Join Kerry W. Kirby and Jimmy Lancaster, the masterminds behind the Multifamily Tech Gurus Podcast Series, as they explore how the right tech stack is the key to hyperscaling property management companies, as they break down the strategies and technologies that fuel rapid growth—without sacrificing control, compliance, or consistency.

In this episode, Kerry and Jimmy uncover how forward-thinking operators are leveraging technology to streamline operations, boost efficiency, and create frictionless experiences for both teams and residents—transforming everything from marketing and leasing to day-to-day management. They highlight how automation eliminates repetitive tasks, integrations break down data silos, and AI delivers insights that drive smarter decisions. By examining real-world use cases, they reveal how the right tech stack not only reduces costs and mitigates risk but also elevates the renter journey.

Kerry and Jimmy’s Words of Wisdom: “Property management companies that want to hyperscale can’t afford to be weighed down by fragmented systems or outdated tools. Growth at this level requires more than just adding units—it demands a technology foundation that connects every part of the business. The right tech stack doesn’t just streamline operations; it frees teams from repetitive tasks, improves decision-making with real-time data, and creates seamless experiences that today’s renters expect.”

Join Kerry W. Kirby and Jimmy Lancaster, the masterminds behind the Multifamily Tech Gurus Podcast Series, as they explore the rising challenge of data overload and how excessive information can cloud judgment, distract from key objectives, and lead to analysis paralysis, creating a culture of hesitation rather than action.

In this episode, Kerry and Jimmy expose the dangers of relying on overlays instead of real accessibility practices. They break down why these shortcuts fail to address the underlying code issues, how they often interfere with assistive technologies, and why they’re increasingly becoming the focus of lawsuits and regulatory scrutiny. The duo also explains what true compliance requires—code-level remediation, continuous testing, and transparency—and how operators can protect their businesses while actually making their digital platforms usable for everyone.

Kerry and Jimmy’s Words of Wisdom: "Accessibility isn’t a box you can check with a widget. Operators who think an overlay will shield them from lawsuits or deliver real compliance are setting themselves up for failure. True accessibility requires commitment, not shortcuts—and the companies that understand this are the ones building trust, avoiding risk, and serving all renters with dignity."

Join Kerry W. Kirby and Jimmy Lancaster, the masterminds behind the Multifamily Tech Gurus Podcast Series, as they uncover how vendors are quietly reshaping the market—leveraging connections, sharing trusted recommendations, and wielding behind-the-scenes influence that drives real change.

In this episode, Kerry and Jimmy reveal how service providers in the multifamily housing industry have moved beyond one-sided relationships to become gatekeepers, matchmakers, and catalysts for growth. They’re often tapped by ownership groups for recommendations on property management companies, leveraging their unique vantage point across the industry. With referrals, data insights, and cross-portfolio visibility, these providers wield significant influence—many working with hundreds of communities across dozens of portfolios, providing them with a rare 360-degree view of what works and what doesn't.

Kerry and Jimmy’s Words of Wisdom: “Property management companies often hold the purse strings, creating a one-sided dynamic. Vendors can find themselves constantly pitching, over-delivering, or waiting on slow payments just to stay in the game. But in today’s market—where technology, compliance, and renter expectations evolve at lightning speed—vendors are no longer just suppliers; they’re strategic enablers. The smartest property management firms are beginning to recognize this, treating vendor relationships as long-term partnerships rather than transactional checkboxes.”
