Benefits of GuestParq for Property Management

GuestParq allows property managers to gain insight into their visitor parking through a real-time access log.

GuestParq provides intel and total transparency on every visitor entering and exiting the property. Through the use of GuestParq along with ParqEx’s Enforcer App, property managers (along with enforcement officers) can easily see which visitors have come and gone. This visibility and control give managers tremendous insights into who is parking on their property, where, when, and for how long. Gone are the days of accidentally towing the wrong vehicle! If anyone violates parking policies, the Enforcer App can instantly issue parking violations via property management staff’s smartphones. The Enforcer App tracks it all.

Without a doubt, GuestParq is a luxury amenity add-on that increases the satisfaction of current residents and attracts prospective residents. Instead of worrying about parking availability, guests can simply arrive at their reserved spot. The security of knowing that every car visiting the structure is monitored is another selling point.

Who doesn’t like another stream of revenue? Who doesn’t love generating revenue from existing assets? With GuestParq, property managers can now have the option of monetizing their guest parking. Suppose property management decides to charge a fee for each of the GuestParq spots on their property. In that case, one can use this supplemental income for different projects or property improvements and updates. 

 

Benefits of GuestParq for Residents

With ParqEx’s GuestParq, parking is exponentially easier for residents. In a world where we are trying to avoid unnecessary human interaction due to health concerns, having the ability to book visitor parking via the ParqEx app without the management staff’s help is a considerable advantage. Some benefits for residents include:

• • Faster Process for Guest Parking

GuestParq gives residents the ability to reserve private visitor parking ahead of time for their guests on the app. Not only can they book guest parking by the hour or the day, but they can also book the spot for more extended stays. All they need to do is enter information about their guest and their vehicle’s details! With this information, ParqEx’s GuestParq, Access +, or with our License Plate Reading technology, management can recognize the guest’s vehicle and allow access at any entry point on the property. If the residents don’t know all of the guests’ vehicle information, it’s not an issue! The visitor will receive an email and an SMS notification reminding them to fill in the necessary vehicle information before their visit.

• • Less Effort to Help Guests Park

Not only is it effortless to reserve a guest parking spot, but it’s just as easy for visitors to have access to their reservation along with the parking facility. Upon booking the parking spot, the resident can transfer the parking spot to their guest via email and SMS. This both eliminates the anxiety surrounding parking and simplifies the entire process. GuestParq allows residents to book a guest parking spot for their visitors from the comfort of their own homes. Upon the visitor’s arrival, ParqEx’s Access + or Access + Premium takes over and allows a smooth entry and exit for the guest. GuestParq can transform visitor parking from a huge inconvenience to a high-tech luxury amenity for residents.

• • Increased Income for residents

Additionally, residents can now earn supplemental income by renting out their assigned parking spots. Through the use of ParqEx’s Private Parking Marketplace, if a resident has an underutilized parking spot, they can rent out that spot to the public on an hourly, daily, weekly, or even monthly basis. 

• • Satisfied Guests and residents

Not having to deal with headaches surrounding guest parking is an added benefit for residents. Residents already have to leave the comfort of their own homes for hundreds of other reasons. Let your residents kick their feet up, relax, and not have to go down to greet their guests in the parking structure! Granting their guests a parking solution along with an automatic entry/exit of the property is undoubtedly a luxury amenity for both residents and their visitors.

Benefits of GuestParq for Guests and Visitors

With GuestParq, visitors no longer have to continuously work out back-up plans of what to do when they undoubtedly have a hard time finding parking. Additionally, guests can stop sending the “I’m here” text instead of merely showing up at the residents’ doorstep. Some benefits for guests include:

• • Higher Confidence in Parking Availability

GuestParq delivers a sense of relief for guest parkers before they even get in their vehicles. Merely knowing that a parking spot is already reserved for them provides peace of mind. There’s nothing worse than arriving at a property, finding no parking, and having to drive around several blocks hoping to find an off-site parking spot. The ease of GuestParq makes guests’ visits to the property enjoyable and could even encourage these visitors to look into moving to the property. 

• • Easy Arrival/Exit

With just a handful of taps on their smartphones, residents can book and send the reservation details to the intended guest. ParqEx’s technology on-site will then grant the visitor access. Thanks to this, guests no longer have to worry about visitor fobs, garage entry, or even having to search for a spot. Furthermore, residents no longer have to rush to let their guests inside the property. With GuestParq, the annoyance of ensuring that visitors can enter and exit the property is eliminated.

• • Better Overall Impression of Building and Management

Having impressive parking solutions that allow residents to reserve a spot for their guests in advance is something that visitors will remember. A property can have several desirable amenities, like a state-of-the-art gym, the best appliances, or maybe even a rarely-used fancy concierge. Most properties tend to fall short when it comes to their parking situation. Guaranteed, something as simple as GuestParq will be a positive takeaway for all property visitors.
