High touch" and customer service from an "impression" standpoint might suffer but all else could work very well.Automated showings is easy nowadays.Automated maintenance and scheduling is fairly easy nowadays also as long as you have a solid vendor list.Also, have to "teach" the tenant from day 1 on "How to" use and do all of these things so on-boarding instructional manuals are vital.Just my opinion but I'm seeing the world of PM go heavily in the virtual direction.Well, at least the smart companies are doing it.Less overheads and a heavy reliance on tech and automation.Unfortunately, tech has let me down much less than people have over the years...I had an in depth talk with our team and we pretty much only need an office to hold keys lolEvery one can work from home with ease.Granted, they got use to the smell of my cigars in the office hahaIs smoking allowed in closed spaces?
