​Effective communication is crucial in multifamily communities to ensure smooth operations and resident satisfaction. A comprehensive communication strategy that blends traditional methods with modern technology can facilitate clear and efficient exchanges among residents, board members, and property managers. While digital tools like online resident portals streamline processes such as package tracking and maintenance requests, in-person interactions remain valuable for fostering personal connections and addressing complex issues.

Online portals enhance communication by providing real-time updates and easy access to information, reducing wait times and improving transparency. These platforms allow for efficient dissemination of notices, tracking of maintenance issues, and collection of resident feedback.

Whether you’re reserving space in a common area, tracking package arrivals, sending out newsletters, or emailing your comments or concerns, resident portals are giving shareholders better and quicker access,” says Doug Weinstein, Vice President of Southeast Operations at AKAM.”

It’s essential to recognize that not all residents may be comfortable with or have access to digital tools. Therefore, supplementing digital communication with traditional methods ensures inclusivity and effective outreach.​

Regardless of the medium, maintaining professionalism and responsiveness is key. Using a courteous tone, acknowledging receipt of inquiries promptly, and providing clear, concise information can prevent misunderstandings and build trust within the community. By combining technological advancements with personal engagement, property managers can create a communication framework that meets the diverse needs of all residents.
