Residential Property Management
If you are a property owner and are renting out a property, that property is an investment. The key to any investment is to reduce risk exposure, lower costs, be effective and efficient. If you are a first time investor, it may not be immediately evident how much time it takes to are a first time investor, it may not be immediately evident how much time it takes to successfully manage a property. Even as a seasoned landlord you may think you have the necessary components to self-manage things only to find out it’s a bit more complicated.
Properties require commitment when dealing with the back and of the operations like bookkeeping. Filing legal documents, collecting rent, portfolio management, supervising repairs, being on-call, etc. Time is valuable and some landlords may have 1or several rental properties; however, they are still maintaining a 9-5 job. Have you ever thought about how you will be two places at once? Having a Property manager will give you the time to pursue other money making opportunities. Property Managers have systems in place to immediately address issues that arise to ensure tenant satisfaction which will encourage a longer tenancy and reduce vacancy to save you money.
How are maintenance requests handled?
The tenants may call in, fax or email their requests to us. After we are in receipt, the property manager then contacts the tenant to ask certain questions for an over the phone assessment. Before your money is spent on a service fee and a service technician is sent out, we make sure it isn’t a problem that can be fixed over the phone (i.e. tripped breaker, reset button on garbage disposal).
We are able to fulfill most request within 1-3 business days; however, comfort items like water heater or air conditioning receive the highest priority and are addressed the same or next day. We have an available hotline 24/7 to deal with emergencies so no request goes untended.
How am I assured my property manager won’t spend my money or large repairs without my consent?
In our agreement we have a limits on the amount of funds that can be spent without the owner’s approval. Any repairs/maintenance below that amount will be taken care of without notification. In cases where the health and/or safety of a tenant is jeopardized, further damage can be incurred if not immediately addressed, and only one options is available to repair the issue, the property manager will initiate the work without owner’s approval.
Overall, we are here to serve you in any way we can! We are here to make your Association better!
Portfolio Managers
What’s in Your Portfolio?
Problem solving can be challenge for any type of board
Portfolio managers work with many boards—some disparate, some cohesive. Some are better at solving problems and making decisions than others. What kind of decision-makers are in your portfolio? Do you work with board members who oversimplify problems to make them easier to deal with, board members who bicker because it’s too this or too that. Come back to those discussions later in the process.
Don’t let board members eliminate choice because they believe they’re unattainable. Rather than saying “that’s impossible,” explore ways to achieve the solution anyway. If a problem among the board may be sufficient to broaden their attitudes.
Remind boards to consider the risks inherent in each solution. Identifying unlikely drawbacks requires some creative thinking, but it also contributes to a good outcome. Include this question when talking to the experts.
