Rent Manager Was Made for Mirelle Property Management

When Jim Brandt bought his first computer in 1989, he never imagined that 15 years later he would be running his own company using a computer, or that one simple program called Rent Manager^™ would be managing almost every aspect of his company—from rent tracking to work orders to utility billing.

Jim is now the President of Mirelle Property Management, Inc., which got its start in 1999 when Jim purchased his first manufactured home community. Currently, the company owns five communities in the Central Pennsylvania area. 

Jim first became acquainted with Rent Manager while working with another company supporting its computer network. He liked the program so much that he bought a copy of it when he started his property management business in 1999. He has been using the program ever since.

“It’s very easy to use,” Jim says. “All the icons are at the top of the screen and individual application tabs are at the bottom, it’s laid out well, and the technical support is second to none.”

Jim admits he rarely uses Rent Manager’s technical support for anything more than customized tweaks to meet his unique needs. And when he does need actual help, he gets a response almost immediately. “I had one issue a few months ago. I called late in the afternoon when I discovered it, and by 9:00 the next morning it was done!” Jim says.

Most importantly, Jim and his company have shared—and continue to share—their enthusiasm about the program with others because it is custom made for companies like his. “I’ve recommended it to people, and I will continue to recommend it,” Jim says. “A lot of management software out there is software that has been tweaked to accommodate rental properties. That’s not the case with Rent Manager. It’s designed for rental properties.”

Rent Manager has obviously been a key to Mirelle Property Management’s success, and Jim hopes with continued usage that the company will keep running efficiently and effectively into what he plans to be a prosperous and rewarding future.
