In the fast-paced world of real estate management, adaptability isn't just a desirable trait—it's a necessity.

Rebecca Kimber-Danger MRICS FAAV, Company Director has over 20 years’ experience in all aspects of residential, agricultural and commercial property management. She works with
a diverse portfolio of clients across the West of England, customising her advice and services to suit individual requirements. In our discussion, Rebecca delves into the firm's transformative journey with Re-Leased which has become the cornerstone of their operations.
From humble beginnings managing a modest team to overseeing a workforce of 28, Fowler Fortescue's evolution has been nothing short of remarkable. However, with growth comes complexity, and traditional server-based systems proved inadequate in the face of remote work during the pandemic. We discuss the benefits of a cloud system over a server approach here.
Fowler Fortescue required a modern property management system to manage their diverse portfolio. Re-Leased offered unparalleled flexibility tailored to the firm's multifaceted needs, marking the beginning of a transformative partnership.
With Re-Leased at their fingertips, Fowler Fortescue bid farewell to scattered spreadsheets and disparate systems, ushering in an era of streamlined operations and centralised data management. The integration with Xero further enhanced efficiency, empowering the team to consolidate data effortlessly across their extensive estates.
No longer bound by reactive measures, the firm found themselves at the helm, steering operations with precision and foresight. Tasks that once seemed daunting and were high impact became streamlined and time-saving endeavours, empowering the team to focus on strategic growth initiatives.
The ability to do that rent review through the software is hugely time-saving.
Re-Leased Insights equips Rebecca and the team with the tools she needs to maintain accountability, identify trends, and mitigate risks proactively. A feature that transcends mere data analysis to drive strategic decision-making.
It allows for accountability within the team, requiring effort to ensure it isn't solely used retrospectively. Instead, the focus is on instilling confidence in its role as an active tool for facilitating proactive management and decision-making
Being able to see a lot of data and see the spike and think, hang on a minute. There must be something wrong with that. Is it either our data inputting. Or actually, we have missed something? It points in the right direction to be able to pick up problems quickly.
Reflecting on Fowler Fortescue's expanded reach, Rebecca attributes their success to Re-Leased's ability to facilitate remote management seamlessly. With property managers dispersed across vast estates, Re-Leased has served as a conduit for collaboration and strategic oversight, ensuring that every stakeholder is equipped with the tools they need to succeed.
"We do need to have a handle on what everybody's doing and to ensure that we are up to date and we are proactively managing rather than reactively managing."
Employee experience is a key contributor to this growth and we dive deeper into maximising this in our blog post - "Properties or People – Are You Maximising the Potential of Both?"
