Property management companies have been killing it on social media this past year. Social media is as important for property management companies as it is for their individual properties. To recognize the hard work that goes into managing an extraordinary social media presence, we’re showcasing our fav social media accounts from a variety of social channels. From Facebook to Pinterest and everywhere in-between, here are the property management companies who are on-point with their social media outreach.

Top contenders on Instagram:

Stuyvesant Town

StuyTown’s Instagram shares a day in the life of a StuyTown resident. From local restaurant recommendations to updating the progress of their solar power initiative, StuyTown keeps their Instagram feed strong. Of course, some great shots of residents and local wildlife help too!

AMLI Residential

AMLI’s Instagram feed features amazing pics of their beautiful apartment communities from across the country. With glamorous shots from their downtown Denver rooftop, resident amenities like their community bike shop, and designs of model apartments for prospective residents, AMLI’s feed is perfect for any Instagram lurkers looking to see what this property management company has to offer.

Those ruling the Twitter game:

Park La Brea Apartments

To keep residents up-to-speed on happenings in Los Angeles, Park La Brea’s Twitter features content about events from around the city. They recommend gems like Dine L.A.’s restaurant week, L.A. Mag’s weekly list of the city’s best events, and they even feature highlights from their own events. For residents, Park La Brea’s Twitter is an insiders guide to Los Angeles.

The leaders on Facebook:

Fairfield Residential

Great content is the foundation of Fairfield Residential’s Facebook page. By integrating posts from their blog into their Facebook feed, they can share ideas directly with their residents in an environment that is more personal than an email. Check out their blog design in our best property management website designs post.

Celebrating amenities, staff, and their residents is what Lincoln Property’s Facebook page is all about. Seasonal photos from their properties, staff birthday or anniversary photos, and blog articles for residents are just some of what you’ll find on their page. Featuring information for every member of their community means their Facebook presence really does have something for everyone.

The most creative on Pinterest:

Wasatch Property Management

Pinterest is a unique way for property management companies to interact with residents on social media. Wasatch Property Management’s Pinterest account is a place where they can share recipes, apartment photos, and design tips with their residents. With its easy-to-use, photo-centric design, Pinterest is the perfect place for properties to share photos and community resources with residents.

Trinity Property Consultants

One great Pinterest feature is the ability to share property-specific content with residents. Individual property folders help residents find and keep track of fun topics targeted for their community. Trinity Property’s Pinterest features apartment design photos, before-and-after photos of apartment renovations, and resident event photos all in one convenient place.

The best of Youtube:

The Bozzuto Group

Creating engaging video content is a challenge for any property management company. That’s why Bozzuto’s YouTube channel is so impressive. One example of what separates their YouTube channel from the rest of the industry is a conversation with Dr. Rachel Brem about her experience with breast cancer and information about her self-diagnosis. Sharing stories about topics that impact both their residents and staff is something that makes Bozzuto’s social media outreach extraordinary.

Greystar Real Estate Partners

Greystar’s Youtube channel is home to beautifully filmed videos that profile their unique properties and amenities. These introductory videos help give each of their properties a personal appeal that’s perfect for sharing with new residents or anyone considering joining a Greystar community.
