An owner complaining that "the guests broke something," or a guest complaining that "it was already broken when I arrived." These situations are very unpleasant for every property manager. They often become a battle of "he said, she said." Without objective evidence, it is very difficult to determine who is right and who should bear the cost of repair.
Who is right?
The cleaner claims it was already broken during cleaning. The guest, on the other hand, says they found it that way. The owner is upset their apartment is not in perfect condition. In such a case, the agency stands in the middle, risking the loss of trust from both sides.
The problem: Subjective claims vs. objective data
The problem is the lack of evidence. If you rely only on human memory or vague notes on paper, you lose in the event of a dispute. Professional property management requires a system that documents the condition of the apartment over time.
The solution: Integrated camera
FalcoNest allows workers within the Worker App to take photos directly with a task. Whether it's a condition check before a guest's arrival or reporting a defect, everything is documented. Photos are automatically assigned to a specific task and apartment.
Advantage: Photos in every report
Because you have the photos directly in the system, it is very easy to attach them to the monthly report for the owner. The owner sees that you are taking care of their apartment responsibly. When a defect occurs, they immediately see what it is and understand why a repair is necessary. That builds immense trust.
Professional impression
An owner who receives photo documentation of their property feels they have control, even if they are hundreds of kilometers away. Your services shift from a "necessary evil" to a "professional partnership."
Conclusion: Trust as the basis of cooperation
Documentation isn't just about "policing" workers. It's about protecting everyone involved. When the rules are clear and demonstrable, disputes naturally decrease. FalcoNest will help you set a standard that distinguishes you from the competition.
