A dynamic real-estate investment management platform that grows with July Residential

About July Residential

Founded in 2007, July Residential is a real estate investment management firm specializing in multifamily units. The firm focuses on acquiring, managing, and developing multifamily units nationwide, with over 12,000 units across its portfolios. July Residential constantly provides a local team on the ground, managing partner and investor relationships with extensive knowledge of target markets.

July Residential maintains optimal relations with investors through reliable and transparent communication. The investment firm aims to double its investments within the next two years and believes that having access to advanced real estate investment management software and affiliating with the right partners will help achieve its objectives.

Challenges and Objectives

July Residential faced various service support and technical issues with two software vendors prior to reaching out to Agora. For instance, there were delays in the follow-up of customer support service, resulting in a bottleneck of unresolved requests.

According to feedback, the July Residential team felt that the software vendors had an “immature infrastructure” that lacked the tools and features required to maintain a fully integrated point of operation. The real estate investment management firm was at the cusp of reverting to segregated tools such as emails and spreadsheets when they decided to try a demo with Agora.

How Agora Supported July Residential

Before using Agora, July Residential faced lingering user interface issues in their manual backend processes through separate software such as spreadsheets and standard emails. Agora automated these processes with easy onboarding, driving accurate and seamless investor management in a seamless, professional, and more presentable manner.

Agora maintained responsive communications with July residential, growing with them each step of the way. Decision-makers within the investment firm could readily and conveniently connect with the Agora support team to expedite and resolve a query.

July Residential discovered that the Agora platform exceeded the common limitations of other investor management platforms. For instance, with Agora, the team could accurately calculate waterfalls and send specific distributions across various investor layers and structures frictionlessly.

Agora’s success provided assurance, and the platform offered features that had met July Residential’s software needs. July Residential looks forward to implementing the Agora platform as a fully integrated point of operation, managing K-1s, emails, distributions, and digital document signing, giving investors a fuss-free and enjoyable experience that encourages long-term relationships.

Ultimately, Agora improved July Residential’s impression of the limitations of real estate investment software as a reliable partner that promotes trust and accountability.

Closing Thoughts

July Residential had significant reservations regarding onboarding with investment management software. Isaac voiced his concerns about the sensitive process that involved multiple parties, including partners, investors, and employees, across hundreds of millions in managed assets.

Agora’s frictionless onboarding fulfilled July Residential’s expectations, offering investors a comfortable experience that encouraged software use and future investments. The smooth and easy process made it comfortable for every party collaborating with July Residential.
