Today’s guest is a visionary leader who is passionate about leveraging technology to improve the way people look at real estate. Please welcome to the show, Steve Bonaventure! Steve is the Founder of Pineapple,  a company that looks to provide the all in one self touring solution for real estate. Join Steve as he sits down with the host Anna Redmond to talk about some of the steps that property managers can take in order to keep themselves safe.

Takeaways:

• As more properties begin to open up and allow for more access from consumers, these spaces need to look toward upgrading the security related aspect. They can follow the model for security that other services such as Uber, Lyft and AirBnB offer.   
• At the end of the day, multi-family housing by nature is limited in the security sense. It’s often a balance between balancing risk mitigation and legality. It’s all about leveraging private databases in a way to be able to mitigate any risk.
• Being a mid-level property manager can be a dangerous job. According to OSHA, it is classified as a higher risk job.
• For multi-family properties, it used to be that about a dozen property managers would look out for a 300 unit apartment building, but now there are less and less property managers so less people will have to end up doing more work.
• One way to prevent issues with unknown customers coming to tour a building is to have a sign that states that you verify IDs before a tour and follow through with that. Verifying an ID will prove that someone is who they say they are and keep everyone safe.
• The property management industry is heading toward a more centralized environment where cameras and sensors will be more of a common thing in those spaces. 
• Originally, Steve was passionate about wanting to work in homeland security but he found a way to combine the safety and security with property management.
