In this episode of Property Management Frame Breakers, host Pablo Gonzalez sits down with Jay Berube, CMO & Co-Owner of BetterWho, to unpack how AI and remote teams are converging to redefine operational efficiency and profitability in property management.
Jay didnāt start out as an AI guy. He first scaled a property management company from 0 to 350 doors in two years, and in the process he realized something:
Efficiency = Profitability.
His quest for efficiency led him to start BetterWho, the highest quality remote teammate staffing agency in property management, but today efficiency means embracing AI.
So he joined us to lay out what that looks like.
Hereās what youāll learn in this episode: ā AI vs. Remote Teams (RTMs): Why theyāre more alike than you thinkāand why the best businesses leverage both. ā The AI-Efficient Company: What a tech-forward PM company looks like today vs. what it will look like in 5 years. ā The Control Shift: Why AI adoption is less about technology and more about property managers letting go. ā Scalability Without the Pain: How AI is eliminating the āprofitability rollercoasterā of hiring & firing based on door count. ā The Next Big KPI Shift: The new benchmarks property managers will need to track as AI transforms the industry.
