New partnership makes Xfinity high-speed internet available through RentCafe, offering residents convenience from day one
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. June 13, 2024 — Yardi®, a leading real estate software provider, announced a new partnership with Xfinity Communities to offer residents powerful internet connectivity at move-in, directly through Yardi’s RentCafe® resident portal. This partnership makes Xfinity Internet, known for its high-speed connectivity and network reliability, along with other Xfinity services, available for residents to select in RentCafe, an innovative platform by Yardi that streamlines the resident journey from unit selection to move-in.
Today’s property managers face a unique set of challenges. Resident expectations have rapidly evolved alongside technologies, tools and trends. Offering residents a seamless, innovative and personalized experience at key moments of need—such as accessing amenities like advanced connectivity, entertainment and mobile services— is a beneficial way to differentiate a property and boost success.
“Easily signing up for Wi-Fi is crucial to a seamless move-in experience. Allowing residents to select their Wi-Fi service with a few clicks during the move-in process improves both convenience and efficiency,” said Akshai Rao, president of residential at Yardi. “We are confident in our partnership with Xfinity Communities and look forward to taking yet another step in helping our clients deliver exceptional resident experiences.”
Through this agreement, Yardi and Xfinity Communities aim to set a new precedent for the multifamily industry by making the move-in process as easy as possible.
“The multifamily market is evolving towards a more convenient, streamlined approach to amenity offerings. Technology integrations such as this are critical to simplifying the entire rental journey for prospects, residents and staff,” said Emily Waldorf, senior vice president of consumer internet services at Comcast. “We’re proud to partner with Yardi on this platform and to provide their client’s residents easy access to advanced connectivity and other Xfinity services at move-in and other moments of need.”
Yardi plans to roll out more offerings to enhance the resident experience through its portal. For more information on how this can benefit your multifamily organization, contact a Yardi representative.
