospect because you don’t have a unit available then you and the locator seems unprepared. This is an outdated and redundant scenario when the ease of the internet should perform sophisticated and detailed search functionality and provide easy communication between manager and locator.AIM is Search. Made Easy by reorganizing the way apartment information is collected. By redistributing critical data to the unit instead of the property we have significantly reduced the need for phone calls. Our software can retrieve a unit with specific criteria such as a 2 bedroom with a den, 2 bath in the Galleria with a 2 car attached garage, a full size washer and dryer connection because they have their own machines, at a property that accepts a 100lb dog with a maximum price of $1500.00. Currently that would require a locator to call every apartment in the Galleria that advertises attached garages and accepts a 100lb dog and see if they have a unit that fits the rest of the criteria. Are you missing referrals because a locator can’t find your free rent special? Not anymore! The net rent is calculated on every unit and searchable by locators. Are you ready for a system that makes you more competitive, save time and make working with locators easier? AIM is the solution! It takes about 30 minutes to set up your new customer portal and fill in the new reorganized data. The AIM staff is happy to fill in the new data for you if you fax the Property Set Up Form from our web site. Or you can request an onsite training and one of our customer service reps will schedule a time to come on site. Since you are responsible for the information in the portal, you will know the information is always current. AIM Locator Network - In 2008 we formed the AIM Locator Network which is an online community of apartment locators that share information, events and ideas. A locator does not need to be a client of the AIM software to access the Locator Network or attend our networking events. It is available to all apartment locators in Houston. Through the Locator Network we organize an annual Locator Expo which usually attracts approximately 250 locators. Up to 50 management companies are allowed to purchase a table that is set up like a trade show and then managers can meet approximately 250 locators in one afternoon. We hosted two events in 2008 and two in 2009 but decided to make it an annual event that now takes place each October.

Do you feel like this when it's time to pay for marketing tools?
Apartment Inventory Management is proud to have the same pricing for the last 5 years. We know our rates are very competitive so instead of raising prices, we improve our tools and add services. As we grow, new tools are introduced and if an apartment wants to purchase these tools that's great, but we haven't had to raise prices on existing services.
